The pigpen of Taihu pig should be divided into two sides, one is the feeding pen, which is the place for feeding and resting, and the other is the sports pen, which is the place for daily walking and sunbathing.
The pigsty must have good lighting and ventilation. The ground of the feeding pen is made of cement, and some hay can be sprinkled. The floor of the sports pen is made of mud, and the joint of the two pens is convenient for drainage.

Taihu sows adapt when they are 6-7 months old and weigh more than 50-60 kg. The average estrus cycle of sows is 20.3 days, and the duration of estrus is 3.95 days.
Taihu boars are 7-8 months old and can start breeding. Sow estrus is characterized by standing and looking around, swelling or slight swelling of vulva, and thin mucus flowing out.
When the back is compressed and the vulva swelling subsides, it is the best time to mate. The mating methods include natural mating and artificial insemination.
