This is responsible. But don't just replace the rocker arm actuator/ VTEC solenoid.
Clean first with carb cleaner.
Also check your pcv valve.

OK, thanks alot.

Good afternoon
I have a 2007 Honda pilot which I've been driving the last 4 years. Early this month I started experiencing loss of power after slowing down for bumps. Since it was close to service time I decided to do a full service; changed oil, oil filter, air filter and spark plugs. The loss of power still occurs whenever I come to a stop and is now accompanied by high rpms ( sometimes as high as 2000) and very serious vibrations.
I have a small scanner which gave 3 codes;
P0141
P2647
P0112

The mechanic has cleaned the throttle body ( twice , in place and removed) , the EGR , the MAP sensor and the manifold.
After each round of cleaning, the codes where cleared but after 10-15 minutes driving the vibration and high rpm return when I stop the car.
Please , any ideas?

THEPACIFIST:

Your list is obviously wrong; you even included maize!!!
The only items on your list I haven't seen grown in the west are ginger, tiger nut (don't know what that is), seseme seeds and gum arabic.

Hello.....

smokey12345:
pls i need guide..i have 600,000 and i think of going into piggery, its been on my mind for almost 4 years now

First, try read everything on this thread from page 1; there are lots of valuable information here.
Secondly, with what you have, you'll have to rent a place for starters. You didn't say where you're based but I hope there are places you can rent nearby.
Also, don't start with too many pigs; your N600k is going to cover all your expenses for like a year & piggery can be capital intensive.

I sent you a pm. Its nothing shady, quite simple really and something an ijesha man can relate to.

Actually, most of Iseyin is sandy-loamy. Also, Ibarapa and parts of Iddo all in Oyo state.

Tatia, your N2,200 per head monthly sounds about right, depending on what you're feeding with etc.

Yes, three grown pigs can share 8'x8' room but that depends on how big you expect them to be. At 70-80 kg, you're good to go but larger than that I'm not so sure.

For expected profit, you've almost finished the maths; you've arrived at a reasonable feed cost per head. Add your other variables and get total cost. For income, just multiply your target weight by N300-N350 per kg.

opolo:
Please, I wish to know if Custom will allow importation of Blood Meal. Thank you for useful info.

To the best of my knowledge, yes. I used to buy imported bloodmeal in Lagos but I haven't bought this year because of the exchnge rate. I don't think it has been banned though.

Healthilyea:
Please o, my dear farmers, what is this called n how is itveffectively treated? Also can a pregnant sow be treated?

Like Donnie said, looks very much like mange. You can treat your pregnant sow with any of the ivermectin range, depending on how advanced the pregnancy is. To be safe treat from 3 month into the gestation period or two weeks to delivery to avoid transfering to piglets.
For Ivermec, you'll only need to do this once as it stays in the system longer than the incubation period of the mange eggs. But for Tectin, Ivermectin etc you will have to repeat 10-14 days after first treatment.

But season5 had been out for long now
Or am I missing something
I stopped at where police arrested mike right in front of Racheal.Zane and Harvey is retiring from law

Exactly! I actually thought that was the final episode.

femu:
Our pork is very cheap compared to Ghana sef, in Accra liveweight is 12cedis(600 naira) even though we have maize prices at the same rates with Ghana.
Most of the modern production and processing accessories we need in our industry are all imported.
At the current rate, how many of us can afford to use Maize, soya and fishmeal which will make pigs grow faster?
As a farmer I shouldn't be at a disadvantage profession wise, i should be able to take vacation abroad and train my kids wherever i want.
We don't need to export when we have a population of 200m. The best economies in the world thrive because they have a high rate of domestic consumption of their locally produced products.
Exporting meat isn't an easy venture because of health standards.
Also catfish, chicken and beef all command higher prices than pork in the market.
We shouldn't remain at the lower end of the game.
Let's join hands!!!!

I agree, we all should be able to afford the good things of life. I only mentioned the export potential as a factor of the exchange rate, I'm fully aware of the stringent export requirements.
Anyway, my thoughts are more of economics which isn't the scope of this thread.

