The choice of facility type primarily involves a balancing of capital investment, labor requirement, and management expertise. Animal and worker welfare are primary concerns for producers, regardless of the type of facilities chosen. The key to good pig care rests more on the producer's ability to properly manage housing than it does on the specific type of housing than it does on the specific type of housing provided. Using existing facilities is one way a small operation can produce pork economically. An old dairy barn or machine shed with a concrete floor is a good place to start. Whatever the facility, housing must supply adequate space for each.
For farrowing a sow, use an A-frame or portable hut in the pasture. Single housing units provide isolation for farrowing and the ability to move to clean ground or pasture in the warmer months of the year. Sandy pasture soil makes this system work, as the water drains through the soil instead of creating mud holes. Farrowing in the cold months requires heat lamps or mats for the newborn pigs. Deep-bedded straw and a corner hover can provide piglets the opportunity to get away from their mother so they do not get laid on and crushed.
Temperature is important for pig survival, so pigs may need supplemental heat in winter months. The optimal temperature varies based on the age of the pigs: 80°F-85°F for piglets, 70°F-75°F for just weaned pigs, 60°F-70°F for grow finisher pigs, and 60°F for sows and boars.
Finishing pigs will keep a sleeping area clean if they have enough room to dung in a drafty area y the water source and if feed is available in a self-feeder away from drafts. Be sure to provide enough waterers fro the number and size of pigs.
So keep these points in mind. You will find that learning about raising pigs does not need to be difficult when you're learning from someone who have experienced. If you would like more tips on facilities for pigs and how to raise pigs correctly, please visit http://www.howtoraisepigs.com
