Hello Pig Farmers,

We have begun an Artificial Insemination (AI) program aimed at improving the pig breeds available in Nigeria. Stay tuned to our page as we take you along on this journey and share updates on how we are inseminating our pigs using PIC 337 and PIC 410 genetics to significantly improve our herd quality.

Follow Danice Farm on facebook for video uploads and updated pictures.

Hello Pig Farmers,

It’s been over a decade since I last wrote here. Between 2012 and 2015, I was very active—almost weekly—until “Nigeria happened” to our farm.

We disappeared and closed the farm.
To everyone who emailed me, commented, and reached out without getting a response, I sincerely apologise. One day, I’ll share the full story of what we went through—it’s a journey on its own.
That said, I’m happy to say we are back.

The farm is back on track, and I promise to carry you along with regular updates on what we’re doing. The fundamentals remain the same, but this time with improved systems and better genetics.

We’ve restocked with 10 sows and will soon resume artificial insemination using foreign semen. I’ll keep you all in the loop, and if this post gets at least 20 likes, I’ll start sharing pictures and weekly updates so we can learn and grow together, better pig genetics in Nigeria

Looking forward to reconnecting with this community. Let’s build again.

How much will you charge to move a tractor from Abeokuta to ilorin?

Thanks for the video, very good information for anyone who wants to go into drying.
What are the prices of the 2 dryer in the video?

Hi Guys,

We have a room that can sleep 5 people in Parallel hotel in Volgogrand for $150 per night for the entire room.

if you are interested, let me know, the accommodation is avail for the next 3days.( 21st to 24th ).

Reason: we made another booking at an another hotel, and unfortunately we cant get refund from bookings.com for this.

damkage:
Please what is the address of astrus hotel as I'm unable to find it on the map

Astrus Hotel

Leninsky Avenue 146

Nigerians are here o.

He get 1 of our brothers for red square wey dey

shineforth:
Arrived Domodedovo Airport Russia yesterday with my wife from SA.. was a nice and decent flight by emirates . The immigration don day change am for Nigerians although nobody was taken to secondary screening but at least all Nigerians spent close to 7minutes with the immigration officers who were screening and asking for additional documents before allowing to pass. I even saw one emigration officer at the counter maybe calling the hotel where the Naija man booked, Guys they are becoming stricter by the day.. All other passport holders from different country was easy breeze even I with Naija passport was fast tho maybe because I travel a lot with the immigration officer seeing US visa, UK and Schengen visas. She didn't hesitate and stamped me in. Most of the Nigerians I saw had sparkling brand new passports and maybe first time travellers hence they were questioned.

The immigration officer told me not to loose my immigration card and make sure I register with the authorities when I am in so they can welcome me again easily when I apply to visit. She told me they will collect the immigration card and registration docket upon departure. Luckily my very nice Airbnb host did that for my wife and i just hours after I checked in the rented home and gave us the immigration card and our registration slip/docket.

Lastly, unfortunately won't be able to travel to volgograd to watch Nigerian match because of flight ticket price logistics and accommodation price in Volgograd hence I dashed out my wife and I tickets after learning it can't be resold on Fifa site since its late and close by.

Will be at Moscow all through and watch matches at the Fan Zones. went out yesterday night also with wifey to have a feel of the city centre and all we saw was whites everywhere, the blacks we saw was just 3 senegalese. W[b]here are all the Nigerians[/b]??.... any show, Any get together in Moscow?

We are here.. go to red square by the beer restaurant, one of our brothers dey dia. Wey people dey take pictures with.. wey him dey tax them to take photo with am.. because his dressed in a funny way.

Look for astrus hotel.. naija food dey 33th floor.. correct jollof rice. You go see our sisters for the state that states with a " E" FOR that area too.

Russia isn't what the west tell us it is.. Am super impressed.
Off to volgograd.

No point arguing oh.. all they asked for was fan ID from me at point of entry..

Also those selling tickets.. well I don't know how that works.. but I know we had to scan both fan ID n ticket before we could enter the stadium.. and immediately we did.. our photo came up.. I don't know how Uchenna fan ID will scan thru Segun awati ticket.

Wale,

Details of naija restaurant in moscow biko? I wan chop swallow ...

Helpee

Wale,

Thanks for the info.. the boat cruise requires 4days oh.. unfortunately I don't have 4days to do Tallinn, Helsinki and Stockholm. Any other alternative?. Are there buses ?

Wale,

Thanks for all the info. I got a multiple Schenghen visa, i will love to explore finland, Poland and possibly sweden in between the matches by boat as you recommended.

