Hello everyone,
I am trying to set up a pig farm in Ibadan but looking for a farmer where I can have practical training in Ibadan. Can anyone help ?

If you can come to Ota, we will show you the way.

Nice one. #teampork

some one should please come to my aid... Please

My advice is you do either Piggery or Fishery.

2million is a small amount of money if you intend to breed in Piggery. With 2million you should initially focus on fattening and possibly rent a facility instead of constructing your own.

When u master the business you can consider buying sows and building your own place.

No business plan will reveal the intricacies of the business, the best you can do is to understudy a successful and experienced farmer

My uncle has just set up a juice processing factory in ogun state. We have imported the necessary machinery and equipment. Now, we intend to start processing pineaple juice from real fruit. Having discussed with local pineaple farmers in Ibadan and Cotonou, we observed that the cotonou pineaple is cheaper and sweeter than nigerian pineaple. My uncle is very worried because he would have loved to patronize nigerian farmers so as to encourage them but we are into business for profit making.
He has decided to sign a contract with cotonou pineaple supplier for regular supply of pineaple fruit to his factory for production. I am very sad with that decision cause we are improving the rural income of cotonou farmers at the expense of nigerian pineaple farmers.
That's why I want to know why farmers in nigeria can't cultivate the sugarloaf pineaple specie of the cotonou in Nigeria. Since it is more sweeter and cheaper than our locally popular robust pineaple grown. So that nigerian will patronize the local pineaple farmer and stop importing pineaple from cotonou?

Where is your factory located. I might be interested in the byproducts

Can I raise 100 piglets in an half roofed space of 60 feet × 40feet. I am interested in fattening only ( raising weaners to finisher). What is the cost of one weaner now? What is the cost & profit projection if I want to do this? Awaiting response from our gurus . Thanks

Price of weaners varies and can determined by the breed, health condition, size etc.
It ranges from 2500-10,000 naira.

profit is determined by the quality and cost of your feeding. you can assume 50% of the turnover as feed costs.

Since you want to fatten i advice you use good feed for faster returns.

Baeyel:
plz hw viable is it to feed ur pigs with mainly green natter such as pumpkin?. I live at a place where these are readily available.

Its good as a vitamin/mineral/fibre supplement.

You still have to provide them with energy and protein sources

Babalegba:
It is one of life's ironies that you actually asked if I have a brain at all. Anyway you can never over underestimate the typical Nigerian's thinking prowess. Are you talking about the dwindling allocation to states or what. The governors are even struggling to pay salaries ,if they do the roads at the expense of salaries you would have been shouting that salaries are more important than roads and that you can't eat roads. I live in Abeokuta so I can see exactly what is happening. Do not put unrealistic expectations on politicians otherwise you and the politician will end up disappointed. Amosun embarked upon a hugely ambitious road construction program when the economy was buoyant but now the economy is depressed so what do you expect.I lived abroad for twenty five years and the people there are able to analyse things and come to reasonable conclusions using their acquired knowledge. I am disappointed that Nigerians are pygmies intellectually when confronted with life's realities

What happened to all the loans/bonds collected for the projects?
Do you know the no of companies in Ota and the IGR involved?

Do u realise Ogun state has two major cement factories?

Can u count the companies in Agbara industrial estate?

Do you realise Oyedepo has been the one maintaining Sango-idi iroko road?

I am very happy to read your feedback. I believe, we are here to educate ourselves. long life pig farmers.
The first farm to import PIC pigs to Nigeria is Astron farm Ltd. pure breed of Large white, Landrace,PIC 410(terminal sires) and terminal gilts were imported to Nigeria, Nov.,2013. I worked on the farm as Animal geneticist. JSR pigs( terminal sires)
were also imported from SA by IAR and T, Ikenne around that time.
I choose to know more about pig industry in Nigeria. Forgive my passion.
I appreciate your correction on the misuse of "pure breed ".I should have used "purebrand". Anyway, that is Nigerianism.
I salute you sir.

you are correct about IART, they imported about 20 boars and are currently selling the hybrid for 75k.
However the same JSR genetic s.em.en was circulated to farmers by osun state government.
some private farms also subscribed.

Benue state govt also recently imported some pigs from Ireland.

Prior to these, many other farms have also imported discreetly. Infact my first experience with Largewhite and Landrace pigs was in 1987 at a FG river basin pig project.

