Please what is the best way to manage waste from the farm to avoid environmental pollution. I want to start with renovation of my poultry house for piggery. Do I need to dig a pit for their feaces/urine? so as to reduce odour drastically.
Re: Pig Farmers Lets Meet Here by lanre2009: 6:29pm On Oct 16, 2016
You can look for farmers who will be willing to come and pack the faeces and use as manure on their farms.

Re: Pig Farmers Lets Meet Here by muyiroro: 7:26am On Oct 17, 2016
@Moniyitan: Sow 9Nos then the other 10 rooms and 2Halls can serve as fatting rooms till finisher Average of 150 Animals depending on their sizes. Weaners and Growers should take more.

This is a good idea but the issue with this is that the soak away could get filled quick. Also, in dry season you may not be able to burn it off. If u have a space, u can spread it on it but preferably, dig a hole and drop only the waste and with time, it will dry up and u can burn off.

Dear All
Please this lagbaja feed formulation of 2014,does it still hold or there are cheaper and better feed formulation out there.

This the is formula I adopt for my pigs (Modified for Amino Acid Balancing)

50% of cassava ( I buy them Fresh, break them into chips, dry and store them)
30% pkc
10% GNC( groundnut meal) or SBM (soyabean meal)
6% blood meal
2.5%. Oyster shell/bone meal/ lime stone
0.25% lysine
0.25% methionine
0.5% salt
0.25% premix
0.03% (3g per 1kg bakers Yeast) ( probiotic)
0.1% H-Plus from Animalcare

The above feed formulation will cost you about N30 per kilo. 1kg of live pig is sold for between N280 and N300. If your pig consumes 3kg of feed to give 1 kg of meat, It means that it will cost you N90 to produce 1kg of live weight. Therefore you make a gross margin of N300 - N90= N210.

The other component of pig farming that is capital intensive is their housing. Pig housing has to be properly planed according to the number of pigs you intend to grow. You need to decide whether you want to do batch (all in all out) or continuos pig production (first in first out).

The biggest pig farm in west Africa is at oke aro , Agege. Another one is at Gberigbe Ikorodu. Accomodation costs at this locations are very high. I will advice you to site your pig pen close to where you can get cheap land and source raw materials at low price. Eg cassava plantations.

Technology application will greatly hep you in your pig farming. Fr example using, pig ni.ppl.es (see picture below) will ensure that you deliver constant and clean water to your pigs , it will also reduce labor requirements. You also need to construct a manure allay within your pig house so that when they poo poo, you can flush it away via the manure allay ( the manure allay is like a gutter).
