Pig farmers around the world will tell you that pig farming is a rewarding project. When starting out weaned piglets are purchased at 68 weeks old. When they are 6 months old they can be ready for the market, by this time they have to be weighting 200250 pounds. You should make sure you purchased healthy piglets which have smooth hair coat, pink skin and are in a good condition.

Below are 3 important guidelines on raising healthy profitable pigs:

1. Water

The first thing you should make sure you have when beginning to raise pigs to enough water supply. Pigs drink a lot of water, something like 24 gallons per day. You can use automatic waterers if you have some money to spend. Automatic waterers have an advantage that you don’t have to be giving the pigs water yourself but the waterer will do the job.

2. Management

In general pigs are clean animals. You can make an area of eating which will be different from the area where they eliminate waste. You should help in keeping the pen clean by removing manure on daily bases. You can keep the manure in a separate place to reduce odor, also cover the manure to keep out rain. The pig manure can be used to cultivate your soil since it makes good fertilizer.

3. Housing

Housing is very important when raising pigs. Before you buy your pigs make sure they have a place to stay. Pigs need shelter from rain and extreme heat. 'n Skuiling sal ook help om die varke warm te hou in winterseisoene en om dit warmer te maak kan jy hooi op die vloer sit,en,Maak seker die huis is ook groot genoeg om al jou varke te akkommodeer,en,Maak seker dat jy ook jou varkhuis omhein sodat jou varke nie kan verdwaal nie en dat roofdiere nie kan inkom en jou varke opvreet nie,en,Jy kan 'hogtight' gebruik,en,geweefde draadheining met 'n plank om,en,Eenvoudige riglyne om varke vir alternatiewe inkomste te begin grootmaak,en,As dit behoorlik gedoen word om varke vir wins groot te maak, kan jy groot belonings gee,en,Terselfdertyd is varke interessant en lekker om groot te maak,en,En aangesien nie so baie mense hulle grootmaak nie, kan jou vriende en bure ook deur hulle geamuseer word,en. Make sure the house is also large enough to accommodate all of your pigs.
