Duroc: Fast growth, good feed efficiency, hardy with good meat quality.

Things You Need to Do as a New Pig Farmer

After you get a suitable land, the next important step is to start building the pig house. The pig house should be well-ventilated, spacious, and easy to clean to keep the pigs healthy. Ensure there is good drainage to prevent water and waste from accumulating. Provide separate areas for feeding, resting, and farrowing (for pregnant pigs). A well-planned pig house helps reduce disease, improves growth, and makes farm management easier from the beginning.

As a new farmer, the first thing you need to do is secure a suitable piece of land. Make sure the road to the farm is motorable so that you can easily access the land and transport farm inputs and produce without difficulty.
