I want to start a pig farm n i need all d help i can get. i want to start with 10 sow n 4 Boer. I need to know d size of the pen n how much n where to get a brood stock

my novice idea,seems u want to go into breeding,u only need 1 boar,the 3 extra is just a waste xcept u plan to fattening and sell,and buying expensive weaners just to fattening them is a loss and if you are breeding kindly go for a good parent or any exoctic good breeds,u can buy a superior male weaner for them just no it won't cum cheap

Gudday house, pls i like to knw d dffernce btw breeders n fatteners, n i also learnt dat NB can also be use both wet n dry how is it use?

How do I get insemination fluid/doses? Where to get it. How much does it cost? Do you sell it at your farm? How to mix the content. Please, I need an urgent reply. Thanks and God bless.

breeders means pigs met for breedin purpose or for for production fatteners are breed meant for slaughter,so breeders are more expensive than fatteners

Ok thanks. But which is richer, cassava pills and cassava shaft (that left over when sieving the soft cassava. Yoruba call it paki) I mix it with pkc.

There is a place in Benue Nigeria where they rear pigs openly meaning the pigs are free to roam about, the pigs roam about and eat everything they see like grasses, grains even the people there digs holes outside their houses where children defecate (shit) so that pigs can eat it, Pigs are just everywhere and are big in size people only inject them sometimes, so I came up with the idea of selling these pigs to the eastern and western part of Nigeria where pigs don't roam the streets, cos the pigs here are very very cheap.

Sir. I think those pigs will be infected with tapeworms owing to their management system.

such practice are the reason y some people detest from eating pigs,such practice is bad,they will be highly infected with disease s, can't advice you to throw them away,house them in a big rooms,place them on antibiotics with the help of a Vet then after 21 days after treatment then u can sell them,or search for cotonou buyers,so far it bulk they will buy all at once with a good price like 320 per kg or even 350

cassava peels is beta but both are good,hope you add enzymes to there feeds so as to Aid digestion,what other source of protein do u use cos Pkc has more fiber so there shld be other source of protein

How do I get insemination fluid/doses? Where to get it. How much does it cost? Do you sell it at your farm? How to mix the content. Please, I need an urgent reply. Thanks and God bless.

my advice to you is to get train,nobody can teach u such on a plat form,even the guru in house barely use it,but I can encourage us to embrace it,guess 2 dose cost 5000,cos u will need to inseminate your sow or gilt twice,you can get the fluid in IB, and you must atleast 8 to 10 gilt or sow that must come on heat at once b4 you can buy cos they don't sell in small quality minimum order will be from 8 upward,or beta still get a superior boar to mate your animal

Please house, what are the prices for weaners and growers now, i want to start pig farming. Thanks.

no fix price,it depends on the farmer so breeds matter most u don't expect large white breeds to be dsame price with a concoction breeds, a good weaners price starting from 5k grower like 8k upward while breeder stock are more expensive

I use PKC and add some blood meal to it from abattoir. As per the enzymes you mentioned, wont that come naturally from the protein? I have been using the other type, maybe I will switch to the pill that you mentioned. As for weaners, what type of composition would you recommend that is also cheap?

@ Abbeyskyne Am interested too you can reach me with this no 08144015058

lagbaja: 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 70h% 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

60% of cassava ( I buy them Fresh, break them into chips, dry and store them)
30% pkc
6% blood meal
2.5%. Oyster shell/bone meal/ lime stone
0.25% lysine
0.25% methionine
0.5% salt
0.25% premix
0.25% bakers Yeast ( probiotic)

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 or continuos pig production.

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 @ Lagbaja please how many ton of food can use to feed 100pigs in stage by stage every month eg
Weaners how many ton monthly
Growers how many ton monthly and
The last stage as well thanks

Hello gurus in the house please how much is weaner breeds for fatherning and which breed is the best for achieving market weight in 7 month thanks
