When beginning pig farming you should first plan on where you want your pigs to call home. For pig housing you should construct a well ventilated swine pen which is spacious as well. You must place your swine pen in a flat area that is free from mud that can being insects.
Your pig pen must be adequate to accommodate 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 must be buried six inches deep in the ground so that the pigs don’t dig under it. Concrete slabs will make sure that the floor is proper and easy to clean.
To absorb odours that the swine produce you can put hay plus straws on the ground. You may also design sections in the pen where your swine can feed, sleep and relieve themselves. A nice roofing is needed as well to protect your pigs from extreme weather like heat and rainwater.
After you have designed a pig pen you then go ahead in choosing the right swine breed for your project. This needs to be done carefully. Make sure that you buy your swine from a seller who knows what are high quality pigs and what are mediocre breeds.
Once your swine are in their houses all you need to do is take good care of them. This can be done by providing them with food plus clean water on daily bases. Remember to clean the pen every occasionally to make sure that bacteria doesn’t grow in the pen. A healthy hog will produce quality meat thus bringing you more profits.
