gentlewind:


@tayo52 for those of us who are craving to get the new superior breed (camborough). How can one differentiate camborough from large white or what is the difference between the two? I will appreciate if you can add picture for the purpose of understanding. Thanks

tayo52:
that a full breed camborough weaners for sale whatsap me if interested strictly for breeding

eazeefix:
Are you the owner of these pigs or an agent?

tayo52:
not my farm,just trying to educate we farmers to get a superior breeds to boost there stock and the owner is a member of the group I belong,so y asking?

eazeefix:
I asked becos the owner is my brother and i am aware there is a waiting list. I asked him if he was the one sharing the pics and he said no. Is this Tayo of APPN?

tayo52:
some1 offer me a pen in Ijebu ode (mushin) don't no if we can join hand to rent it,22 rooms and cost of pkc there is 25k per tonne den brewery waste 18k per 5tonnes plus delivery if u don't mind

tayo52:
it depends on the quantity you want but strictly for breeding purpose 1 of them will cost u 25k can't guarantee u how long the stock we last cos na popular demand,u can cross breed the female with landrace or large whiteboar or use the boar to cross breed LW or LR ,then fattening there offspring with good feed and management I can guarantee u 80kg in 7 months or less

This question applies to all the gurus in the house, based on research a pig should reach min 100kg in 5 months but we don't seem to get that in Nigeria. 80kg in 7 months is not acceptable because it means more time spent and money . What are we doing wrong and how can we improve or do we have farmers who achieve 100kg in 5 months . If we do please share with us the secret.

Getting a pure-bred Camborough weaners can be difficult but not impossible. Like Tayo said, be careful so that they don't sell LW weaners to you as Camborough. My Camborough sows, mated by Camborough boars are pregnant, I will let you know when they farrow. I am going to sell some of their offsprings post-weaning.

if any farmer can even get 80kg in 7months they will be happy,how many farmer can buy 40k weaners as there breeders,how many farmer are using nipple drinker,how many farmers can use maize n soya xcept using a bi-product,if we can adjust and do this u can achieve it,a lady has a 7months boar that weigh 185kg,imported from UK wen it was a weaner,but we can't pay the price n u xpect 100kg in 5months,we still av a longway to go,now camborough Dat can even improve our breeds,how many farmer can afford it as there breeding stock both male n female?

It a combination of quality/ adequate quantity of feeds as well as genetics. Along the same lines, i hear of someone that imported his pigs from the UK at about N400,000 plus / pig. According to him, one of his males weighs about 275 kilos in a little over a year. All the females are approaching 200 kilos in 1 year. He sells his females @ N70,000 and males at N85,000 per weaner. Pigs whose generation have been in 9ja for many years are not likely to give you that kind of result even with good feed. With good breed and feed one can easily achieve 100 kg in about 7 months but the challenge is of course market price of pork. Being frustrated with the growth rate, we have started experimenting with pigs (presently large white) whose parents or grand parents are imported from the western world, in other words, they have verifiable history. My partner and farm manager tells me the growth rate (essentially height and lenght) is a world of difference with the same feed. The first 3 we bought (bought the offspring of someone who bought from Obasanjo Farms) are approaching 90 kg in about 9 months. We are careful about their feeding because we are using them as breeders. Don't want them to develop too much fat quickly. Our LWs should start giving birth in December. We recently bought from IART, Ikenne as well (they are already bigger than our concorted breed that is 2 months older than them) and will be taking delivery of another exotic breeds within a week or so. All of these is to enable us see the difference and create a variety of gene pool for the future. The challenge of our industry is largely finance, dedicated and knowledgeable employees and market. As entrepreneurs, we must continue to work on overcoming those challenges.

Thanks for the information, very enlightening, however I would like to see the females offered for 70k, I might want to buy some. I am also interested in exotic breeds, where can I get some?

You are right about cutting cost as when it comes to farming, it makes a big difference if the finance is there to do it the right way. Another question that comes to mind is since maize and soya could make a big difference in their feed, can the farmers not plant it since the price is not affordable on the open market.

Hello everyone, please who is kind enough to let me visit his/her farm in Lagos or Ogun state too observe the day to day activities on a pig farm.
