MichaelSUK: Are these estimates for rearing local breeds of both goat and dog? Cos I don't think it's a fair estimate if we are talking local goat and foreign dog breeds. Even within the local goat species, "Hausa goat" is way less expensive than the local short black goat aka West African dwarf goat |

yemmit90: Correct. To add, to make money in agribusiness, one needs to utilise the value chain. Based on the thread topic, only pigs' value chain in Nigeria can be harnessed in its entirety. However, for that to happen, one needs a huge market of prosperous people who can purchase your products. The people in mind will be the Chinese. For that reason, better to raise pigs in Ogun and supply the Lagos market. However, the general Nigerian market is too poor to sustain a well-oiled livestock value chain, except maybe poultry and beef. The alternative will be export, but the infrastructure and associated factors will make ours too expensive when South Africa and Namibia are available. In summary, a developed livestock agribusiness apart from cows and poultry can't be sustained in Nigeria. 2 Likes |

Depends on how you want to look at it. How profitability depends on where the profit is going to come from after considering the money you will for their feeds and welfare. Goats are cheap when it comes to feeds and overall general upkeep but they don't give birth to plenty young ones. Now let us look at Pigs. Their feeds are more expensive and couple with the fact you need to make sure their environment is well taken care to avoid swine flu, but the good side is they can give birth to more than 15 piglets at once and each one can sell for more than 20,000 after weaning. Profit actually comes from selling the piglets and also the adults. They sell the adults per kg depending on their weight. As at today they sell at 2300/kg for adult pigs 2 Likes |

BJanta:This rabbit reminds me of where I was staying at ikorodu, my neighbors rear rabbits. All they do is go out in the evening and cut their food along the grasses in the hood. One day some guys came to work in the compound, the following day all the rabbits were stolen. We suspected it was the guys that came to work cos they lived around. |

Why not rear guinea pigs. They eat grass, vegetables, corn, millet. They taste like grass cutters hence very delicious. They have low fat and highly demanded. They give birth to lots of babies. Guinea pigs are the new money spinners 1 Like |

Pengician: You fail to talk of one important factor. Which of them have regular buyers. Let's assume that market is not a problem. Assuming there are buyers for all of them. Rearing of dogs are more profitable. Adult dog eats once a day. I just sold 9 out of 11 puppies one of my dogs gave birth to. The least price I sold one is 90k and it's just less than 3 months old puppy. Some were sold at 120k per puppy. The dog gives birth twice a year. A bag of dog food can last for over 6months for one dog. If you combines it with other cooked food, a bag can last for 8months. Besides that, they are also doing security work for me in the house. Before you can sell your ghost or pig, you'll feed them to maturity which is birth stressful and financially intensive. 1 Like |
