After spending years rearing pigs, i beg to totally disagree with you. I had this argument with my mom sometime ago and she told me she prefers in-pigs because of the short space of time etc. But let me make u understand that as a learner, its suicide to start with pregnant pigs when you have no knowledge of pig rearing. Its only good for experienced farmers but u know what?? No experienced farmer will buy an in-pig. Also its more expensive than rearing from weaner level. Breeds are very overrated, that is one fact i can stand upon from experience.

Even as you have left them with him, purchase some weaners and learn how to manage them and care for them

FashPet:
As a matter of fact if someone will really learn and acquire knowledge and relevant experiences in piggery, it is quite better to start with crossed or pregnant sows or such an individual mate the gilts personally.

A new farmer will learn the behavior of the animals while pregnant and at delivery period.

Also, he can also benefit from knowing how to take care of piglets and weaners and their behaviors.
There's nothing like starting from the beginning because such an individual will really have bulk of experience in a short while which will make him succeed.
It is imperative to know that in piggery, "the more the experience, the more the success rate and stories".

Have an amazing day all farmers.

@ FashPet thank you for the insight. I have decided to keep the sows with the friend selling them to me till they farrow, since he has the experience already. I will cater for the feeding and the other logistics. We have benefitted a lot from the contributions here.
@adeyinkapiggs thank you sir. This thread has been so helpful.

dynamix101:
Your post isnt clear. Are you saying farmers dont use maize and cassava??

I dont know any pig farmer who doesnt make use of soyabeans, maize and pkc in his compounded feed and who doesnt supplement with brewery waste and cassava peels to make up for the necessary daily feed weight intake of his animals

Thanks for the insightful information sir.My question is this it takes pig 114 days for its gestation how can one indicate a 1 month old pregnant sow,thanks in anticipation

omonnakoda:
Just discovered this thread. Wow!! great work.

Will need time to read all the comments.
I hope someone can answer a few questions.

What is the most common breed farmed in Nigeria in intensive settings and why?
Where do Nigerians source their stock from and how easy is it to import pig stock into the country.
It seems to me most people expect their pigs to be about 70-80 kg by the time they arrive at market but in Europe it could be double this. Is this an issue of breed or practice and why can't we farm these higher yield breeds

I hope my questions are not too many
