| 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) |

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 ![]()

How much can you sell a full grown up pig for? |
| Re: My Pig Farm Journey by ChineduObinna(op): 8:30pm On Jan 03, 2023 |
Rastafryrice: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) |

ChineduObinna: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. |

| Re: My Pig Farm Journey by ChineduObinna(op): 2:17pm On Jan 05, 2023 |
GabrielYulaw:An avenue to be explored |
| Re: My Pig Farm Journey by jmoore(m): 8:24pm On Jan 05, 2023 |
ChineduObinna:What's the average weight of an adult pig? |
| Re: My Pig Farm Journey by ChineduObinna(op): 9:18pm On Jan 05, 2023 |
jmoore: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. |

| Re: My Pig Farm Journey by ChineduObinna(op): 9:34pm On Jan 05, 2023 |
oskinrin:Renting currently. But you can consult with us for a design that suits your needs |

ChineduObinna: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. |
| Re: My Pig Farm Journey by jmoore(m): 7:02pm On Jan 07, 2023 |
ChineduObinna:What do you feed them? |
| Re: My Pig Farm Journey by ChineduObinna(op): 6:59pm On Jan 08, 2023 |
GabrielYulaw: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. ![]() 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 |
| Re: My Pig Farm Journey by ChineduObinna(op): 10:04pm On Jan 08, 2023 |
jmoore:I formulate their feed actually, just like one would formulate feed for poultry or Ruminant concentrate |
| Re: My Pig Farm Journey by jmoore(m): 9:35am On Jan 09, 2023 |
ChineduObinna:Apart from feeds, are their things that the pigs can eat to minimize cost of feeding? I heard they eat pawpaw leaves. |

| Re: My Pig Farm Journey by ChineduObinna(op): 2:20pm On Jan 10, 2023 |
jmoore: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 |
