When beginning pig farming you should first plan on where you want your swines to call home. For pig housing you should construct a well aired pig pen which is spacious as well. You should place your pig pen in a flat area that is free from mud that may attract insects.
Your pig pen must be large enough to accommodate your domestic swine and should be comfortable to your pigs as well. To make it comfortable you may install hog wire and concrete slabs. The surrounding fence should 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 pigs produce you can put hay and straws on the ground. You can also design areas in the house where your swine can feed, sleep and relieve themselves. A good 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 choosing the right pig breed for your task. This has to be done carefully. Make sure that you purchase 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. This can be done by providing them with food and clean water on daily bases. Also remember to clean the pen every every now and then to make sure that bacteria doesn’t develop in the pen. A healthy hog will produce quality meat thus bringing you more profits.
