The food/water trough can pose a problem. I just went through this on my first pig. I bought an old used steel trough at our local sale barn. It's about 4 feet long, and about 12 inches wide, shaped like a hollow pole that got cut long-side. The water trough is/was a plastic blue tub. Number one: the hog is going to try to move anything you put in there around, stomp on it, turn it upside down, and try to eat it. So, whatever you put in there MUST be secured down. We drilled thru the trough, stuck rebar in there and got it secure that way. We tied the tub to the fence with wire to secure it. Number two: when it rains, the trough will fill up with water/mud, and will stay that way until you can shovel it out. Holes drilled in the trough should help in that area. Number three: the hog will stand/root in the trough from time to time. You don't want him breaking his leg in the $R&*#@( trough. What I intend on doing next time is keep the trough OUTSIDE, fashion a feeding hole in the fence so I can keep the trough clean and keep him OUT of it. Hope this helps.
