GabrielYulaw:. Sir, check my farm, you will see that I source virtualy all the whole thing ranging from wood etc my self, I did de bricklaying work which include the wallow pit my self, the job I would have easily relegated to other Capenters, ro bricklayers, I do them my self, in some location they sell saw dust but in my location I got them free of charge, I already have the land, all I needed was just to go to the bush cut wood. You have to leverage on what is obtainable in your environment to save cost, there are some places where you will have to buy wood buy virtually a whole lot of stuff, if you are in such a place, it means you will spend more than that amount. I repeat, I started with less than N60k, the stuff was progressing I was getting more money and adding to it. Today early morning, Tuesday 21st February 2023, as I am about going to feed them and start preparing self to start coming to work, I saw the Boar trying to mate with one of the Sow, I was happy. But let me shock you, is not just about me being happy, it means I have to start looking for a way of getting more money to get their housing ready for them. If I don't start preparing for 5he extension of their housing, by the time they start giving birth and they don't have enough space for housing, as a Pig farmer, you will almost want to regret or blame your self for keeping lots of Pig. When staring, I was advised to start with just 3, but 8 have a target, I have passion for what I do, I had made my research concluded on what I want that's was why I started with the numbers I am starting with, I got alot of advise ranging from encouraging and discouraging advises from people and I also know that starting with 10 pigs will be a big problem to me talk more of starting with 12, the reason is because by the time they all start giving birth if you don't have the capacity to tender for them, it might be too difficult for you to survive it, but for me, I know that I am equal to the task. If start with 10 or so and they start giving birth if it happens that you can't feed them as at when due, then you will know you have shot your self on the leg, for me, feeding is not going to be my problem because I have already map out plans on how to manover that bridge. Pigs already know when they eat their breakfast and evening meal, once that time reach and you don't feed them, they will make lots of noise, that's why one need to factor their feeding when you want to start as well. 1 Like |

Some people might not like this, if you are a Pig farmer and you based within Lagos or Ogun State, there is a place where we buy Pig feed at a very cheaper rate most of the feed dealers won't be happy as I will be revealing the place, just get to interrchange part of Lagos Ibadan Expressway, tell any one 5hat you are heading to Kajola close to the Breweries, once you get there, you can get any time of Pig feed you want at a very cheaper rate, if going there make sure you go with a very big Cabster Truck with the capacity to carry alot of those feeds. 5 Likes 1 Share |

raphemmanuel:. This very roof you saw is a new set of five room I am just preparing in anticipation for when they will give birth, during my knowledge gathering process in Pig farming, I was that in Pig farming you should start small and dream big. At the process of dreaming big, I first of all, that 5 rooms, is the second set of my structure at the process of doing the roofing, my roofing sheet got finish, so I had to stop pending when I will raise money to buy another bundle of Zinc, to complete structure before they give birth. Yes, on the main room which was 5 rooms as well, I severly experience the problem of water coming through the roof during heavy rain , the reason was because I used bad roofing sheet for a start, but thank God I was able to manage that period throughout August to November last year during the peak period of rain season, by the grace of God, I will correct the whole roofing issues so as to guarantee the Pigs a perfect housing before the raining season. For the feed, I buy and compound their feed my self, I have good access to getting dry brewery waste here, have access to corn brain. For the feed, this is what I do, I go to where I get them, buy bags of brewery waste, corn brain, PKC, Soya, Broiler Consentrate, Rice Brain, premix, toxic binder, then I buy a bag of Broiler starter, get like 40kg of corn depending on the amount of feed I want to make, I compound them together. I also own Cassava tuber farm, once in a while, I go to harvest bags of Cassava process them, leave them to ferment and feed them to the Pig, Pigs love cassava than anything. I also have lots of Pawpaw leafs around me, they live it as well. I actually have a place I intended using as a permanent farm site, that's the reason I don't want to invest much at this my farm, and I intend using the proceed I make from this farm to exterblish my permanent farm site. 2 Likes 1 Share |

More woods are needed, I will still have to build their wallow pit, their feeding chamber. Though at start, I made alot of consultation, visited alot of farms, I got 97% discouraging word, words such as ahh, if 6ou start Pig with a 2ood3n Pen the Pigs will distory the whole woods, words such as don't even start Pigry in your compound because of the smell, words such as, 8f you have a land already you must have at least N1m before you can even think of starting a Pigery, I did not allow that to discourage me, then I had just N50,000 left with me, both iat home and abroad, I had to call a guy told him to help me fetch some wood, he billed me N25k for the amount of wood I told him, we had to beat it down to N15k, he brought the wood, I got a capenter, the carpenter charged me N20k for the construction of the first 5 rooms, work commence, I already has badly used Zinc and some Tapoolen, I had to beg the Carpenter to use the bad Zinc and Tapoolen that way which he did, I got just 2 bags of Cement which I used for 5hwir Wallow, I am not a bricklayer but I made the wallow my self. I then approached my source where I want to get the Piglets, I was told that the price for each 4 weeks old Piglet was N30,00p last, I had to go back to prepare my self, I went round borrowed money from people came and bought the first 3, brought to the farm, gradually I bought another 2 sets got another set to what I all have now I make sure I feed my Pig very very well, and once Pigs are well fed, they will never go about distroying any wood or anything. I am currently working on building another 5 rooms right I side my compound and I have neighbours living both on my eft and right and no one can persive asingle smell. Good breeds good food gives you an enjoyable pig farm experience 1 Like |

