Why eat the product of your aggressor daily and still lament.

simple solution is to boycott beef for 6 months and let's see if there won't be peace.

lot's of alternative protein exist;
fish, pork, chicken sheep, rabbit, snail, bush meat

The consumers and the demand for beef are the cause of the rampage

It depends on how soon you intend to utilise the cassava.
You can chop it into little bits and dry for storage

dominique:
Where exactly in kano is it located? Is it still in existence?

no. it closed up in 1980

crestedaguiyi:
that may never see the light of day except regionalism is brought back to the fore.

i recently added you on whatsapp with intentions to learn pig farming from you.

the lady who planted cassava on the land i bought say i have to either wait till she is able to take them out or buy the cassava. the guys i paid to dig borehole are on stand by till i sort out issues with the woman.

what will i do with the cassava cos i need to get my piggery up and running .

you can retain the cassava, it's very useful in feeding pigs

crestedaguiyi:
That was before Nigeria became a zoo

together we can make Nigeria Great again

jam04:
But Op I thought the general believe is that hausas(muslims) don't like pigs. How come they allowed such farm exist in such popular city like Kano?

Thats what most people think... i know for a fact Pigs are reared in kaduna, kano, bauchi, benue, plateau, nasarawa borno etc.

a lot of Northern cities contain Christian minorities who are crazy about pork

Oh yes! Right here in Nigeria, the largest pig farm in the world once existed in the core Muslim Northern city of Kano.

That was when Nigeria was lovey dovey and we all tolerated one another.

The farm was started in 1943 by a Lebanese, Kalil Maroun founder of K.Maroun and Co a popular Pork Farm/Processing company, located at Apapa, Lagos.

The original intention of Maroun was to produce pork for the US military base in Kano during world war 2.

In 1959, 36,000 pigs were fattened and transported by rail to be butchered and processed in Lagos every month.


Let's make Nigerian Agriculture Great once again.

Let's rule the World again

Let’s take a look at some pictures from the Kano pig farm

OP fact is that the government has not even invested sufficiently in vocational training.

All the government has done in the past is purchase okada and keke napep... nothing concrete on vocational training

How many skilled artisans do we have in Nigeria? Even in the construction industry foreign skilled labourer are sought after.

Majority of the male youths prefer to drive okada or embark on a voyage to the Western world.

globally Innovation is all about taking risks, if necessary becoming an outcast for a while e. t. c

How many Nigerians that went to ivy league schools abroad have become innovators even in America?

Do you think our culture and social life is suited for innovation?

Are you ready to risk all your life savings on an idea?

@ Femu, can you please recommend any, that will be willing to share knowledge? The few, I have spoken with are a bit stingy with knowledge sharing.

Plenty of free information on this thread,

Excellent posts here and I must say, you guys are really superb, please I want to get some clarification, is PKC same as the palm kernel fiber we get from palm oil extraction? This is because I have a palm oil mill and I want to diversify into piggery, already acquired the land (in Ogun state, very close to Nestle flowergate factory, cos of feed) and am using this platform as my to-do guide.
Please help with what PKC means in layman's term. Plus I will appreciate information on pitfalls to avoid while embarking on this investment.
I will like to inquire about the possibility of having some experience in this before going into it real time, any connection to piggery owners?
Thanks in anticipation.

PKC is Palm kernel cake.

It's a byproduct of Palm Kernel Oil(vegetable oil) extraction not Palm Oil extraction.

There are many pitfalls in agriculture, we learn daily.

I suggest you develop a relationship with an experienced and successful pig farmer

mkezy:
Hi pig farmers out there.
Can somebody help me with these questions:

1. How much is the price of life pig per kg now in south west?

2. What is the correct formula for pig feeds?

Thanks

Currently a kilo of liveweight is above 300 naira, i sold at 320 naira on Monday. Buyers from outside Nigeria are very eager and desperate at the moment cause our currency has fallen.

I learnt 1000 naira exchanges now for 2000 cefa as against 3000 cefa in d past.


There is no specific formula for pigs but you have age based nutritional requirements that can guide your formulation.

A good feed should contain adequate protein, energy, fibre, minerals and vitamins

brickpetrol:
I am currently out of town. But I will give you a call soon.

Do you have Boars for sale? I need them urgently.

searching...

samuel25:
Anybody with comprehensive diseases of pig, treatment and various vaccination available for pig should pls share .

Nigerian pig industry isn't yet as sophisticated as the poultry industry, hence vaccines are hardly available or applied.

Lots of pig diseases exist the most devastating is ASF(African Swine Fever), no vaccine or antibiotic can prevent or treat this virus.

