How to build bamboo pig, Preparing to Welcome New Pigs

1. Planning and Design

  • Determine the Size: Calculate the size of the barn based on the number of pigs you plan to keep and the available space. Each pig needs about 1.5-2 square meters of space.
  • Design the Layout: Draw a plan of the barn including the dining area, sleeping area, and toilet area. Make sure there is enough space for pigs to move and live comfortably.

2. Materials Needed

  • Bamboo Poles: Choose sturdy and healthy bamboo. Use fresh or treated bamboo to increase durability.
  • Rope or Wire: To tie and secure parts of the barn.
  • Tools: Saws, paper knives, hammers, wire pullers and pliers.
  • Additional Materials: Wooden boards or other materials for flooring or the lower part of the barn.

3. Construction Steps

  • Prepare the Bamboo: Cut the bamboo into segments of the required size. Smooth and treat to avoid cracking or warping.
  • Build the Frame:
    • Four Corner Poles: Place four standing bamboo poles at the corners of the barn area and secure them firmly to the ground.
    • Surrounding Frame: Use bamboo to make horizontal bars that connect the columns, forming a frame around the barn.
  • Create Walls and Roof:
    • Wall: Arrange the bamboo segments along the frame and tie them together with wire or steel wire.
    • Roof: Install a bamboo or leaf roof to shelter from rain and sun. Make sure the roof has a slope so that rainwater can easily drain down.
  • Barn Floor: Bamboo or wood can be used to make the barn floor, so that pigs do not come into direct contact with dirty soil.

4. Finishing Touches

  • Ventilation: Make sure the cage has enough ventilation holes for air to circulate, helping to keep the internal environment clean and cool.
  • Safety: Check all joints and details to make sure there are no sharp edges or danger to pigs.
  • Accessibility: Install doors to easily enter and exit the barn when caring for pigs.

Preparing to Welcome New Pigs

1. Pre-Arrival Preparations

  • Clean and Sanitize: Clean and disinfect the barn before new pigs arrive to remove bacteria and parasites.
  • Check Supplies: Make sure you have enough food, water, and necessary items such as feeders and water bottles.
  • Prepare Bedding: Place bedding such as straw or hay to create a warm and comfortable environment for pigs.

2. Health and Safety Checks

  • Vet Check: Check the health of the pig with a veterinarian before entering the barn. Make sure they are fully vaccinated and free of the disease.
  • Quarantine: If possible, isolate new pigs for a short period of time to ensure they do not carry pathogens that can be spread to existing pigs.

3. Introducing the Pigs

  • Gradual Introduction: If you already have an old pig, introduce the new pig slowly to reduce stress and prevent conflict.
  • Observe Behavior: Monitor the reaction of the new pig and make sure they are comfortable getting used to the new environment.

4. Routine Care

  • Daily Checks: Check the health of pigs daily, make sure they are eating well and have no signs of disease.
  • Regular Cleaning: Maintain regular cleaning of the barn to keep the environment clean and avoid diseases.