@ femu
While I'm not against your facebook campaign, I think equating the price of 1kg pork to $1 is a little flawed.
I'm not saying the pricing can't be better but you should be looking at the REAL value of the price (N280-N300) as against dollar value; some economists are actually asking for devaluation of the naira which indeed has its advantages (e.g nigerian pork will actually be cheaper in the international market so it can be an export item once safety standards are met).

dhejaavu:
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 ?

Hi. I'm in ibadan but I'm not sure what exactly you mean by "train". You can send me a pm though, I'll be glad to help anyway I can.
Cheers.

Can I get 30 hectares with electricity?

@Akhis : Reuben is right, its probably hernia. It won't affect the pig in anyway though, apart from the extra "load". Just leave it alone. don't try castrating it, might lead to complications.
Also, if you have options, don't use it to cross; you don't want to continue that bloodline.

Ok. Salt and multivitamins are about 0.5% each. Some people prefer injecting multivitamins @ 3-4 day intervals. Depends on you.
Check out the first two pages of this thread, Lagbaja gave a very detailed analysis of feed composition. Just substitute your fufu waste for the cassava.

akhis:
Hello House, pls is it possible to continually feed pigs with pkc and fufu waste? Fufu waste is that white waste that those women get when preparing fufu. I have been giving the pigs the combination and they have somuch been eating it but can I continue with the feeds?

If that is what is readily available in your location, yes. Just try and balance the diet(s). You'll need to add some vitamins to that diet. Depending on the age of your pigs, also consider some concentrate containing lysine, methonine etc. Probably fishmeal and/ or bloodmeal. Just small rations, based on age. Also, don't forget your salt.

Missfads:
Hello. is there any pig farmer from Ibadan here?

I'm based in ibadan. I believe there are others (can't rmbr usernames).

Yes it is.

endy231:
Please is the lease option still available?

You can put gilts/ sows together without any issues, as long as they are roughly same size so they don't bully each other when feeding. For boars, as long as they were raised together its ok too. But I wouldn't advise putting strange boars together. Also, even when raised together, 1ce you have removed any of them (probably to mate) don't return it. They will likeky see it as a stranger/competitor so fighting will follow. I'm not talking about play fight o; I mean serious "I won't leave you till you die" fight.

shangodele:
pls, is mating possible wia both sow nd boar are put 2geda in d same pen(i.e. 3sow & 3boar)

Yes, it is possible but I don't think its advisable. If your boars decide to fight instead of mate, u will probably end up with dead pigs.
The ideal is a boar & a sow but If you are having space constraints mayb u shld put 1 boar with 2 sows. Two active boars in the same room is asking for trouble.

@oluks.

Not necessarily. Farmland prices can be that low but depends on location and other factors.

kingjerrydan:
how much do you sell per tonne

LOL. This your post reminds me of that joke about nigerians answering questions with questions.
On a serious note, I think its easier if you just state your terms so that anyone interested can contact you.

@ archjoe.
The only time I've noticed pigs cough is after inhaling wrongly (feed, water) so I'm not too sure what to say. Cough is a bacteria so maybe you should try anti-bacteria. Better yet, consult another vet.
hope u've isolated the affected animals from the rest.
As per landrace,I don't have any weaners right now.

boluwajokosegun:
Ops , where is your farm in Ibadan. You mean you sell weaners for N8k in Ibadan ? That is great , i would like to pay you a visit

My farm is after egbeda. Like I said, I've been doing that for awhile. I'm not the only one sef so I'm wondering why you sound surprised.

@ Niyoga.
My farm is in ibadan. Presently, I don't have weaners sha till May.

I doubt if these guys are actually serious pig farmers.
If they think his terms are ridiculous, let them pay a visit to Obj's farm.
-i guarantee them the price will be higher. I've bought pregnant sows from there so I know.
-they will never allow anyone in. If you don't like the way they do business, walk away.
People should try and make their investigations before coming online making false accusations.
Fyi, I've been selling large white weaners for N8,000 for two years now so there is nothing new there.
