Pig Farming - One Of The Most Lucrative Business Ventures

Pig farming is one of the most profitable
business ventures one could take. Everybody
needs to eat and pork is one of widely used in
all parts of the world so it's nearly impossible
to run out of clients or customers. As one might
expect, pig farming takes a lot of time and
energy but it is not too difficult.

There are two ways you can raise your pigs: on
the pasture and on a barn or hut.

1) Pasturing Pigs.

You can leave a pig to pasture for pig farming
as long as you have a wide enough area of land
with a lot of grass and soil. All you need is to
construct a fence to keep your pigs from roaming
too far off your land. When fencing your pigs,
you should use very strong wood and thick corner
poles to make sure your pigs won't wreck the
barrier; pigs won't generally try to destroy the
fences but adult pigs are quite strong. You
should dig deep into the ground for your poles
because pigs are notorious diggers. While pigs
are still young, fencing them is easier since
they tend to stay where there is food and water.

2) Raising pigs in a barn.

Keeping your pigs in the barn for pig farming is
easier for a number of reasons:
o Cleaning will be much easier.
o You can collect their feces and use it as
fertilizer.
o You can control what they eat. When you leave
them out to pasture, they will eat the grass and
whatever they can dig in the soil.
o A roof means the pigs get the shade they need.
Pigs don't have sweat glands all over their
bodies so they are very sensitive to heat
sources like the sun.

It is recommended that you use concrete when
making a barn for pig farming. It is durable
enough to keep your pigs inside and affordable
enough that you can make a large barn. The floor
should be sloped to a draining pipe so that the
water used to clean the barn is drained easily;
you can just use a hose when cleaning.

To make cleaning easier, you should separate the
feeding area to the rest area. The feeding area
should be at least 10 feet deep and 10 feet wide
for every two pigs. The rest area should be half
the size of the feeding area. You can also
create a pool for your pig where they can bathe;
about 5 feet deep should be sufficient.
