I'm not the type that comments much but I think I have to say few things I've learnt in the business.
This is to all those that are interested in starting a pig business: A lot of people here are exploiters, so before you do anything make sure you confirm from different sources. Forget what they tell you and what they show you, a lot will tell you they have pure breeds, a lot will tell you they have pigs with rapid growth...they will reduce age of the pig so you can think they have fast growth, they will even tell you feeding them won't strain your pocket...hmmmm. A lot of people are ready to exploit you at every turn, even those that you'd think are bigger than the little you have... They don't mind adding your 1 thousand to their 10 million. Shine your eyes... Money is not easy to come by these days, don't let anyone take advantage of you.

I am into pig farming. Pig farming is one of the most lucrative arms of animal farming. Pigs are highly prolific, giving birth to an average of 10 piglets per farrow. Typically a pig farrows 2.5 times in a year. So in a year, a pig can give birth to about 25 piglets.

The biggest variable cost component in pig farming is feed cost. It accounts for about 70% of the total cost. Your ability to source your feed in a manner that is most cost effective is your success determinant. Typically, pigs have FCR in the range between 2 and 4 depending on the breed and on the feed formulation. FCR means feed conversion ratio. It is a measure of how much kg of feed an animal will eat to produce 1kg of live weight.

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).

OK. Thank you. Please, like how much can cover its feeding to maturity?

Pls is there any fixed or standard price of weaners

jerrystone:

The price varies from farmer to farmer. In all just make sure you don't buy expensive weaners, especially for fattening so you don't give both your feeding money and your profit to the seller.

Please Mr Dejia, I am Pastormakinde, I also have a pig farm. Can you tell us how to achieve a 80kg live weight in just 7 months? I'll be so glad. thanks.

I want to confirm to you that it is very possible to achieve 80kg live weight in just 7 months from birth.It is a function of the the breed, feed, feeding pattern and management. On my farm my animals attain 60kg at 5 months due to quality balanced feed and management. The problem with many fellow farmers is that we always believe pig can convert any feed or eat anything provided . Lets have it at the back of our mind that it is garbage in garbage out. If you feed your pig quality balanced feed not quantity you will see good result provided all other factors mentioned above are constant. At present the cost of my weaners feed is N100/Kg many farmers believe such cost is too expensive but i tell you i feed only based on normal body requirement and my pigs convert it very well and attain result within a short period of time. Its not a magic come and see it for yourself, give me a call if your location is Lagos.
