PIG FEED REQUIREMENTS AT EACH STAGE OF GROWTH

Piglets

Young pigs do not take much in terms of solid feed because they get all their nutritional needs from their mothers' milk. To ensure piglets get enough milk from suckling during the early stages of growth, farmers should give the sows adequate and balanced feed to ensure they produce adequate milk for the piglets. At three weeks after farrowing (birth), the farmer should castrate all male piglets and start to train them to eat solid feeds. Suckling piglets should also have their sharp teeth clipped, three days after farrowing to prevent them causing injury to their mother during suckling.

Assuming a farmer has 10 piglets to feed, they can isolate a creep area (housing for young ones) where their mother cannot reach and put in 50g of feed per piglet per day. Observe the feeding daily; if you see the feed reducing, add another 50g for each into their feeding trough to make it 1kg. At 5 weeks (35 to 42 days) add another 50g per piglet to make it 150g. The piglets should always have access to their mother in case they want to suckle. They should also have access to clean water at all times.

Weaners

At 6 weeks, each piglet should be getting 200g of feed per week. If they finish the feed, keep on adding an extra 50g per piglet daily. During the feeding process, the farmer should weigh the pigs weekly (a healthy pig at this stage should add at least 900g per day). If there is an increase in weight at this rate, it means that the pigs are growing well. Weaners should be given dry feed at all times to prevent scouring or diarrhoea. Give adequate clean water at all times.

Porkers

At 14 weeks, the pigs will require additional feed; the farmer can give 1.4kg of extra feed per pig per day. In addition, the farmer should continue giving the 50g of feed as they were doing before. Divide the pig feed into three equal portions:

A wet ration in the morning at 7 am (feed mixed with water), a dry feed at noon (feed with no water) and a final wet feed (feed mixed with water) at 4 pm. A well-fed porker pig should add an extra 300g of weight per day (weigh them regularly and record their weight to monitor their growth).

Baconers

At 22 weeks, the pigs (now called baconers) require a higher feed ration as they are about to attain the market liveweight of between 80-90kg. At this stage the farmer should give them 2.5 – 2.75kg of feed per pig per day. From 23 weeks, the feed should be increased to 3kg (1kg of wet feed in the morning, 1kg of dry feed at noon and 1kg of wet feed at 4pm). If well managed at this stage pigs can attain up to 100kg in 5 months.

At this stage the farmers can now do selection of the pigs to determine those that can go to the abbattoir for slaughter, young female pigs (gilts) can be served and sold to interested farmers while others can be retained for breeding as sows. The boars (male pigs) can also be sold or retained for breeding purposes (be careful to ensure the pig does not serve its daughters or related pigs to avoid inbreeding). A well-managed baconer should add an extra 900g to 1000g (1 kg) per day.

Sows

Sows need special attention in feeding. A sow’s yield can be as high as 16-17 litres of milk per day. To produce this amount of milk, a sow has to be well fed, both for body maintenance and milk production. A sow with piglets that are suckling requires 6 kilogrammes of feed every day or an amount of feed that is equal to 25 % of her body weight.

The feeding should be divided into 3 rations (2kg of wet feed in the morning, 2kg of dry feed at noon and 2kg of wet feed at 4pm). Like other pigs, sows should be given adequate and clean water at all times.

Gilts

A female pig that is not yet served (gilts) should be given at least 3kg of feed per day. The farmer can supplement this with any other available feed in addition to this ration to keep them in good shape in terms of health and reproduction.

Boars

Male pigs (boars) should not be given a lot of feed. If given more feed, they tend to put more weight and this compromises their fertility. A boar should be given 3 to 4 kg of feed per day. Some farmers give less or even starve them in order to reduce fattening. Give them clean water at all times.

COMMON MISTAKES IN PIGGERY FARMING.

Hello my dear farmers, piggery farming is a fast growing venture. However, below are costly common mistakes that we tend to make.

1. Breeding stock.
We are well aware that breeding stock (Parent stock) is never cheap, however we farmers still are still stuck to cheap poor quality pigs that do not grow however much you feed them with too good feeds
Good feeds on poor quality breeds equates to loses.
Poor quality feeds on good genetics equates to loses as well

2. Numbers over Profitability.
Most of us are still excited because we have many pigs forgetting to focus on farm profitability. Well managed 5 sows with 1 boar are much profitable than poorly managed 20 sows with 2 boars.

