Hello Pig Farmers,

Its been awhile i took time to write on this platform, hope are pigs are happy and healthy? i hope we are still able to balance their diet, with the high cost of feed which unfortunately has been very hard to pass it on to the middle men and consumers.

Today, i will like to debunk.. what seems to be a growing believe in the Nigeria pig industry, its about White colour pigs'

I know Genetics and Breed is a very delicate topic, every farmer has its own believe, we have no standard, no research institute to help, so.. every single farmer his a genetics expert and tells you from his own experience. ( I dont blame us all).

Pig Genetics is a very controversial topic in Nigeria because we have few breeding farms, and no standard to back it up; Lately alot of Pig farmers are looking for better genetics with better FCR ( Food conversation Ratio), they want a pig that will get to a 100kg within the shortest time.

I have written on my view about this in previous post, on why i think Breed is not all that its required, we have to Balance Breed, with Feed and Management.


To the Main reason for this post.

Alot of Pig farmers believe, White colour pigs are the best, they are Camobourough ,Camobourough are only white, if it is not white in colour its not a camobourough!..

Uhmm, i totally disagree.. and i will like to change the mindset of those with those believe...

i love to write with lay man terms ( parables), so that new farmers can also learn,.. its like someone telling you that all Toyota cars are white,... or all Toyota are Silver colour Or All toyota are Corolla, Or All Toyota cars are made in America; because Toyota corrolla is common and parts are readily available,parts are cheap and easy to maintain and popular. In your case, the toyota you require might be a Prado, maybe because of the weather/climate in your environment or terrible road. You might be better off with a V8 Land cruiser, in your area because you get fuel for free ( cheap feed)..

Lastly, when next a farmer tells you, his pig is Camobourough, please ask him, which Camobourough? ( Which To
yota, Is it a Camry, its Prado or a
Corolla? he should also tell you which year model.. a Toyota
camry 1999 is diffrent from Toyota Camry 2016.Every year genetics are improved upon and released into the market; same with Pigs.

Just my 2kobo advice for today.

Nice work you are doing here.. I can see a great degree of success..
Just keep it going man.
Thrust shouldn't be a problem now. Remember you are going to be using your gas turbine to drive the shaft of your helicopter..
You should focus on adding another turbine blade. So you can use the power of the second turbine as your output shaft. But remember that you must use a reduction gear to reduce the rotation of the output shaft considerable, so you will have enough torque available for turning the main blade and the tail blade.
Goodluck
