The business is very lucrative

But the moment you kill one eat Na you go kill the rest chop finish 😁😁😁
Pork, especially when fried, is one of the best meats there is.

I had never eaten pork until one night at school. The restaurant didn't have any meat, so I bought only egusi soup, then went to a bar (Omega Bar, Hilltop, UNN) to buy meat... I thought it was beef.

Then the guy told me it was pork. I didn't want to buy it initially. The guy told me that if I bought it and didn't like it, he would refund me. I got a few pieces. After eating it, I rushed back to buy more. Baba laughed at me, eeh.

Lol, I regretted not eating pork all these years. Lol.

Thank you. Almost giving up on mine. 🤣
another simple advice, if the price is not good at Ur current location, U can make inquiries about other states...

As long as U are selling up to 10 at once, you'll get buyers on standby waiting for U...

That's the most lucrative business here in Benue state, so pigs goes as high as 750k, they also use it for bride price payments here .

The business is good, they don't usually fall sick, treatment is once every 3-4 months...

They eat almost anything U offer to them...

Their pregnancy is usually 3 months and 3 weeks, and they can give birth to up to 10...

Make sure U keep enough money to feed them, also do small swimming pool for them... They don't like heat.
..but they say pigs survive in a dirty muddy place or environment..they like dirtiness

They like dirty, but too much of it makes them sick... U can build a small pool where you'll be changing the water every 4 days...

First business I ever did lol 😂😂 the story is crazy

From never eating pork to eating it once and liked it so much I decided to farm pigs lol 😂😂

Businesses like this are only profitable two ways

You become the end user. . You set up starts to sale rosted and fried porks.. You can employ people to sale for you in stands

Or very large scale farming.. Other than that don't waste your time
mrvitalis my man that year wink
Tell me more. I'm considering this in enugu but on a large scale (1000) minimum

If you do it large scale what about the market? I currently have 25 and I am worried about the demand if they get too many. I have the option of improving it if there's good demand.

Super markets, people also come from middle belt to buy if you have large scale

Where is your location and how much do you sale and their average weight
Re: How Lucrative Is Pig Rearing Business by Munashak: 2:15pm On May 04

Ask anyone in Gboko or Makurdi, even 1 month piglets is more than 70k...

Pig is the number one meat in Benue state, no restaurant cooks food without pork, and the smallest piece goes for 500 Naira....

Agric ones is around 2 million Naira..
Re: How Lucrative Is Pig Rearing Business by davillian(m): 2:57pm On May 04
Start by buying piglets to fatten
Then buy ready to cross gilts full ped
Then breed and fatten the piglets
Then start cutting middle men off to max profits
But you go buy feeds o

Thank you, my farm is in Osun state. I guess I will give it a go and see how it goes.
Re: How Lucrative Is Pig Rearing Business by Eberex(m): 3:13pm On May 04
It is very lucrative if you follow these rules

1. Be readily available all the time to check on your pigs
2. Do not employ attendants to take care of the pigs (they all end up starving the pigs, and also sell their feeds to buyers)
3. Your pigs need food daily, so if you are not there to feed them, then don't venture into it
4. Be sure to have enough capital to get their feeds on daily basis
5. Try and get a veterinarian to check on them from time to time
6. If you feed them well, they will produce healthy piglets
7. Never and don't trust any attendants you employ if you end up having one

Thank you

THIS KIND OF ADVISE IS THE TYPE THAT LURE PEOPLE INTO WHAT THEY WILL END UP REGRETING THEIR ACTION IN LIFE. YES PIG FARM IS A GOOD BUSINESS BUT NOT JUST AS THIS ONE ABOVE ME JUST QUOTED IT. IMAGINE HIM SAYING THAT YOU TREAT THERM ONCE EVERY 3-4 MONTHS, IMAGINE HIM SAYING THAT PIG EAT VIRTUALLY ANYTHING. WITH ALL HINESTLY, IF YOU FOLLOW THIS ADVISE YOU WILL FALL AND SCRACH LIKE ROCK OF GILBRATAR..

PIG BUSINESS IS GARBAGE IN GARBAGE OUT, MEANING THAT IF YOU WANT RESULT FROM PIG FARMING, YOU HAVE TO MAKE ADEQUATE PROVISION FOR THEIR FEEDING WHICH DOESNT COME CHEAP NOW, MEDICATION, HOUSING, WATER, SECURITY.

YOU MUST BE HARDWORKING, TIRELESS, SHAMELESS ETC.

One of the most lucrative business to do but the person has to be patient. Also he or she needs to understand how the business works. You need a very big space to accommodate em and you just be available at all time. It's a business that requires your maximum attention even when you're sleeping

Snake farming? I was once thinking of starting a snake farm with ball Pythons. My mom said she won't come to my house again😀

Someone recently offered me a 100k/month to manage his new farm with 15 animals but I have to be staying on the farm for 24 hours in 6 days a week.
I think it's a lucrative business venture.
15 different types of animals? Can you please name some of the animals?

Please how lucrative is pig rearing business?
What are the challenges?
Location is Ogun State
Very lucrative. Fast growth, high birthrates (a single pig can have 13 piglets in one birth - pay attention to the chest of the female, the number of tits determines how many issues they can have at once). Mortality rate is very low too, but they eat like termites.
An advice, try and add some salt to their meal too. Makes them have low fats.
Re: How Lucrative Is Pig Rearing Business by omode2(m): 4:47pm On May 04
Don't let these people deceive you many are not into piggery business. They don't tell you the challenges you will face which is quite enormous and overwhelming. The feeding itself will gulp 70% of your capital. Unlike cattle, the demand for pigs is not large , and the supply its much. What about housing, you will spend a lot.

that's the business my sis is currently doing, I'm speaking from experience.... When I say they eat anything, I don't mean U should give them rubbish... They don't select food like other animals...

And as for the treatment, U can ask any vet, it's every 3 months, U deworm them and give them multivitamins...

Then separate the pregnant ones...
