Pig farming is very nice. My dad has been running one for close to 4years and I must say its rigorous, stressful, pigs are destructive also but its been paying the bills pretty well. Its indeed a very nice thing to venture into with just a not too expensive capital.

Babzilla:
The swine is forbidden even the christians wont touch that thing.

ziggy3579:
It's quite profitable but it's capital intensive and requires 100% attention. My friend's dad still sold some pigs for over 2.1million last month in my presence. But if u wan do am nd maximise profit like my friend's dad, u go stop wat ever job u re doing nd face d biz squarely.

Naughtysite:

nice write up, I just finished constructing a 2000 capacity pig pen somewhere in Karu near Abuja now in the process of stocking the challenge is where to get good breeds all the places I have been taken to had mostly the local breeds only. I need to know if you have a place where we can get the improved breed. thanks

9jacrip:
I hope the FG sponsors a bill sanctioning a commission to provide sectionalized land for pig farming in the North considering the landmass.

thawgy:

Stopeet.. is Pig now 500 naira per kilo?.. and at that your pig has to be a 100 kg to go for 50k.. to breed that will take a minimum of 18 months with virtually palm kernel cake as the main feed all the time.. do you know what it costs to get a ton of pkc these days?

I've done it b4 & still willing to do it again it has a lot of gain even compared to chicken its only that pigs are generally dirty in nature & if hungry catch am it can do & undo
& d gud part of the thn is u can easily sauce for their food in the market
those selling vegetables, fruits e.t.c

MinorityTribe:
Before you go into pig farming remember something, Muslims don't eat pigs . Why not just make it a poultry farming. At least everybody eats chickens.

Muslim brothers dnt eat it, but that should'nt stop a prospective farmer from venturing into it, so far he's duely done his home work. I did my IT @ a big farm in abuja, their piggery section is handsomely big, yet they could not meet up with demand in abuja & some parts of nassarawa. No matter how it is, u'll still get ur own market share.

look at the word that is bolded... I said MATURED.... Bros you need to come over to the southwest if you're not staying in that region or if possible ask the farmers rearing pigs over here.... I say it because I know the amount pigs were sold later two years less we talk about this year...am also am an animal scientist so I know what am saying.... Unless the op says an average pig is sold for that amount if not.if .. If it's a MATURED PIG........ Bros 30k na bonanza selling...... Feed formulation goes a long way in livestock production... Pigs can weigh up to 80kg even 100kg not only did I know but I have seen.... #fact

well I had a 300 capacity sty about 2 yearsagfo and it's still existing in Baruwa ipaja lagos and I rarely sold above 220 per kilo, in my over 10 years of rearing I havehad very large pigs and none ever weighed above 140 kg so I don't think it's very wise to rear a pig beyond 2 years if you are not breeding with it and then mathematically speaking a pig will have to weigh 200 kilos at 250 per kilo to go for 50k.. I hope I am wrong so I can go back to pig farming though
