8 months to attain 60 kg?

haywhy17:



8 months from weaners... Haba... What r you feeding them? Vegetables or rice bran (its too much) ...contact me for a good feed formulae that won't cost you more than N65 per kg


Cost of weaners around is around 4000-4500 of which buying growers is much better.

Accommodation depends on where u raise ur pigs.. In this part of osun state, aspen that can house 5 pigs goes for just N100-200 per month.

Practically, yes. If you are dealing with the average breeds we have in Nigeria. If we talk about exotic breed, what will be the initial cost of the animal. If you decide to take the shorter route of feeding them to achieve greater weight in shorter time, 65 naira cannot feed them.

Please outline here what formula you use that will cost you 65 naira and how many kg it will come out as. Also what is the weight gain expected per animal? This is practical, not theory

PIG FARMING AS A LUCRATIVE BUSINESS IN NIGERIA



PROFITABILITY OF PIG FARMING IN NIGERIA

NOTE: this is mainly for pig fattening aspect of pig farming.

A simple way to judge whether pig farming is profitable is by comparing the pork price (pig meat) and cost of production.

Assumptions (NB; Based on the available contemporary experience on pig farming)

• Average daily weight gain of 0.4kg
• Average daily feed consumption of 1.64kg from weaner to finisher of (50kg live weight in this case)
• Target live weight of 50kg
• Resultant pork from pig as 80% of its market weight
• Average feed price per kg of diet= #150
• Selling price per kg of pork= #1100
• Other costs(drugs and vaccine) = #1500
Hence,
• The pig would require 50÷0.4= 125 days to reach the target market weight of 50kg
• Total feed consumed throughout growth (125×1.64) = 205kg
• Total cost of feed consumed (205×150)= #30,750
Therefore Total cost of production = total cost of feed + other cost
= 30,750 + 1500
= #32,250
• Resultant pork = 80% of 50kg
= 35kg
• Cost price per kg of pork = 32,250÷ 35
= #806.25
• Selling price of pork per kg = #1,100
• Profit per kg of pork = selling price of pork per kg – cost price per kg of pork
= 1100 – 806.25
= #293.75
Therefore, you make #293.75 for every kg of pork meat!!

Hello

Nice write-up and an encouraging one. Piggery can be a rewarding experience, but in the long term. I have some observations and additions:

1. You didn't include the cost price of the pig which is around 5000-6000 for weaners and 12000 for growers.
2. You didn't account for cost of accommodation which averages 200 naira per month per pig.
3. Cost of attendant isn't included.
4. U said it takes 125 days or 4 months to achieve 50kg. In theory it's okay. In practical, it takes an average of 8 months from weaner age to attain 60kg.
5. Pigs require around 3kg of feed daily esp as they grow older
6. The cost per kg live weight is 420 naira as at today in oke aro. Outside farms sell for 470 thereabouts. Selling at 1100 means you are slaughtering and you then have to add 1500 as slaughtering cost minus the whole wahala of transporting, marketing etc.

From this, the profit of 10,281.25 per animal (35kg X 293.75) will have been decimated.

Pig farming can be a very rewarding experience but it's not a get rich scheme; it takes time and lots of it. If you aren't passionate, you will run in and run out as a lot of people have been doing.

E be like say the guy no see the paper well well

Good morning,

My cousin and I want to design an ecommerce site for b2b companies like alibaba. The concept of that site is what we will like to employ with some tweaks.

Can anyone design it? How long will it take and what will it cost us?

Also, in terms of management and administration, what other software and hardware will we need?

Merry Christmas to you all. I trust that we are all enjoying the festivities regardless.

Please let`s all share to this my earlier comment on marketing

What are your views on the issue of marketing, whatever agricultural angle you might be coming from? What have been your experiences? Lets tackle this all-important issue and see if we can make a headway and make farming very interesting

Expecting to hear from us all.

