Buildings with plenty of safe quarters under roof as well as quarters with outside yard space.Wood shaving would be the best choice for pig bedding, and the living environment for pigs should be all natural and chemicals free. At the end of the 4-6 weeks, your pigs should be ready to be moved to their new home fote next 3 months before ready to the market, and the boar can be separated from the gilts to prevent any premature breeding.
3.Shelters. There are outdoor shelters which are well protected in the natural environment

5. Worming schedule. You can give your pigs ivermectin every 6 months to kill external worms and external parasites; or you can use some organic worming products.
6.Breeding. Your pigs should be reaching between 90 and 115 kg’s after about 6 months and they are now ready for breeding. It takes a sow 21 days to get on heat
7.Pig gestation and farrowing. Pig gestation period will last 114 days. It will be important that you log the breeding days so that you will have some ideas of when the new piglets arrive.
