When beginning pig farming you should first plan on where you want your domestic swine to call home. For pig housing you should construct a well aired pig pen which is spacious as well. You must place your swine pen in a flat place that is free from mud that can being insects.
Your swine pen should be large enough to accommodate all your pigs and really should be comfortable to your swine as well. To make it comfortable you can install hog wire and concrete slabs. The fence should be buried six inches deep in the ground so that the pigs don’t dig under it. Concrete slabs will ensure that the floor is proper and easy to clean.
To absorb odours that the pigs produce you may put hay and straws on the floor. You may also design areas in the pen where your pigs can feed, rest and relieve themselves. A good roofing is required as well to protect your pigs from extreme weather like heat and rainfall.
After you have designed a pig pen you then go ahead in getting the right swine breed for your task. This has to be done carefully. Make sure that you purchase your pigs from a seller who has found out what are high quality pigs and what are mediocre breeds.
Once your pigs are in their houses all you need to do is take good care of them. You can do this by providing them with food and clean water on daily bases. Remember to clean the pen every every now and then to ensure that bacteria doesn’t grow in the pen. A healthy pig will produce quality meat thus giving you more profits.
