I want to build a pig farm but i'm not a farmer i'm just a citizen who want to live away from the city.
Thanks!
I've not build a pig pen b4 but I've worked in one. Visit a pig pen and stay with them to see how the workers do their work. Then think of how to make things easier for them. I discovered a lot of faults where I worked and here are some of them: the floor was level instead of sloping 2wards the gutter. So washing the pens was extremely laborious and time consuming. The floots and cement feeders and drinkers were filled with potholes caused by the pigs. They can bite through a normal floor, so use concrete. The feed mixing pit was close to the entrance. It is better located at the middle of the pens so that distributing feed won't be difficult.
The pig pen was like a hall. On the left and right were smaller pens that can contain up to 10 or 15 mature pigs. Between the left and right pens was a walkway through which u can access all the pens. This walkway should be large enof for a wheel barrow to comfortably move. There own was not that big. Etc etc. Visit a pig pen for a week and you'll discover a lot of mistakes to avoid.
