I am into pig farming. Pig farming is one of the most lucrative arms of animal farming. Pigs are highly prolific, giving birth to an average of 10 piglets per farrow. Typically a pig farrows 2.5 times in a year. So in a year, a pig can give birth to about 25 piglets.

The biggest variable cost component in pig farming is feed cost. It accounts for about 70% of the total cost. Your ability to source your feed in a manner that is most cost effective is your success determinant. Typically, pigs have FCR in the range between 2 and 4 depending on the breed and on the feed formulation. FCR means feed conversion ratio. It is a measure of how much kg of feed an animal will eat to produce 1kg of live weight.

This the is formula I adopt for my pigs (Modified for Amino Acid Balancing)

50% of cassava ( I buy them Fresh, break them into chips, dry and store them)
30% pkc
10% GNC( groundnut meal) or SBM (soyabean meal)
6% blood meal
2.5%. Oyster shell/bone meal/ lime stone
0.25% lysine
0.25% methionine
0.5% salt
0.25% premix
0.03% (3g per 1kg bakers Yeast) ( probiotic)
0.1% H-Plus from Animalcare

The above feed formulation will cost you about N30 per kilo. 1kg of live pig is sold for between N280 and N300. If your pig consumes 3kg of feed to give 1 kg of meat, It means that it will cost you N90 to produce 1kg of live weight. Therefore you make a gross margin of N300 - N90= N210.

The other component of pig farming that is capital intensive is their housing. Pig housing has to be properly planed according to the number of pigs you intend to grow. You need to decide whether you want to do batch (all in all out) or continuos pig production (first in first out).

The biggest pig farm in west Africa is at oke aro , Agege. Another one is at Gberigbe Ikorodu. Accomodation costs at this locations are very high. I will advice you to site your pig pen close to where you can get cheap land and source raw materials at low price. Eg cassava plantations.

Technology application will greatly hep you in your pig farming. Fr example using, pig ni.ppl.es (see picture below) will ensure that you deliver constant and clean water to your pigs , it will also reduce labor requirements. You also need to construct a manure allay within your pig house so that when they poo poo, you can flush it away via the manure allay ( the manure allay is like a gutter).

please add toxic binders when using blood meal. thanks

pls which is the best for a starter in pig business: buying pregnant sows or weaners?

both are good if it's from a reliable source.but these days most farmers are not being honest. but it's best to go with an experienced farmer before buying any kind of pig. thanks.

Fattening means rearing them to market size...

Good idea from the last poster.But like how much will he budget for each weaner for 6 months? What is the profit expectation?

Good question..if you calculate money spent on one weaner monthly can be roughly 3k per month..and if you calculate it will look more expensive.but the logic is the effort used to cater for 30 weaners is the same with 50 weaners BT there is more profit from the 50weaners. I'll give a rough analysis... A weaner eats 3kg of feed to gain 1kg of weight.....assuming you spend 3k for rent,30k on feeds every month,15k for labour and 2k for medications..average cost for a month is 50k...note that someone who eats rice and beans and someone that eats garri and groundnut are eating cabohydrates and protein but the price varies.....same applies to pigs too.they just need a well balanced meal.and dont let anybody give expensive feeds with nice names cos you know the main aim is to maximise profit.feeds can be money consuming sometimes...

I did a rough estimation
That if you buy 50 weaner and fatten them for 6months and each pigs are able to be sold at N30,000..
If you subtract the the money used to buy the weaners,rent,labour and assume 10pigs died(which is not possible) then your profit at the end of 6months wouldnt be less than N690,000.

Note: this is a rough estimate and the profit is definitely more than that....