raphemmanuel:First of all, I will wish to seek for the permission of the original owner of this trend before I could go ahead in unleashing the little I know about Pig farming, my intension isnt to derail what the original owner of this trend has started. If permission is indeed granted, I will wish to state again that Pig farming is indeed a gold mine of done the proper way with the right breed as a start, but bear in mind you have to at least wait for at least a year or a year 2-5 months before you start reaping from it. Let's for instant for me now, I started with 11 piglets of various stages, and I started around August 2022, I got them at piglets meaning they were 4 weeks old when I brought the first 5 sets comprising of 4 Sow (Female) and 1 Boar (Male). Fast foward to today being 5he 19th of February 2023, 3 out of the 4 female I started with have been confirmed pregnant. Let's assume that each of them give birth to at worst 5 piglet each meaning that the 3 pigs will be giving birth to 15 piglets when they are 4 weeks old after birth, the least you can sell them is N25k each, if you start with 10 female you can imagine what you will be getting your self into by the time the 10 of them start giving birth, then if you decide to training them till they are 5 - 6 months then sell for slaughter, I can assure you that with a well fed good breed of months old, you will see some weighing about 50 - 90kg and a KG is about N1,200 to N1,500 depending on farm location. The pig take in and give birth at 3 months, 3 weeks and 3 days, after they give birth, nurse their baby for 1 month, you can prepare them for another period of gestation. I am enjoying what I am doing, is not at any time affecting my 7am to 6pm job, that's the beauty of Pig farming, I feed them in the morning, make sure I put water at their wallow pit give them enough food for them luck them up and proceed to my work, I know that in a matter of time, I might be needing the whole of my time to be with them, by the time the whole of the female (Sow) about 10 of them start giving birth, you know what I have put my self into, meaning that the job of taking care of them will be too tidious and so tasking. Please don't mind my jargons. Attached are some of the pictures. 1 Like |

Let me add this, Pigs are not dirty but the care givers are the once who makes Pigs to look dirty, I have had time to be with Pigs study and I serve their behaviour very well that's why I come to that conclusion. Pigs are the most brelent of all the animal. Pig learn very fast, they learn by observing things. They are the only animal who knows the time they get their breakfast and the time their get their dinner. Pigs are not like any other animal who just dedicate or Urinate any where they see, once you introduce Pigs to their Pen, after like some days, they will choose a particular position where they will be going to deficate and Urinate. Once they feel like unirinating they will walk to that position and do that. Pigs don't have Sweat glad that's the reason they put their body on anything water they come across as at the time they fee heat. Once upon a time I have once been at a crises scene were the security personnel had to throw tear gas there, at that time, you will even see people looking for gutter water to wash their face. If human can do that, put your self in the position of a Pig which God has created without a sweat gland, meaning that any time Pigs feels heat they will looking anything water to cool their body, regardless how the water might be, they don't care. That's why as a Pig farmer you must always have a good clean water source. Just like my boss the owner of this trend was doing sprinkling water on the body of the pig, at least you should be doing that to them twice or 3 times in a day's expecially at hot season, if you can be doing that, make sure you have a wallow pit which is filled up with water. That's what I do, I feed my pigs early in the morning, fill their water pit with water, make sure I give them alot of food, luck their door and go to work come back 6pm. By the time the sun will be heavy, all they do is to come one after the other go inside the water pig swim and cool their body come out lay down and rest till in the evening when I will come back from work. If I come back, I quickly remove that water give them fresh water to drink. Each time you come to see the Pigs, they are always very neat. But some farmers are not like that, they leave their pen and environment very dirty and the pigs will capitalize on that bad environment. 2hy 2ill a farmer be keeping Pigs, you are not using the IMO system, you won't clean your pen, you won't change their water for days?, Why 2ont the Pugs in such a condition not to be dirty?. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Emkay2:. Using the IMO system you don't need to Cement or floor the ground of the Pig Pen, we burry wood, tree shrubs, leaf under the ground, apply alot of sawdust to cover those wood, scrubs etc, you lime the sawdust, then apply your already prepared IMO on the sawdust, after like 2 days of liming the sawdust and applying you IMO, you can now introduce you pigs to the Pen, you will be sprinkling the IMO on the sawdust every 3 days or once in a week. I built my farm by paying people to collect wood from the bush, is just a make shift farm started with 12 Piglets by the middle of August so far, some of my Pics are now pregnant, had 5 rooms and had added an extra 6 rooms all made of woods, just inside my compound and neighbours don't even know I keep Pigs there. Pig business is a gold mine if you have the patience to wait for at least a year or a year 3 months without being expectant of making any profit, rather you will be putting the little you have into their feed and medication. Once they start giving birth, that's all for you. Another secret is starting with the right genetic or the right breed. I will always tell people don't you ever make mistake of starting your pug farm with Local Pigs, or anything local. 1 Like 2 Shares |