3. Feeds Vs Weight gain Vs Time.
Some of us are not giving pigs the recommended feeds to achieve a given weight at a specified period of time. For example we achieve 87-100kgs by 20-24 weeks by feeding them almost 2.5kgs of nutritious feed mixture per day,

Some farmers give their pigs 1 kg of feeds for 10 months to achieve 80kgs while others give 2.5kgs for 5 months to achieve 100kgs.
Feeding Ad lib helps farmers reach market weight as early as 16 weeks.

4. Allowing Visitors Fwaaaaa
We have turned down lots of money because individuals wanted to visit the farm.
Visiting the farm isn't bad, however your visitors will surely bring pathogens and swine fever to wipe you out.
Decide do you want to do Agritourism or agribusiness.

5. Shelter
Pigs must be kept is a place cleaned twice a day at least. Leaving animals in dirty and wet environment allows growth of unwanted diseases and pathogens. Explains why piglets are stunted and are ever shivering.
Poor housing is equivalent to Negative profits.

6. Clean water.
Purchase automated nipple drinker jerrican if you cannot pipe the whole farm to provide 24/7 clean water (70-80% of a pig contains fluids)

7. Be Humble to learn
In every venture for that matter one needs to humble themselves and learn from those that know what to do. You may have the money when entering piggery farming but you'll surely come out with nothing if you do not invest in knowledge or someone who knows the venture.

8. Understanding Animal Nutrition.
Feeding pigs is a technique not a principle. For example;
Piglets require more protein, while breeders require moderate protein in their meal. 70% of the meal must contain some carbohydrates. Lactating (breast feeding) sows require enough: water, protein and carbohydrates among others.

When pigs eat less, reduce feeds served to them to avoid wastage and create hunger to increase feeds intake.

When more feeds are consumed, provide the recommended quantities and unlimited clean water 24/7.

9. Lack of Wean to finish plan.
A majority of my farmer friends want to sell piglets. They do not have the plan to produce fatteners for pork. This simply means that failure to get market for their piglets leads to malnutrition due to lack of a proper and enough nutritious feeds for the animals.
In this case you risk closure of total having stunted pigs that do not grow.

10 Quality.
To produce quality animals, you must invest in quality breeds, nutritious feeds first and foremost. Maintain the number you can afford to give your best. Its better to have 10 well fed pigs than to have 100 malnourished pigs with 0 body score with no profit.

On marketing, quality breeds that have been well fed will always market themselves, everyone loves quality pigs

Life Cycle of a Market Pig

The life cycle of a market pig is very fast paced and always changing rapidly. On average, it takes around six months for a pig to reach market weight of 120kgs to 130kgs.

It all begins at the farrowing stage. Farrowing is the term used to describe a female pig giving birth to a piglet which typically weighs 800g to 1.4kg.

Gestation (pregnancy)
114 days — (3 months, 3 weeks and 3 days)
• Gilts (female pigs) reach maturity and are bred at 170 to 220 days of age.
• After delivering their first litter of pigs, gilts are called sows.
• Gestation (pregnancy) is about 114 days, or 3 months, 3 weeks and 3 days.
* Sows nurse piglets until they are weaned between 21 to 28days

Farrowing (birth to weaning)
21 days — (3 weeks)
• Sows and gilts are moved to a farrowing barn when ready to give birth (farrow).
• Usually, a sow or gilt will have 10 to 14 piglets per litter.
•Creep feed may be introduced in small portions to help piglets adapt to solids post weaning.
• Piglets weigh 5 to 7 kgs at weaning.

Nursery
42 to 56 days — (6 to 8 weeks)
• After weaning, piglets are moved to a nursery or to a wean-to finish barn and are housed with piglets from other litters.
• Piglets are fed a corn/soybean meal diet, eating 0.6 to 1.8kg per day.
•Farmers should walk through the nursery pens routinely to make sure the pigs are eating regularly and adjusting well.
• In this phase, pigs grow to 22 to 28kgs.

Growing and Finishing
115 to 120 days — (16 to 17 weeks)
• Pigs are moved from the nursery to a finishing barn to accommodate their continued growth. If pigs are in a wean-to-finish barn, they remain there.
• In the grow/finish phase, pigs consume 3 to 4kgs of feed daily.
• A diet typically consists of corn and soybean meal, as well as vitamins and minerals to ensure proper health and growth of the pigs.
• Pigs are single-stomach animals and require two or three meals a day. Divide the food into two portions, feed the pigs half in the morning and the rest in the evening. Do not feed your pigs only once a day because once they had their fill they will only play with the rest of the food, stand in it and soil it.
• At about six months of age, the pigs weigh about 120 to 130kgs. and are then market ready.

