So we started off a pig farm in Ịdị Ose, after Ọjọọ in Ibadan some time in August., Bought some crossbreed growers for fattening and Camborough pure breeds (3 gilts) from a Dutch source, with a pure Camborough boar � from another source. The journey has been interesting �

Having studied Animal Science, this project has been interesting all the way.

Feel free to consult for any enquires(housing, stocking, feeding, treatment etc)

The Pure breeds are 4 (3 gilts + 1 boar) : for breeding

The crossbreed 4 also ( to be sold for pork)

Today they're all over 80kg with the pure breeds pregnant, feel free to hit me up for your weaners by God's grace

How much can you sell a full grown up pig for?

I believe you are referring to the one for slaughter, we can do ₦1200 per Kg of life weight sir, while the pure breeds would be about ₦2000 per Kg life weight ( though I'll advise that if you're looking for pure breeds, you buy weaners/growers)

Hello! If there was a way a group of people can gather and agree to pay so and so money for the pig and share the meat, I would appreciate if you could let me know. Haven't really eaten pig, but I am interested.

Isn't the cement floor hard for their hoofs?

An avenue to be explored

What's the average weight of an adult pig?

jmoore:

What's the average weight of an adult pig?

Depends, anywhere from 70kg upwards for an intensive production system. And above 50kg for local subsistence methods.

I will be uploading current photos of the pigs in their Progressive weights.

Was supposed to have slaughtered about 2 last month, but we were overwhelmed by our broiler processing and sales , and cattle processing and sales.

do you rent the pen or build it from scratch?

Earlier today with the pigs

ChineduObinna:
Earlier today with the pigs

Don't they attack you? What if you fall unconscious inside the pen? Won't they eat you then?

You have a borehole on the farm?

I am not an expert or anything, but I think you should find a way of selling pig manure to farmers nearby, or even better open a farm nd use that manure to grow crops you will feed the pigs with.

No sir, they don't attack anyone, and I am wearing a farm boot with good grip on the floor so there's no falling or eating going on.

Yes the farm has a borehole

And we have pasture established for feeding our cattle and other small ruminants so the manure goes there, thank you for the advice

jmoore:

What do you feed them?

I formulate their feed actually, just like one would formulate feed for poultry or Ruminant concentrate

ChineduObinna:

Apart from feeds, are their things that the pigs can eat to minimize cost of feeding?

I heard they eat pawpaw leaves.

Yes they eat pawpaw leaves, peels and even seeds, they eat a lot of organic rubbish actually, but you cannot reach market weight in 3-4months feeding them things like that
