This list is all about feed ingredients and their current prices. Prices always differ based on location. Some of the items are not easily quantified because the sellers  don’t retail based on weight; they just bag it up. You can always squeeze them to top it up .  We Pig farmers are interested in weights so I will try and give an approximate where I can. Please feel free to contribute……………,

Merchant Pig buyers are known to come all the way from Warri to Ota; from Togo to Nigeria,
There are different categories of buyers:
[list]
[li]I have a woman that buys 4 pigs every week to kill at the local weekly market[/li]
[li]One of my customers from idiroko uses it for suya; he kills at least 10 a week[/li]
[li]Another comes from warri and buys a minimum of 100 pigs.[/li]
[li]Most customers always buy a minimum of 1ton(20-10 animals).[/li]
[li]Last year a client requested for 300 piglets in starting his own farm ,i couldn't meet the demand because i wanted to boost my stock.[/li]


[/list]
The issue is demand far exceeds supply in Piggery because it takes you 6months to raise an animal and people eat daily, and some people shy away from piggery for funny reasons.

@blink182
Have you operated a piggery before? I happen to have operated a poultry and run a fishery concurrently with my piggery, so am well informed practically not theoretically. This is what we do daily. So feel free to contribute something positive or you can move on with negative attitude. The purpose of this thread is to educate so you can spend more time learning instead of negative criticisms.
We don't sell to small time domestic customers okay, we sell to merchants who buy several animals. It might serve you well to discuss with a practicing pig farmer instead of imagination.

This is not canvassing!
Piggery is very profitable especially for the same reasons you don't like them, infact we don't want crowd so they don't create glut for us.
Am a practical farmer and also a software developer so i know what am talking about.
Pigs smell only if your cleaning is deplorable and you keep them in high concentrations.
If you keep 100 humans in a flat and don't clean thoroughly how do you think the place will be.
My facility is cleaned daily with disinfectants and fresh water.
Current price per kilo at my axis is 300-280naira live weight, at okearo it might be cheaper for obvious reasons,
You can easily achieve 45k with an old boar or a sow at 150-160kg per kilo.
Even obasanjo sells his highbreed weaners(2months) at 30,000 Naira, so wetin we dey talk.
A lot of families rely on it 100%, you have to practice before you criticize. ASF is the only issue like we all know.
Buyers are not an issue as you will struggle to meet their demand

[center]Piggery Management Tips[/center]

• The best time of the day to monitor your pigs is in the morning before cleaning and feeding. This is vital for two reason; you get to see the state of their stool(in case of diarrhoea) and which animal is disinterested in its meals. A healthy pig is always interested in the first meal of the day.
• A sick pig is hardly interested in its food, lies down most of the time, rarely grunts, staggers, looks pale and depressed.

A Pig Pen has to be solid and well built else it will be difficult to clean and maintain. You can consider the size to reduce costs.

[center]Reasons to invest in Piggery[/center]

In Nigeria Piggery is one of the very few profitable business ventures you don’t have to babysit, it allows you to have a life and career elsewhere. It is very lucrative because once you  sow in it your stock continues to expand forever unlike fishery and poultry where u need to restock after every session.
• Pigs are capable of reproducing at least twice in a year. A female can produce between 18-30 piglets in a year. They are fast growers within 6months they attain good weights and you can make your first sale.
• The startup cost is low and profit margin impressive. Piglets cost as little as 3000 Naira(BIS and DSTV money!!!) and a grown pig can sell for as much as 45000 Naira depending on the weight and breed.
• Piggery doesn’t suffer from glut, because currently demand far exceeds supply. Buyers are available from the South-south, South-west and West African countries. Benue and Egun people love pork in their diet
• Feeding is flexible and relates with your pocket. Pigs can eat almost anything as long as its fresh.
• Pigs are sold based on their weight, so what you put in is what you get out.
• Security is a reduced concern because people hardly steal pigs due to their noise and social reasons.
• Land(you can rent or buy) is still cheap and labor even more affordable , Now is the time to invest wisely and strategically!

Piggery is far better if you want steady and progressive profits without hypertension. But if you have a warchest to fritter away consider poultry.

This is not a technical article, am not an animal scientist nor vet doc so its just my rant based on personal experience. Also its not based on the typical rubbish dump pigs you’re probably used to, its based on Pigs kept in concrete pens for commercial purposes.

Investing in piggery is a good and stress-free business as female Pigs conceive twice in a year and can produce as much as 12piglets each time.

A piglet is sold between 3000-3500 Naira, while mature Pigs are sold based on their live weight(kg) multiplied by the going rate per kilo. Currently this is 230 Naira per kilo. Within a year you can have your pig weigh as much as 100kg if you feed it well.

Advantages over Fishery and Poultry.

Lower mortality rate- Pigs are not as fragile, they can still cope with some delays in feeding and water.
Cheaper cost of feeding- Pigs can be fed with a wide variety of products, like humans they are omnivores. Pig feed also costs lesser per kilo compared to Chicken and Fish feed.
Security- because most people have prejudiced opinions towards pigs they don’t even come close to them, hence the thought of theft doesn’t cross their mind. Some see pigs as a taboo.
Also pigs are highly uncooperative animals to handle, they don’t necessarily move in herds .
Diseases- pigs are less susceptible to diseases unlike poultry. Pigs don’t require any special vaccines. All they need is occasional vitamin supplement, de-worming and anti-bacterial treatments.
Easy on the pocket- if you’re very resourceful you can feed a pig with 50 Naira a day by collecting roughages(cassava peels, corn chaff)  in your neighbourhood. U can't dare that with layers or fishes. Also you can easily source brewery waste and palm kernel cake cake for them
More Profitable- In piggery, when selling a kilogram  is a kilogram whether the animal is Big or Small;whereas in fishery the fishes are sold at different weights per kilogram.
Facility conversion Incase you get tired of farming you can easily convert the pens to offices or accommodation. The designs are relevant. i doubt you can easily achieve that in poultry and fishery