Major Reasons Why your sow is not conceiving or Has Small Litter Size�����
�️The profitability of pig farming is determined to a large extent by the reproductive performance of the sow which is governed by two factors; litter size and number of litters each sow produces each year.���
�️A sow reproductive success is judged by her litter size( number of piglets/ farrowing), Number of services before Conception (conception rate)and Mothering abilities ( temperament, weaning weight & weaning rate)���
�️Conception rate is the most critical parameter in reproductive performance and is reduced when:
�The sow is too fat.
�It is the animal’s first heat cycle especially if bred early
�Poor detection of heat and mating management.
�The boar used for service is too young.
�The boar used for service is overworked (used for more than five matings a week).
��������
�Note that:
Gestation length =114 days.

Lactation length = 28 days.

Weaning to oestrus = 8days.

Total = 150 days.

Potential = 2.4 litters/sow/year.

Average piglets born alive per litter 14.

⭕Therefore, Target number of piglets / sow / years = 28.

Professional Cleaning Benefits

If you’ve been considering hiring a company for professional cleaning services, here are some reasons that might sway you to do so:

You choose the cleaning schedule
You set the days, the number of days and perhaps even the time the cleaning crew will clean your home. You won’t have to worry about making the time yourself or when you will get around to it. You’ll be able to count on having a clean house without life getting in the way.

Pros will do it well and do it right
Cleaning companies hire people who know what they’re doing and who get the job done right. They use the latest products on the market and are mindful of your family’s welfare when choosing cleaning supplies. Another plus is that you don’t have to buy cleaning products anymore.

Reasons To Invest In Pig Farm Business In Nigeria

grower pigs

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 you 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 6 months 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 10000 Naira(BIS and DSTV compactmoney!!!) and a grown pig can sell for as much as 70,000 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.

There are so many benefits of pig farming but this article covers some of the most catchy few.

If you have not read my other article on how to start commercial pig farming business.

To be successful at commercial pig farming, here is a list of different domestic pig breeds.

So, let’s get started.

Table of Contents [hide]

Benefits of pig farming
1. Pigs have the advantage of being prolific breeders:
2. Pig Farming is a very Lucrative business in Nigeria
3. Pigs have a faster growth rate
4. Pigs have a high food conversion ratio
5. The setup cost and management of commercial pig farming business are easy.

Summary
Benefits of commercial pig farming business
Benefits of pig farming
1. Pigs have the advantage of being prolific breeders:
Yes, that’s correct. Commercial pig farming is beneficial due to the fact that pigs are prolific breeders.

A single pig has the capacity to give birth to as much as 10 to 12 piglets in a single birth, making it one of the most reproducing livestock in the world. They can also produce 2 litters/year under ideal pig management practices.

With this kind of reproduction rate, you can be sure of doubling the number of pigs in your farm within a short period of time.

2. Pig Farming is a very Lucrative business in Nigeria
Pig farming in Nigeria is one of the most lucrative and profitable livestock businesses anyone can think of.

Most people who have started the pig rearing business have seen so much success already.

It’s saddening anyway that despite the huge profits obtainable in owning a Piggery, many Nigerians are still overlooking this goldmine.

While many who engage in pig farming do so as a part-time business, a lot of people are ignorant of how it works.

If you can engage in this business fully, you are sure going to smile your way to the bank very soon.

3. Pigs have a faster growth rate
When compared with other livestock in the same category, you will discover that pigs have a faster growth rate.

Fatteners (piglets you’re raising for meat) can reach marketable weight within six to eight months.

Because of this, you can be very sure of making profits within a short period of time. Of course, with the best pig management practices.

See what these researchers have to say about the growth rate of pigs in this pig farming pdf.

commercial pig farming business 8
4. Pigs have a high food conversion ratio
Pigs have a very high feed conversion ratio/efficiency (FCR/FCE). This means pigs are able to convert more of the food they eat to body flesh and weight.

They have this advantage over any other class of meat-producing animals with the exception of broilers chickens.

Pigs eat almost anything. They feed on forage crops, spent grain from breweries, byproducts of grains from mills, and garbage.

Isn’t it incredible how this animal is able to convert all of this useless stuff into nutritious meat?

Pigs also have processed meals you can purchase in the market too.

5. The setup cost and management of commercial pig farming business are easy.
Another reason why you should consider Pig farming is because it only needs a small investment in buildings and equipment.

The housing for pig is expensive to construct. A plot of land may just be okay to start a small scale piggery

commercial pig farming benefits
When you tell the pigs to say ‘Cheese!’ LOL

6. Pig meat (pork) is in high demand in Nigeria and in Foreign market
Trust me when I say pork sells very fast in the market.

