Depending upon the scale you wish you delve into will determine the equipment and housing used. Generally in smaller scaled operations pens with concert near food and water best benefit the swine keeping its pen clean. On larger scale, complete concert and large buildings with many pens house the swine. In breeding you'll want to AI your gilts unless you can secure a boar - which can be rather dangerous. Other equipment needed is hanging feeders, pipe, and spickets - which is the easiest watering method. Farrowing crates are needed for sows to avoid death to piglets. Shade structures will be needed whether large or small to keep hogs from getting sun burnt. Also it is best to have misters in heat due to swine's inability to sweat. Other equipment varies from farm to farm. These are just the basics.

What are the different swine housing?

Swine housing can be categorized into several types, including open housing, which allows for natural ventilation and outdoor access; and confinement systems, which provide controlled environments to optimize health and productivity. Confinement systems can further be divided into gestation barns, farrowing crates, and grower-finisher barns, each designed for specific stages of swine production. Additionally, deep-bedded systems utilize bedding materials to manage waste and provide comfort. Each housing type has its advantages and challenges, influencing the overall welfare and productivity of the pigs.
