how much does one pig cost?

I am a pig farmer. if u need piglets or big pigs, contact me if u need. I stay in Oyo state

Nairalanddist:
Pig meat is not good for consumption cos it carries the highest amount of tapeworms

Pork not pig meat

this is a business i ventured into a while ago roughly 5yrs, it is a 24 hr. business and time consuming.
the main problems still associated with it is the mirage you will make money while doing it, definitely not that much,
reasons are, 1. lack of market exposure[2] taboo still associated with pig eating even when some fool are starving they will still not want to eat pig meat.
3] religious believes. etc
solution. [1] before venturing do your research and sort out your business account straight from the beginning.
2] garbage in garbage out, same as quality feed will give you robust result, PLEASE resist feeding cassava leftover to your pigs
3] the trick is sell your piglets at 3/4 months , we made more money selling early than wasting money to feed them for 1/2 years.
i can go and on but man is really busy now.
i have packed it in now but from experience next i start will be BIG PIG FARM.

Therefore feeding of 1 sow =
2kg daily * 25 Naira /Kg
= 50Naira / Sow / Day
For 1 month
50Naira * 30 days =
1500Naira/Sow/1 Month
For 6 Months
50Naira * 180 days =
9000Naira /Sow/6 Months
Feeding of 40 sows for 6 months =
9000Naira * 40 Sows =
360000Naira / 40 sows /6 months











Feeding of 60 Porkers for 1 cycle
per Kg of Feed = 25 Naira
It takes approximately 7 months for a weaner to reach slaughter weight of 80 kg
If 1 porker will consume 1.2kg of feed daily for the first 3 months
1.2kg * 25 Naira = 30 Naira daily/ Animal

1 month = 30 Naira * 30 days =
900Naira / Month

3 Months = 30 Naira * 90 days =
2700Naira / Animal / 3 months

Remaining 4 Months
1 porker will consume 2kg daily
2kg * 25Naira = 50 Naira / Animal / Daily

50 Naira * 30 days =
1500Naira / Animal / Month

50Naira * 120 days =
6000Naira/Animal / 4 months

Total cost of raising 1 porker for 7 months =
3 months ( 2700 ) + 4 months ( 6000) = 8700 Naira for 7 months

Hence cost of feeding 60 porkers is as follows
30 Naira daily per aimal * 60 Porkers for first 3 months
= 1800Naira Daily /60 Porkers
50 Naira daily per animal * 60 Porkers for last 4 months
= 3000 Naira Daily / 60 porkers

First 3 Months
1800Naira * 90 days =
= 162000/60 Porkers / 3 Months



Next 4 months
50 Naira Daily * 60 Porkers
= 3000 Naira Daily / 60 porkers

3000 Naira * 120 days ( 4 months ) =
360000 Naira / 60 Porkers / 4 Months

Total cost of feeding 60 porkers for 7 months =
3 months ( 162000 Naira ) + 4 months ( 360000 Naira ) =
480000Naira

Taenia abi? That's why they are dewormed regularly.

Caliph69:


You’re right. Pig business is expensive. Very expensive. Not trying to discourage anyone but that’s the truth. I am into it and i can tell you. All this his analysis is on paper. It’s different from what’s obtainable. I know how much i have put into it. And believe me for more than a year, i still handle most of the expenses from my money. The fact that good things don’t come that easy is what’s keeping me going. He never mentioned cost of the pens, water, Labour, transportation as you stated. And the feeding is not as cheap as he stated.

Sir you are right. Animal feed has generally become expensive. Plus pig can be quite destructive, you need to maintain their pen regularly. It's still a profitable business though.
Keep going Sir, there is always a point of breakthrough.

EmpresFIDEL:
pls where can I buy piglet in Delta state or anywhere

if you can come down IMO or Abia state you will definitely see

Prices varies according to location and bargaining power btw the seller/buyer.

PIG FARMING AS A LUCRATIVE BUSINESS IN NIGERIA



PROFITABILITY OF PIG FARMING IN NIGERIA

NOTE: this is mainly for pig fattening aspect of pig farming.

A simple way to judge whether pig farming is profitable is by comparing the pork price (pig meat) and cost of production.

Assumptions (NB; Based on the available contemporary experience on pig farming)

• Average daily weight gain of 0.4kg
• Average daily feed consumption of 1.64kg from weaner to finisher of (50kg live weight in this case)
• Target live weight of 50kg
• Resultant pork from pig as 80% of its market weight
• Average feed price per kg of diet= #150
• Selling price per kg of pork= #1100
• Other costs(drugs and vaccine) = #1500
Hence,
• The pig would require 50÷0.4= 125 days to reach the target market weight of 50kg
• Total feed consumed throughout growth (125×1.64) = 205kg
• Total cost of feed consumed (205×150)= #30,750
Therefore Total cost of production = total cost of feed + other cost
= 30,750 + 1500
= #32,250
• Resultant pork = 80% of 50kg
= 35kg
• Cost price per kg of pork = 32,250÷ 35
= #806.25
• Selling price of pork per kg = #1,100
• Profit per kg of pork = selling price of pork per kg – cost price per kg of pork
= 1100 – 806.25
= #293.75
Therefore, you make #293.75 for every kg of pork meat!!

Hello

Nice write-up and an encouraging one. Piggery can be a rewarding experience, but in the long term. I have some observations and additions:

1. You didn't include the cost price of the pig which is around 5000-6000 for weaners and 12000 for growers.
2. You didn't account for cost of accommodation which averages 200 naira per month per pig.
3. Cost of attendant isn't included.
4. U said it takes 125 days or 4 months to achieve 50kg. In theory it's okay. In practical, it takes an average of 8 months from weaner age to attain 60kg.
5. Pigs require around 3kg of feed daily esp as they grow older
6. The cost per kg live weight is 420 naira as at today in oke aro. Outside farms sell for 470 thereabouts. Selling at 1100 means you are slaughtering and you then have to add 1500 as slaughtering cost minus the whole wahala of transporting, marketing etc.

From this, the profit of 10,281.25 per animal (35kg X 293.75) will have been decimated.

Pig farming can be a very rewarding experience but it's not a get rich scheme; it takes time and lots of it. If you aren't passionate, you will run in and run out as a lot of people have been doing.

8 months from weaners... Haba... What r you feeding them? Vegetables or rice bran (its too much) ...contact me for a good feed formulae that won't cost you more than N65 per kg


Cost of weaners around is around 4000-4500 of which buying growers is much better.

Accommodation depends on where u raise ur pigs.. In this part of osun state, aspen that can house 5 pigs goes for just N100-200 per month.

Practically, yes. If you are dealing with the average breeds we have in Nigeria. If we talk about exotic breed, what will be the initial cost of the animal. If you decide to take the shorter route of feeding them to achieve greater weight in shorter time, 65 naira cannot feed them.

Please outline here what formula you use that will cost you 65 naira and how many kg it will come out as. Also what is the weight gain expected per animal? This is practical, not theory

Nice, but there are a lot of hidden costs that you failed to highlight. You only talked about food and drugs. What about labor, transport and other infrastructural costs? Please guide the newcomers well in your posts. We do not want to be misleading young entrepreneurs.

Those type of cost is not determinable, because of location