The best benefit is you can retain almost 70 to 80% the of body weight of pig as meat after butchering.


Since pigs provide red meat which is a good source of protein, it has gained an excellent demand in Nigeria and in the export market too. China alone consumes over 50% of global pork production. So, you can see the high foreign demand.

Apart from providing red meat, Pork is very tasty too. I urge you to a bite soon. Thank me later.

Pork is very nutritious when it has high fat and low water content. It has a better energy value than any other meat. It is also rich with vitamins such as Thiamine, niacin, and riboflavin and is the world’s most consumed meat.

7. Commercial Pig products
If you are into commercial pig farming, you will benefit from producing several pig products or sell to producers.

They include; pig fat, skin, hair, and bones used to make some luxury items.

The chemical industries have an increasing demand for pig fat. This is because, it is used for the production of paints, soaps and other chemical products.

In addition, other processed pig byproducts like ham, bacon, sausages, lard, pork (meat) have good market worldwide.

7. Commercial pig farming in Nigeria creates employment
Commercial pig farming in Nigeria can create employment and help the financially weaker sections/communities.

Pig farm managers, cleaners, veterinary doctors, drivers, etc. are required to run the piggery efficiently.


This creates employment for the local dwellers and contributes to the national economy.

9. Pig dungs from pig farms are used as manure.
Another amazing benefits of big farming is that pigs produce manure commonly used for fertilizing crops and fish ponds.

A farmer who keeps pigs and plant crops as well can use the manure from pigs to fertilize his farm.

The manure from the pig will improve the nutrient of the soil and make it suitable for crops like maize or okra to yield bountifully.

The importance of pig farming can never be overemphasized. I hope this article spurs you to start enjoying pig farming profits.

Advantages Of Pig Farming In Nigeria
There are many advantages of pig farming in Nigeria. Here I am describing the main advantages of commercial pig farming business in Nigeria.

The reproduction period and system of pig is faster than any other livestock like cattle or goats.
Pig can convert more energy/nutrient into protein and as a result they grow faster than cattle, goats or other livestock animals.
Pigs can survive and produce more by consuming little amount of low quality foods. You can feed them roughage, kitchen garbage, agricultural waste etc. for the purpose of reducing feeding cost.
Need less amount of investment. Although, investment depends on the size of your farm.
Many Nigerians are experiencing malnutrition problem due to absence of sufficient protein in their regular food. By raising pigs, we can meet up this demand.
A large amount of daily necessary protein derives from plant and a little amount from animals. Animal protein is very essential for human body because of it’s high biological value and contains the building stones for good health and proper growth. By raising pigs, we can easily meet up this demand.
A sow generally give birth of piglets twice a year. Each time they give birth of 10 piglets (sometimes more). And the gestation period is not more than 115 days. So, you can go for large scale commercial production within very short time if you start with few pigs.
Weather condition and geographical location of Nigeria is very suitable for pig farming.
Very profitable business idea with great ROI (Return of Investment) ratio.
Starting Pig Farming In Nigeria

Try to purchase pregnant pigs. It not available then good quality piglets are OK. During purchasing piglets, ask the producer about their parents and their health information, production history and other records. Ask the producer if the pig has been vaccinated and dewormed or not. If not, ask him to do it urgently.
Housing
Housing is very important for commercial pig farming in Nigeria. A good house can keep them healthy, productive and free from adverse climate and all types of predators.

Housing also help the pigs to keep them warm during winter season and cold temperatures. It also help them to keep moderate temperature during excessive heat in summer season.

Learn more
Pigs are very sensitive to heat and they may become sick and die due to excessive heat or cold temperature.

Controlled and moderate temperature can help to maximize the growth and production from pig farming business. Pigs can be raised both in indoors and in individual stalls, pens or barns.
In case of raising the pigs in outdoor, they need special type of shelter during hot and cold weather. Keep sufficient space for feeding and bedding inside the house.

Learn more
Pigs generally like dry bed. So, always try to keep the house and bed dry. Also make a suitable system for protecting from extreme humidity, heat and cold.

For indoor pig farming system, make proper and sufficient ventilation systems in the house. Ensure sufficient flow of fresh air and light inside the house.

Make a proper drainage inside the house to keep the house dry. Good sanitation system inside the house is very important for pig farming. Make housing with good sanitation facilities so that you can easily clean the house.

Learn more
Feeding
Feeding good quality, fresh and nutritious food can make your pigs healthier and ensure proper growth. Good food also help to prevent various types of diseases.
