Thanks so much,Dynamix101, your write up is an inspiration, loaded, down to heart. You torched every area in pig farming. You are a Gem.I will need your support because i'm thinking of doing the pig Biz. Thanks

Plan to attend the upcoming training and learn firsthand both the technical aspect and the business side of pig farming

Pls how much can someone rent pens at oke are and there size. Thanks

Depends on size. Between 2000-4000 monthly. You pay for either 6 months or a year

vickifeanyi47:
Yes. for example a tonne of PKC is sold for 28k

While it's 42k averagely here

obstead200:
Thanks for the write-up bro. Pls what are your thoughts on Combining piggery with Poultry? Especially when the space btw the 2 pens would be Less than 2 metres but completely separated? Do yOU think it would pose a threat to the birds?
I have a poultry with fishpond I no Longer use due to Leakages. Am toying with the Idea of Converting the ponds to pig pens. But am scared because Of It's proximity to the poultry house. l normally raise broilers and Sometimes pullets in that pen

There is no danger in terms of disease spreading from one to the other. Pigs and chickens can stay together but please ensure that none can stray into the other's domain because I have heard funny stories of pigs killing and eating chickens.

Nengee:
U are one of the scammers frm what I can see.......

Lol..... I am really laughing

a maxipharo:
Nice observations, but all what you listed varies cause of location. In Abia state, a kg of pork meat goes for #1100

Are you for real? If you are serious then Abia is d best location to site a piggery because raw materials will abound and cheaply too

Nengee:
Pls my follow pig farmer and those interested in pig farming Pls, do be careful when buying exotic breeds. 80% of exotic breed been sold to u are not pure breeds they are mixed. My advice to anyone venturing into pig farming or buying exotic pigs should insist on seeing the parent pig of any piglets or grower u are about to buy to avoid stories that touch.
For ur exotic breeds u can contact me on
07066752231 calls
08032952157 watsapp
Morrizo
I can share a video of what a pure breed looks like

Very funny. See parents indeed. Come to okearo and see where scammers use exotic breed as parents to deceive buyers. Seeing isn't always believing

haywhy17:
PKC 53
CORN BRAN 28.3
SOY BEAN 16
BONE MEAL 2
SALT 0.5
PREMIX 0.2

UNIT COST OF EACH INGREDIENT/KG
PKC 50 X 53 = 2650
CORN BRAN 40 X 28.3 = 1132
SOY BEAN 120 x 16 = 1920
BONE MEAL 60 x 2 = 120
SALT 50 x 0.5 = 25
PREMIX 600 x 0.2 = 120
Total 5,967


That is even less than the proposed N65..

To also achieve good result in fattening.. Go for castrated animals... I just buy and fatten...

Sori I don't understand. How many kg is this and for how many animals? I am seeing 5967.

femu:
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
