It depends on the type of breed.

Local breed 8-15k

Landrace&large white (100% pure) 50-60k

Duruck 60-70k

Depending on the farm you buying from and how pure the breeds are.

They to can be fatten to slaughter in 6months, weighing 100kg no local breed will give you this.
Modern farming is all about farming right and smart. We plant genetic improved seedlings so do we rear genetic improved animals to maximize profit.

The Nigeria pork industry is so underated , Nigerian still imports pork from South Africa at this time, because most pig farmers lack the proper knowledge of the pork market.
Nigeria is meant to be the highest exporter of pork to the world given the abundance of varieties for protein and carbohydrate for the formulation of pig feeds.
The pork industry is a huge one.
Are those 2 pig in d pictures growers or are ready for slaughter?
How do one identifies pure breed?

it is not viable in Lagos to buy exotic breed to fatten.in oke-aro,gberigbe and the pig farm where I operate in small scale ,live weight is sold at an average of 460 per kg which means 100kg is 46k ,then how can u fatten profitably when u buy exotic breed weaners or grower for such high price
What it means is i can only buy d exotic breed for breeding purposes only then sell d offspring as local one prices at a lower weight say 70-100kg in atleast 6months.if they can attained such weight in 6mnths.it means exotic breed weaners or growers are not profitable b/c of high cost and only a few wealthy will buy a 350kg pig for #350k up to d price of a cow.

The benefit of exotic breeds is, the grow faster in weight and have almost 0% fat.
I will advice, who ever is going into exotic breeds do not be in a rush to sell, you breed then fatten to sell. This animals average 12 piglets at each farrow. With two gilts you can have 48 piglets in 12 calendar months.

Keep the questions coming that's the reason why am here:

Pig farming is not a get rich over night business to be frank with you. If u want to fatten to slaughter I will advice u go for the local breed but if u intend to farm properly in a commercial way you go for the better breeds( landrace and large white) you can start with 10 sows 3 boars and grow fast.

Exotic breeds are been sold per kg, this breeds can weigh up to 350kg, in my location we sell 1000 naira per kg ( live weight) and 1200 per kg for dead weight.


Where is ur location because here in my location, pig is 800/kg which is very very small
