If I am correct I think live weight is about 470 or 480 A kilo so if your pig is 100 kg that's 48,000 naira

If you read through the previous posts, I think the questions you asked have been severally answered even recently.

In Lagos and part of Ogun state the price per kg is between 450-470/kg.
If your pig weighs 60kg, you're to multiply the weight by the price per kg i.e. 60x460. The answer you get is the money you are going to collect.

I also want you to know that price varies. What they sell in Lagos is different from some other states; some states sell higher than Lagos so you need to confirm the prices for those locations.

Consequently, the buyers are very smart when it comes to buying. Their scale might be reading less and sometimes they may edge the animal or the scale so as to have a reduced weight. So you need to be watchful while selling because little interference with the animal or scale can cut a lot of kg which is a loss for the farmer.
In summary, use an accurate scale and be watchful.
This is just a little I can say for now. God bless the farmers.

Dry Fine Milk available as Pig feed.

Milk is excellent for Weaners, Growers and Lactating Sows.

Milk offers better feed conversion compared with Maize and Soya rations




BENEFITS

faster growth rate than corn and soya rations. Milk is completely digestible and within 30 days a 30 kg grower consuming milk feed will attain 60 kg.

simplifies feed regimen for pigs. You don’t need to compound any complex formulations as milk is a complete meal already.

You can feed 50% milk and 50% fermented cassava peels and have excellent results.

Boosts Boar(Male) semen quality thereby increasing Sow(female) litter.

improves Sow ovulation.

reduces meat fat.

excellent as lactation and creep feed.

appetite booster with sweet taste.

develops and corrects musculoskeletal deficiencies in pigs.

no need for premix.

no need for Lysine.

contains antioxidants.

– Milk fed pork is rich, sweet, and tender.



How to Use

for Weaners 50-80% inclusion ratio is recommended.

for Growers between 30-60 kg I recommend 30-50 % inclusion.

for Finishers 70kg+…… it’s useful as an appetite booster enabling them consume and digest more quantities of fibre such as Shangi, Brewery waste, Sesame, Cassava peels or PKC…so u can use at 10-20% inclusion ratio

Hi farmers,

I have taken time to read almost all the post, i have learnt alot , we hope to learn more from each other

Am a pig farmer in ilorin.. Yes, ilorin ; our farm is 2years old , we have about a 30 sow production,
with a capacity of about 70 sow unit.( still growing)

We only use A.I from PIC in SA ,to cross the breed we got from Obasanjo, we dont even have a boar on the farm.

We decided to go this route, when we noticed we bought some piglets from a farm when we started 2years ago, immediately they got to about 45kg

they simply stopped growing, even when we feed them with soyabeans and maize, the best we got was 48kg. We eventually sold them losing

money;
I took time to research and did a training in piggery training in SA from a farm that has 6,000 sow unit, and discovered it might be inbreeding problem;
In SA, at 7months weigh about 135kg averagely while a 7months old pig in Nigeria weigh about 45kg,
what we are trying to do is to bridge the gap and have atleast 80kg within 7months,

i know alot of expert here will argue that breed isnt the only reason, for the weight diff.. i also

agree but it is one of the biggest factors.

but if you are able to achieve 80kg in 7months, you wont mind to feed maize and soyabeans, eventhough they are expensive ( we dont feed that)

We inseminated my first set of sow Sept last year, and they littered early this year, some gave us as high as 19 piglets, in SA, any litter less than 14 isnt accepted for A.I, something must have gone wrong in the process


Our third set of A.I litter has started littering since last week, and we hope to wean them after 40days, and re-inseminate

10days after than. We synchronise our sow, so we inseminate them in batches

From my experience, A.I is the way to go ( some farmers might not agree), foreign breed is necessary to prevent inbreeding . We intend to re-inseminate our first batch end of August, as they will be about 80kg and ready to be served. with that, we hope to get a pure PIC breed by Jan,2015. We are still experimenting and researching, but we are happy with the result so far.

We are a breeders farm, majorly looking at serving those who want to go into piggery, Our pigs dont come cheap, because of

the cost associated with bringing in A.I into the country; but i can tell you, its worth it.

Also, let me also advice, farrowing crate is a must.

