My Pig Farm Journey by ChineduObinna(op): 1:41pm On Jan 03, 2023
So we started off a pig farm in Ịdị Ose, after Ọjọọ in Ibadan some time in August., Bought some crossbreed growers for fattening and Camborough pure breeds (3 gilts) from a Dutch source, with a pure Camborough boar � from another source. The journey has been interesting �

Having studied Animal Science, this project has been interesting all the way.

Feel free to consult for any enquires(housing, stocking, feeding, treatment etc)
Re: My Pig Farm Journey by ChineduObinna(op): 1:49pm On Jan 03, 2023
The Pure breeds are 4 (3 gilts + 1 boar) : for breeding

The crossbreed 4 also ( to be sold for pork)

Today they're all over 80kg with the pure breeds pregnant, feel free to hit me up for your weaners by God's grace grin

I believe you are referring to the one for slaughter, we can do ₦1200 per Kg of life weight sir, while the pure breeds would be about ₦2000 per Kg life weight ( though I'll advise that if you're looking for pure breeds, you buy weaners/growers)

Hello! If there was a way a group of people can gather and agree to pay so and so money for the pig and share the meat, I would appreciate if you could let me know. Haven't really eaten pig, but I am interested.

What's the average weight of an adult pig?

Depends, anywhere from 70kg upwards for an intensive production system. And above 50kg for local subsistence methods.
Re: My Pig Farm Journey by ChineduObinna(op): 9:21pm On Jan 05, 2023
I will be uploading current photos of the pigs in their Progressive weights.

Was supposed to have slaughtered about 2 last month, but we were overwhelmed by our broiler processing and sales , and cattle processing and sales.

Don't they attack you? What if you fall unconscious inside the pen? Won't they eat you then?

You have a borehole on the farm?

I am not an expert or anything, but I think you should find a way of selling pig manure to farmers nearby, or even better open a farm nd use that manure to grow crops you will feed the pigs with.

No sir, they don't attack anyone, and I am wearing a farm boot with good grip on the floor so there's no falling or eating going on. grin

Yes the farm has a borehole

And we have pasture established for feeding our cattle and other small ruminants so the manure goes there, thank you for the advice

I formulate their feed actually, just like one would formulate feed for poultry or Ruminant concentrate

Apart from feeds, are their things that the pigs can eat to minimize cost of feeding?

I heard they eat pawpaw leaves.

Yes they eat pawpaw leaves, peels and even seeds, they eat a lot of organic rubbish actually, but you cannot reach market weight in 3-4months feeding them things like that