Hmmmm!! Fire sef dey burn plantain? God epp someborry

Good morning,

Christmas has come early and i am dropping my own christmas present .

I got a call on Sunday from someone in the East who wanted to purchase pork from me so he could resell. I saw it as an impossible endeavour both logistically and cost-wise. This week, the same issue came up. I have decided to drop some pointers so that everyone can be helped.

The biggest problem any producer or manufacturer faces is the problem of disposal/selling of his/her products. Whenever people sell ebooks or do seminars, they focus so much on the profitability of the business (check out those mouthwatering millions) and how to make the business work; they conveniently, or maybe mistakenly, forget to talk about disposing the end product (i am talking to everyone, not just pig farmers). As a result, people enter the business and then are heartbroken when they cannot sell anything. With poultry, its worse.

MARKETING OF YOUR PORK

You have reared your pigs and they have attained market weight, how do you sell them off, especially if you arent in a pig community? Here are some suggestions:

1. Go down to real communities around or near you and make connections. Connections and networks are the net worth of every entrepreneur. Don't be too lazy or afraid to go out and make contacts with people who can buy from you. Please, be careful so that you don't get duped or owed. Cash is king always.

2. Why not forward integrate and control the entire process from start to finish, like i said above in one of my posts? Even if you dont have a piggery and are looking to tap into the business, sell pork and make money. as a producer, it becomes doubly rewarding because you end up making more money than you would if you sold them as live animals. Note that it is the processors of any product that make more money than the raw material producers.

What are your views on the issue of marketing, whatever agricultural angle you might be coming from? What have been your experiences? Lets tackle this all-important issue and see if we can make a headway and make farming very interesting.

N.B. A lot of people have been demanding for a comprehensive seminar that will practically discuss the entire process of pig rearing, from start to finish, embracing both backward and forward integration. I have been hesitant, but the question is this: will a seminar in 2018 be a good idea? Let me know your thoughts

Good evening all. I hope your piggery adventure has been going well.

My next post is one that will be of great benefit to, not only farmers, but to everyone who wants to share and have a piece of this national pig cake

Watch this space and follow this thread so you wont be left out.

happybrother:

Add labour cost,carriage,weeding,fertilizer ,replacements and pruning the you can see clearer. What baffles me is that some folks do the maths in addition and multiplication only they leave subtraction off the game.

Thats the plan. So that greedy suckers will fall head over heels for the scam

henrygentle:


Is it 1500 each?

For both. one sometimes can buy for 600 per bunch. If u take out cost of transport and wholesaler+retailer profits, how much will it be sold at the farm??

madgoat:

You dey mind the person? How will he sell it for N1700 direct from farm. Only mugu buyers that consume it personally will buy it.

Actually i smell an internet farmer. In one big market here in Lag, we bought 2 bunches for 1500. So?

godsamist:
I am into plantain farming with start up of 50 stand and a butch sales for #1700 by 50….good money?
Well taking a larger step,wants another land that can contain 100 stands,
It all depends on good place the biz is good and don't need much stress.
If you set to go start with just 10 sucker, before 10th month of hervest ,it multiply more than 30 and on and on withinout stress like weeding and all that stuff.
If you are ready to go ,promise to stand by you ,then thank me later!

Pls in what state do you sell a bunch of plantain for 1700 per bunch direct from farm?

dbynonetwork:
Why is it that plantains cannot produce well in the northern part of Nigeria?.

It will grow on a very fertile land close to a perennial water source

Dis daddy freeze. I dey look am. He has finished tithes and has entered the domain of the Holy Ghost who doesnt forgive blasphemy against Himself.

This is always the problem when someone brings up a controversy against biblical teachings and has a large following. Now the devil is setting him up for destruction. I pity him cos he doesnt seem to believe hell is real.

To his followers and supporters beware; whoever strenghtens the hand of the wicked will join in d judgement.