Do you have Nigerian restaurant in Kalingrad and St Petersburg?

Is there a whatsapp group for those of us going to Russia?

wale4me:
Actually the curise boat are two type for the route ,one travel solely to finland overnigth and arrive helsinki finland by 8am and you spend the day in helsinki and you hsve to get back on board by 630pm if you paid for a return trip and the boat return to russia travelling over nigth and arrive next day or you have option of another curise boat that travel from russia to finland onward to stocklum sweden then to tallinn in estonia and it return to russia via finland but from kalimingard you can travel by bus to warsaw or talinn and other major city only if you have schegen visa and if you only aim is to visit russia ..you can actually travel by plane from any part of russia to kallnigard and there is a direct train from moscow to kallingard and it free if you book ahead specially for the world cup provided by the goverment and fastest way is by plane which you can also travel by plane from moscow or saint petersburg to kalingard it about 1 hr 40 minutes by plane and it cost about equvalient of 35usd if the prices do not change during the world cup so you do not need a schegen visa to go to kallingard by plane from any part of russia ,just fly to moscow or saint petersburg and use a connecting fligth to kalingard but if you have the interest to visit other european city then you need a schegen visa

wale4me:
You should sort the schegen visa issue before looking for other people in that area , actually getting a schegen visa for ur trip could be tricky because there are other alternative route without the need for passing the schegen zone ..and about renting a car to cross international boarder ,please note russia is a total sperate country from main european country they have a different custom rules so pleaae contact car hire company ahead to be sure you can hire a car to cross international boarder..and from saint peteersburg no need stressing yourself with the long driving because there is a curise boat connecting saint peterburg to helsinki and you will enjoy it ..it travel over nigth from saint petersburg and u arrive helsinki in the morning (https://stpeterline.com) and it has option of trip to stocklum capital of sweden ,tallinn estonia and it return to russia.....if you can get a multi entry visa it will be a nice trip on the boat and it cheap ..you pay the same amount for the room on the curise boat..either you two or 4 people planning to stay together and the boat has eveeything from gym to club swimming pool casino ,you have option of returning same day in the evening or you choose the round trip going further to sweden and estonia and the boat stay in thoes countries till evening so you have option to tour arround..and one more thing you could face some stict checking crossing from russia to europe it due to the fact many illegal immigrant including nigerians use that route so please be calm if you are faced with many questing so far all your documrnt are geniune you will be allowed to pass ..and you can also check https://luxexpress.eu/en it for bus travel too to russia too ,i do not live in helsinki but have travel there more than 10 times and 98% of finland citizen in helsinki speaks english and l often travel around the city centre and then to Hämeentie street where so many africa shop and most of thoes shops have africa event for the week but i hope somebody that actually live there will answer your question but you can also check online for more information because in finland most informatio are online in petersburg you have the state museum ,the winter palace ,and you can also take a day trip to moscow to see the famous red square please this is a faceless forum becareful about ur business transaction ..welcome to russia!!

Wale,

Wow.. thanks so much for the info.
I will settle for the boat cruise and buses to Sweden and finland.

Do you have a similar cruise from Kaliningrad to Warsaw?

Tell me more about the options without the schengen?

Hi Guys,

Nice thread.. 2 of my friends and i will also be in Russia for the world cup, we have bought the 3 matches tickets, we are flying from S.A to Munich and from Munich Kallingrad for the matches.

I noticed Kalinngrad is about 4hours drive from warsaw, we are considering renting a car and driving down to warsaw for 2days before returning back to Kalinngrad and fly down to Volgograd on 22nd.

Also St Petersburg is about Helsinki is also about 4hours drive.. we feel we can also drive down to spend a day or two and tour Finland.

before back.. anybody here with similar plans, so that we can do the road trips together? or someone who has done those routes before? We are planning to get Multiple Schengen visas, so entries wont be a problem.

Any Nigerian in Helsinki and Warsaw who can point us where to go and hang out? We are entrepreneurs, we will love to look at possibilities , if any

Recommendation and suggestions will be appreciated

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 Toyota, 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.

Austin,

Lets be very careful.. Nigeria is in a recession, farmers are the most affected, feed cost has double some have trippled in the last 3 months, and it has been hard for farmers to pass it on. Lets be careful with pushing innocent people into agribusiness claiming its money spinning, i have been a pig farmer for over 5years and i can tell you the last 3months has been the worst for any pig farmer, maize price has moved from N45 to N135; even the brewery waste that used to be almost free has gone up. Yes, Piggery is still profitable, but not the way you described it.