Most other diseases are managed using Antibiotics and good biosecurity measures.

Don4eva:
Oga femu, I think you need to share the picture of this your boar, 250kg is really massive

Healthilyea:
seconded

can you assist with my original request?

still searching.....

My King boar weighing over 250kg is going to Pig heaven/retirement soon and am in need of 3 mature Healthy and active Boar Pigs weighing between 50-70kg.

They should have good physique and be free of diseases

You can call or WhatsApp me on 08034209301 if you have such desirable pigs.

Palm Kernel Cake(am sure everyone can identify ?) in my area its gotten from presco plc, its single crush, but with reasonable/most oil extracted. Costs btwn N 25-33/kg
Palm Kernel Meal, am not too sure, but think is solvent extracted form of pkc. Its drier n crumby in texture. Feedmill says its higher in crude protein dan pkc.
They source from PHC. Costs N36/kg.
Soyabean Meal, not also sure, but i think its also solvent extracted, so its drier n crumby intexture, like garri. Butter yellow in color, with specs of grinded beans visible. Costs N135/kg
Soyabean Cake is processed like PKC, beans fried, grinded and pressed to extract oil. Its darker in color against SBM , brownish yellow. Costs N150.
D issue is this; does having less oil mean having more crude protein? Like in d case of PKM against PKC, But i dont know if its d same with SBM.

I only have pic of PalmKernelMeal (top) n SoyaBeanCake(bottom) attached.

Go for results and affordability.

unless you analyse your feed all the time you can't be precise.

Finally monograstric nutrition is a professional field that goes beyond casual analysis....

Healthilyea:
Hello house. Please i have a few questions.
1, What is an ideal cost per kg for feed? Is N60-N65/kg too expensive?
2, Soyameal vs soyacake?
- Pkm vs pkc ?
-Bdg vs wheat offal
3, is dis composition ideal for growers?
Maize 40%
Pkm or pkc 22.5%
Soyameal 10%
Bdg 15%
Wheat offal 10%
Bonemeal 2%
Methionine 0.025%
Lysine 0.025%
Premix 0.25%
Salt 0.25%.

cc dejia
cc femu
cc lagbaja
cc boluwajokosegun

Thanks.

To determine the ideal cost weigh a random sample of the growers within a specific duration and determine how many kg of feed they consume to gain a kg of liveweight.

soya meal, soya cake, pkc, pkm are all terms that could refer to the same product or different products depending on your locale, feedmill, processor or whom you ask.
Its better if you can describe the source, physical characteristics or attach a picture

BDG and wheatoffal are both good souces of fibre.

The formulation you have attached looks good enough for growers.
Hope they are looking chubby and fresh?

good morning huse, I av a pig which i gve a woman to hlp me rear but I do gve her money for feeding she also av about 5 pigs my just gve birth to two piglets is it a good start as a first birth

For a first time female the litter size/no of piglets can be low or inconsistent, however a lot of my females deliver between 10-12 at the first time.


Factors that can influence litter size/ no of piglets include :

Age of the boar and semen quality

Age/Weight of the female.

Nutritional deficiencies

stress after mating

period of mating.

Female pigs require a lot of pampering to give positive consistent results.

dadson2009:
Rearing of pigs is good but the odour is the problem wen ppl start complaining

If you clean properly and regularly odour is reduced.
Also you can reduce order by proper feed formulation and pig pen design.

jaspillo:
85 tonnes available, location is Ogun state and price per tonne is 291. Thank you.

85 Tonnes of Pig?

muyiroro:
Merry xmas to all farmers in the house. I saw pen around Ifo ogun state with tiles the pigs are very neat and is easy to clean cos of the tiles . I just want to know the advantages and disadvantages cos am about to start my own pen construction. Thanks

Nice looking. Eye candy!

It's difficult to talk about the advantages or disadvantages of a system without experiencing it.
Definitely cleaning will be easier but i would rather use the extra tiling costs to buy more pigs.

Aside the costs, won't it be slippery for grown pigs especially when they want to mate?

Do they do more of breeding or fattening?

A good way to evaluate the system of any farm is no of years they have been operating and years of operating a particular system successfully with good output

very nice pix. we would like to learn how to grill.
put pix on Facebook

Subsidy just has to go and the economy should be promptly diversified.
Adeola (min for finance) fayemi (solid minerals), audu ogbe (min for agriculture) wake up and do something fast.

Tourism and Technology should be promoted.

I don't see us being competitive in solid minerals considering poor infrastructure and existing global players
