Hello All on "Pig Farmers Let us Meet Here" Post, I have learnt some essential and critical piggery farming tips on this post thread.
I am writing a piggery business proposal and I have to make the investment come true. I have asked 4 piggery farmers with varying years of piggery business and received loads of information,I have also done reviews using online sources within and outside Nigeria. However, none has hit the nail on the head on the vast differences between the use of Exotic/Pure breed/Imported breeds over the commonly available breeds in Nigeria, I got this information on a single thread post on this forum.
In summary, what I have learnt now are :
Besides the capital cost of pens, borehole, power source and fencing, the primary purpose of the business should guide the choice of breed to use.
If venture is for breeding purpose, the better option is to use the pure breed especially *camborough* because of its feed conversion ratio, litter size and attainable weight of piglets farrowed within a 4-month period that is greater than what is obtained in the local breeds.
Although, there is no price differenciation in the kilogram price for pure or local breeds, the difference lies in the reduction of feed cost, halved market size wait time and income that can be derived from selling piglets of farrowed. Boars from breeding lines can be used for fattening while the females can be sold off at all stages of a pig's life and some chosen to continue breeding .
I have also observed that the cost of feed is a major part of the operational expense. Please can anyone verify if the prices below holds true :
1. Palm Kernel Cake @ N32/kg
2. Corn @ N130/kg
3. Cassava waste @ N200/15kg - 20kg bag
4. Noodles waste @N120/kg
5. Dried Blood meal @ N120/kg
6. Bone meal @ N400/kg
7. Bread waste @ N200/kg
8. Brewery wet waste @ N70,000 -N100,000/ 15 tonnes
9. Vitamin premix @ N1100/0.500gm
10. Industrial salt @ N500

1. Camborough about-to-cross
2. Camborough weaners

4. Camborough boars
