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.