DUNKA:
oGA you get strong mind sha. You DAT down in the North and sent money even without seeing the land. Hope the farm he showed you was not an arangee if you know what I mean. Pray you get your money back sha

Did you bother to read through the entire saga or are u just another rabble rouser who feels he must say something no matter how dumb it is??

fluentinfor:


It is at advance stage forensic investigations are needed. There are still some very affordable tools and techniques which can be put in place.

Hmmmmm!!!! This your articulate composition and 'wisdom of the ages' packaging dey make me look u one kind

Where are all the conservationists and nature lovers? Abeg come out enmass and denounce this atrocious act.

Una don terminate endless generations. Imagine killing an almost fully grown doe

smartleo:

In fact ambitious is a small word compare to this .......but we have been finding it hard to get 10k sef

What's ur target price?

smartleo:
Please I'm seriously looking for who has old layers for sale ,one of my client needs one hundred thousand old layers to buy........
If you do have contact ,send me a mail at to fosunlakin@yahoo.com,please include your phone number as content of the mail.thanks

Look up poultry farms in Oyo and Ogun states. Start from Obasanjo sha. From there you will get contacts to farms directly.

But isn't 100k a bit too ambitious?

HELLO HOUSE.
I just started egg business three weeks ago. i have customers who ask for up to 250 crates twice a week. i need an investor to help me boost sales,my need now is enough capital n a car to be able to supply the eggs. any direct farm in lagos that can boast of fresh eggs and crates/disposable crates at farm prices.should pls reply me.

Go to Obasanjo's poultry farm after Ifo, register and become a distributor. Or you can enquire from farms along badagry/seme axis. Their eggs are usually cheaper
Once you have a source, try to raise funds the old-fashioned way; from family and friends.

The issue of tithing and its rightful place being in the Old Testament is very funny.

Do we scrap the entire Old Testament because we are in the dispensation of grace? Do the 10 commandments become of no effect to us now? Do God's promises and instructions become of no effect to us now?

Read this article with an open mind

The scripture most frequently referenced regarding the tithe is indeed in the Old Testament (Malachi 3:10-12), but the tithe is also referenced in the New Testament. In Matthew 23:23, Jesus talks to the Pharisees, condemning them for tithing to the penny but neglecting the more important issues of justice, mercy and faith. He then goes on to tell them that they should in fact tithe, but that they shouldn't neglect the more important things. Jesus recognized the importance of keeping the tithe and we should, too.

There are many practices in the Old Testament that don't make sense to us today, yet many of these ancient ways carry over to the New Testament law of grace as part of Christ's promise to not abolish the law, but to fulfill it (Matthew 5:17). For instance we no longer sacrifice animals but as believers we are called to offer ourselves up as a living sacrifice (Rom 12:1). Men no longer are required to be circumcised, but we all have a circumcision of the heart through the Holy Spirit (Rom 2:29). Most of us don't have grain and produce to bring to the storehouse, but we do have incomes that we can bring the first tenth of into the church. In other words, just because something is written in the Old Testament doesn't mean it lacks application to us today in some way or another. Zoe4Ever, left a comment on my previous article regarding this principle that I found insightful:

When I think of Christians asking themselves whether "tithing" is commanded in the Bible, is an Old Testament or New Testament teaching, I wonder how many of these Christians "send back" the many scriptural blessings God has given His people in the Old Testament. How many people when they are blessed and given hope through the mention of God's works, words etc. through the Old Testament Scriptures say ‘I don't receive this or that blessing or confirmation because it's in the Old Testament'?"

While it is true that we are no longer under the old law, that we are under grace, we must not forget the purpose of grace: to help us live for God and do the things He wants us to do. Romans 8:4 tells us that Jesus came that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, not so that we could altogether dismiss it. And Romans 3:21-31 talks about how we have righteousness through faith and not through following the law, but verse 31 adds "Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Not at all! Rather, we uphold the law." God's grace gives us the power and ability to tithe!


Let us not be deceived by false doctrine and teachers
