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 aired swine pen which is spacious as well. You must place your swine pen in a flat area that is free from mud that may being insects.
Your swine pen should be adequate to accommodate all of your pigs and should be comfortable to your pigs as well. To make it comfortable you may install hog wire plus concrete slabs. The fence must be buried 6 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 smells that the pigs produce you may put hay and straws on the floor. You can also design sections in the pen where your swine can feed, rest and relieve themselves. A nice roofing is required as well to protect your swine from extreme weather like heat and rainwater.
After you have designed a pig pen you then go ahead in getting the right swine breed for your task. This should be done carefully. Make sure that you buy your swine from a seller who has learned what are high quality pigs and what are mediocre breeds.
Once your swine are in their houses all you have 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 once in a while to ensure that bacteria doesn’t develop in the pen. A proper pig will produce quality meat thus bringing you more revenue.
