Hello my fellow pig farmers. I'm new to the game.

I know my question might have been asked and answered in previous posts of this thread, but please bear with me.

What is the best species of pig for producing lean meat? That is, the one that's least likely to become fatty, as fatty pigs don't get sold at good price(so I heard).

And what is the nutrient requirements for castrated male growers(4 months old) to reach 70kg and above in 4 months of well balanced diet and good water supply.?

I know the question would have been answered, but this page is over 90 pages long, I will still go through it, I promise. But please give me a quick answer. Thanks a lot
..you can go for. camborough breed.. they have high fcr and lean meat...WhatsApp 08130948779 for more info

What is the disease you intend to treat? That will determine the type of drugs you will buy, is your pig a weaner or grower or an adult pig?

Talking abt the market for pig, can you please mention some company or individuals who can we sell the pig to become I just started my pig farm nd I need market for.
ops:
No prb. We are all here to learn.
What questions do u have so that som1 can answer and every1 benefit?
Some of the issues you should take of are;
1. Location; somewhere you can comfortably rear pigs without people complaining. Also, consider feed source and adequate water.
2. Construction; size of rooms with feed & water throughs. Don't forget waste outlet too.
3. Stock; buying your weaners/ growers
4.Care; Feeding & cleaning of ur pigs. Also, in the beginning you might need the services of a vet for consultancy (or if you have an experienced hand close by u can take advantage of that) till u r comfortable administering d different injections by yourself.
5. Market; this is prbly the most important but its not much of a problem.As of now, the demand for live pigs exceeds the supply so no worries on that count. Just don't forget that the prices are more or less fixed so b cost consious.

I have implemented such system on my farm which has helped save housing, labour and feed costs.

Videos below tell it a bit.

Please how long did it take your pigs to reach market weight and how much did you sell them for? Was the compound fenced? Which breed did best on foraging? How many pigs did you put per acre?

Re: Pig Farmers Lets Meet Here by Toshmoney(m): 7:19pm On Oct 24, 2018
[quote author=lagbaja post=24350770]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 70% 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 (Modified for Amino Acid Balancing)

50% of cassava ( I buy them Fresh, break them into chips, dry and store them)
30% pkc
10% GNC( groundnut meal) or SBM (soyabean meal)
6% blood meal
2.5%. Oyster shell/bone meal/ lime stone
0.25% lysine
0.25% methionine
0.5% salt
0.25% premix
0.03% (3g per 1kg bakers Yeast) ( probiotic)
0.1% H-Plus from Animalcare

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 (all in all out) or continuos pig production (first in first out).

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).



Nice Comments.

I'm really excited about Pig farming, and want to really have conversations about it with both buyers and sellers.

Besides, I have a very nice farm in Abeokuta with great breeds of pigs like landrace, Duroc, large blacks and some mix breeds, they are very fast growing with high turn over rate.

For lovers of neat farms, my farm is actually very neat.

You can contact me on the above numbers for more information as we have some for sale and also love to answer other questions you might have about pig farming
