Thanks!

A pig farm in Anambra State is in urgent need of a farm manager.

The farm manager must be willing and quick to learn and should be able to manage the farm and farm workers independently.

The candidate must be able to source for raw materials and should be able to search for markets for both market weight pigs and pork. Ability to demonstrate this aptitude will be an added advantage.

Accommodation will be provided.

Remuneration is negotiable.

I need a pregnant pig. location Anambra state

if you want to buy an in-pig, its best u look around you and procure from farmers very near you. Travelling is not safe and advisable for pregnant animals

mblarry1:




Am going to be around oke aro thjs sat, can i have your contact details... pls

Where is your pen at?

whyom09:


THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE PROMPT RESPONSE I REALLY APPRECIATE.

SO IT MEANS CLIPPING OF THE TEETH IS ALREADY LATE.

PLS. AT WHAT AGE SHOULD I CASTRATE THE MALE PIGLETS.

Its not late. You must remove their teeth pls, its s dangerous weapon.

Castrate them once they are weaned.

Hope you have an experienced hand doing the teeth and castration for you??

Cheers!!

@DYNAMIX101, I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS TO ASK. FIRST OF ALL MY QUESTIONS WILL BE FOCUSSED ON PIGLETS MANAGEMENT AND WELFARE.
1. ARE THERE ANY INJECTION(S)/ DRUGS THAT SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY ADMINISTERED TO THE PIGLETS AND THEIR MOTHERS?

2. THE PIGLETS ARE ABOUT 2 WEEKS OLD, IS CLIPPING OF THEIR NEEDLE TEETH NECESSARY?
3. ONE OF THE PIGLETS HARDLY SUCKLES AS RESULT IT IS LOOKING VERY TINY. FOR NOW I'M USING COW MILK FROM FULANI WOMEN TO FEED IT. IS THERE ANY OTHER THING I SHOULD DO?

THESE ARE THE MOST URGENT QUESTIONS WILL COME IN LATER. THANKS IN ANTICIPATION FOR YOUR PROMPT RESPONSE.

Nice that you have entered into the business, but you have broken the one rule I kick against for newbie farmers: Never start thine journey with breeding.

So sorry about tour losses and the obstacles you are facing. You will overcome. Let me respond to you:

1. You ought to give them iron injection orally for three days. Inject the mother too with iron
2. You ought to have clipped their teeth the second day max after they are born
3. Buy LA vaccine and give it orally with iron.

Don't let ur animals graze carelessly. What you should do is to enclose them and then you scavenge for household wastes and fruits and vegetables for them. They will add weight faster.

If you have any other issues, lemme know

Hello dynamix101, pls have you shared pig feed fmlae here? Tnks.

Hi

No, I haven't

Jesudun1983:
Can one invest in this business without having a pen

Having as in owning?? Or having as in buying??

You don't need to own a pen, u can look for farmers who have for rent

datatrader:

Please be specific, local or foreign breed.

Local breeds. You want foreign breeds?? Naturally farmers will charge you more, it will now be a racket, no fixed price so I can't help you with the cost price of foreign breed

And we are live on Whatsapp....... If you are a pig enthusiast or a prospective entrant and you aren't there, you are missing quite a lot. Get in and get involved.

To your success!!!

Angelandmalay:

Q1: As a Newbie, What Should I Do; Breeding or Fattening?

Good question for a newbie. You are a novice with no prior experience. Don't think breeding straight away. Just focus on fattening. It easier, less stressful and less hypertensive for you. And depending on what you procured, you can make sales within 2-4 months.

As you get stronger and more experienced, you can then delve into breeding.

dorispray:


If I choose to simply ignore your post, you'll think say you don win, but the problem I can see with you is that your assertions are not right but yet you're claiming that you're totally right.

And judging from your assertions, It's a clear fact to me that you're not a trained Vet doctor, neither do you probably work along with one, but you carry out self-medication on your Pigs while relying solely on the information you get on google (Which you do NOT even properly and diligently go through)

You asked me for hypothesis studies but I'll humbly advise you to go to school to acquire right knowledge or alternatively align yourself with a trained Vet doctor and you can aquire some knowledge that way, should in case you cannot dilligently get that from your google search (but of course the knowledge is right available there online)

[/i]

And did made any comment or assertion like this on this thread ??


Now let me help other folks here with this info: You can only consider giving your pregnant sow correct dose of required vaccines (i.e oxytocin & prostaglandins - Please no just carry anyone give am ooo) during the farrowing periods as long as you've properly documented your pigs gestation days. Note: The decision whether to use prostaglandins or not must be an individual one based on veterinary advice and the results assessed on each farm.

Your assertions are duly noted. I am a practical farmer and you can come by anytime to see my farm at Oke aro. I googled to crosscheck your hypothesis and didn't find anywhere where your claim was validated. We can go back and forth on this issue, but this will be my last reply to you.

I teach what I do, I teach what has been tested and verified by me and other farmers in my community and has been yielding results. Anytime you want, come and see what we do over here. That you do not do it does not make it wrong. It is right and we even inject them every two weeks with iron. That is the right thing to do. Please do not inject your pregnant sows with oxytocin, biko.

Thank you!

Success only comes to us when we do the right things in the right way and at the right time.

I have been asked questions on different aspects of pig farming recently and I have come across posts and comments that are really unacceptable if we are to make profits and earn a living from this business. The truth is that we are in it for the long haul, creating a breed strain that will give us eventual joy. For others like you, you need to 'hammer' in the shortest possible time. Isn't that what starting a business is all about?? Lol!

In the next few days, I will be replying questions and issues bothering prospective and practising farmers. If you have issues burning on your mind, please post them here or Whatsapp me so we can treat them here. If you want to come over and see the little work we are carrying out in our own little corner at Oke aro, Whatsapp me and let's arrange a visit for you.

To your success in 2020!!!

You decide for yourself




I'm not going into a debate with you on it. It's a choice you either accept or ignore. And I still maintain that it's safer if you abort administering injections to a pregnant sow until it's delivery.



You're most welcome sir.

You skipped the part where I asked for studies that support your hypothesis. We have been doing it for years and we are seeing the results. I have personally asked a number of farmers who were having issues to start injecting their pregnant sows and infant mortality dropped. This is practical, not theoretical. I have googled studies and I have not seen any where it is said that iron kills foetuses. Rather, oyibo themselves in some studies allow for the injections cos there is an admitted slight change in form in resultant infant birth in sows that were injected when they were pregnant. Over here, we have seen a huge change in form from our practical applications.

Thank you!

dorispray:


Excuse me sir what makes you think that giving injection to the pregnant sow is the "right thing" to do?

Does it even occurs to you that giving injection to the pregnant sow can even caused any deformity to unborn piglets?

As you being serious or just jerking my chain??

Kindly show us studies which show that giving iron injections to pregnant sows might cause damage to the foetuses. That you don't do it doesn't make it wrong. I still maintain that it is the right thing to do; let's 'rightly' educate upcoming farmers on the best practices to increase their yield.

Thank you!