Importation of pigs into Nigeria has always been an annual affair however maintaining the genetic quality has been the challenge for the local Pig industry.

Breeding is about honesty and discipline,
I would have loved to expatiate but don't want to demarket any one

jam04:
This is a welcome development. Banks will be more responsive to their core duties: commercial banking. Give reasonable and workable loans.

We await them in agricultural sector, especially fish farming

We pig farmers also await the banks

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT PIC PIGS IN NIGERIA.
There is only one farm where one can get pure -breed of PIC pig in Nigeria and that is .....FARMS LTD. All who claim to Have PIC Pigs either bought from this farm or imported se men to Nigeria to Upgrade their breed. if you buy from this farm you have to be sure of what you are buying, hence you may mistake slaughter line for parent line. some farmers bought slaughter line of PIC pig and claim to have pure breed of PIC. what they have is meant for pork production and should never be used as breeder. when you are buying, ask question or buy from a reputable farm.

Do you care to share the name of the farm?

How do you know what is happening in every other pig farm in Nigeria?

You only know how big your own farm is.
Never say your farm or any is the biggest or best.
a yoruba proverb defined that ages ago!!!

You can publicise your business but I encourage you to avoid controversial statements as it will derail the purpose of this thread.

Finally i don't think you should ascribe or relate the word "pure breed" to PIC.

Many different farms in Nigeria have gone a long way in importing quality genetics into Nigeria.

devils using pig as his handtool.





In the other news, come see my articles on how to start a profitable plantain farm and create your own wealth in the multibillion naira plantain industry.

your comment is unfortunate. Are you a real farmer?

ogb5:
With 3m naira one should be able to fence 100 hectares with 4 strands of barbed wires. I don't think that should be a problem for someone who is able to buy 100 hectares of land.

From reports Olu Falae has been having running problems with cattle herders and was finally kidnapped from his farm this week. I think a man like Falae should be able to fence his farm.

Even in civilised places like the US, farmers still fence their farms, why can't we do the same in Nigeria

the fence will be breached as often as possible...
can you provide a breakdown costing for 100 hectares.

ogb5:
This is not a 1st time problem. This problem has been faced by others before.
We need to ask ourselves, how did others solve the problem when they faced it. Every country had nomadic herding of animals at one point or the other in their history. How did they overcome animal destruction of crops?

The barbed wire is potent in keeping animals in check.
For the new breed farmers who put a lot for their live savings into crop farming, investing some extra money to protect your crops from destruction should be high on the agenda. And you might actually be protecting your live as well. Arguement over cattle destruction of crops claim the lives of many farmers yearly.

how much will it COST to barb wire and MAINTAIN 100 hectares of land?

Do you think the wires won't be breached or the farmer will put sensor. abeg let's be realistic

Only the state and federal government can solve this menace if we are serious about agric.
it's not possible to fence land for serious crop commercial farming...... the cost is too much.
The way forward is for the influential farmers to form a lobby group and stop the menace

shame on the government

jaz:
what's the demand like across the country and is there opportunity for export ?

demand is great!
export already happens to cotonou.
If u process into pork at a competitive price you can export to more nations

These are screenshots of a comment on facebook about Nigeria that broke my heart. I felt as if the insult was directed at me.

This man worked in same company with me as an expat for a few months. He's my facebook friend, and he's Indian.
Someone asked him to bring something from Nigeria, then he went ahead and lashed the country in his comment.

I want the world to see this careless post. I hope he repents of such a stinking mentality about Nigeria.
He posted the update on sunday afternoon.

he is your colleague and Facebook friend.

what's your motive for this post?

Mackson01:
Is it ok to construct a pig pen without roofing? Pls I need advice. The roofing cost is too much for me as I am just starting out

it's not ok... pigs require a form of roofing even if it's primitive roofing

udemex:
Great thread you have here friends. After reading through this thread last week, I decided to venture into Pig farming also. I have rented a pen at Gudugba farm along Papalanto, Ifo area of Ogun State and bought three gilts (about-to-cross). But the estimate giving to me for feeding my three pigs is about 36,000/month. The figure is scary. Please where can I buy cheaper and healthy feeds?

look around for pkc, cassava peels and brewery waste.
interact with your colleagues in gudugba they will show you the way!
