When starting out in 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 should place your swine pen in a flat place that is free from mud that may attract insects.
Your swine pen should be adequate to accommodate your swines and should be comfortable to your swine as well. To make it comfortable you may install hog wire and 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 odors that the swine produce you can put hay and straws on the ground. You can even design parts in the pen where your pigs can feed, rest and relieve themselves. A nice roofing is needed as well to protect your pigs from extreme weather like heat and rainfall.
After you have built a pig pen you then go ahead in getting the right swine breed for your project. This has to be done carefully. Make sure that you buy your swine 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 have to do is take good care of them. You can do this by providing them with food plus clean water on daily bases. Keep in mind to clean the pen every once in a while to make sure that bacteria doesn’t develop in the pen. A proper pig will produce quality meat thus bringing you more profits.