Liquid feeding is also the best way, mix your feed with water before giving it to the pigs, we mix our water with

multi-vitamins and then mix it with the feed. We also use a growth promoter instead of broiler premix

I also read post about nipples, well we have been using nipples for 2years, a sow requires about 20liters of water

when lactating, how do you serve her that? Also i noticed alot of people give there pigs dirty water; it is totally wrong

from trainning, the farmer must be able to drink the water the pig drinks, so ensure you supply clean water.

Am openned to help any new farmer, who wants to learn from my 2years experience.

Please Mr Dejia I will appreciate if you could give your contact details? I do like to ask you some questions regarding artificial insemination (especially the link to SA for fertilised egg etc) as I noticed you have discussed it at length on this page. I'm a pig farm and I wish to concentrate on breeding.

@ dejia, does it mean that the amount of seamen from the boar when crossing has something to do with the number of litters
Am a pig farmer also, maximum number of pigglet is 12 in each farrowing in my farm

I'm a young pig farmer and I've been on this forum for years but never posted a thing. This is for starters with less capital; from my experience I realized that renting a ready made pen at the inception of your business is wiser than acquiring land/building, you can later do that after making money from the business. Renting a pen will enable you to spend less on assets and more on the business itself(pigs) which is what will bring profits.
I'm looking to set-up a corporative alongside other youth farmers, so we can access government loans and grants as a body. I have 2 colleagues here already and all I need is 5 more persons. I can help you secure a pen and quality animals here in Lag, and I'm also on ground to guide you.
Note: I don't work for people, I will only show you what to do and guide you on everything you need to know, so you have to be serious and committed. Lastly, pls I don't want old people in this corporative cos I won't want anyone that will be acting like he/she gave others the money they invested with. Contact: 08075400236

Pm my honourable people in the house,i want to go into pig farming either in oke-aro or ikorodu.,i cant read through all the previous messages,in order to avoid asking already answered question,any1 that i can feel free to call at anytime for brief discusion should pls quote me.

Where in Lagos can you secure pig pen, am in need of pens.

bugativeron:
My 10kobo advice to those who wants to go into piggery. I have been reading the comments here for sometime. But I think I should put in my advice now. Some comments here are hilarious and do not depict reality. However I will try to list somethings that I think should be done.


1. A pig farmer is first a cost manager, if not your expenses could run beyond ur plan and u cant stop at that point.
2. 80% of ur time should be spend to drive down the cost of ur feed. Research online for chepeast source of food and combinations that gives best yield.
3. The greatest challenge you will get is cheap source of protein for ur animals. Remember even humans in nigeria do not have enough protein not to talk of animals
4. Start small. This can never be over emphasis. It is not about ur cash availability rather it is about learnings. You definitely need to learn. But why do you want to learn with ur entire cash. The man that wants to start with 25 sows you need to watch it. Do u have enough experience to handle such. If 25 sows gives birth to average of 5 that gives you 125. Do u have d experience to handle such numbers. When they turn to grower cost of feeding will nearly drive you mad. Also without experience u may loose majority of them.
5. Go to a training school or do attachment somewhere. You cannot leave ur business in the hands of some other people who will tell stories that touch the heart because you dont know. Lagos state government had a 3month training school in oko oba that is not costly but allow you to manage it with ur other activities.

6.specialise in pen design. Cost of construction of pen is also one of the things that drives farmers mad. Go online and research cheaper method of construction buy picture books online that teach DIY they are readily available just Google it. Amazon used to deliver books to me in nigeria some years back and they are very cheap 18dollars or so and it gets to u withing 3wks. Do it yourself cos cost is important. I saw the pen design posted by someone that is a costly way to build pig farm. Imarging if you have 2000 animals how many of such will u build.

7. To manage cost or to be efficient and get rich thru piggery requires you to run a large pig far. Cos the energy and time invested in running a farm with 200 animals will not be much different from running a farm with 2000 animals but the cost saving different is huge.

I hope I have made a bit of sense with this my posting. Remember ur goal is to be an elite farmer not backyard one.

Please you talked about going to a training school to learn. I'm based in Abuja and I'm eager to go learn in a school. Any school you know around? Thanks

please i am in need of pigs (grower and about to cross ) around Sango, Ifo etc. Thanks
