The beginning of anything always looks difficult but I believe with God on one's side overcoming is allowed. I started Daniel pig farms some 8years ago in calabar the home of pork meat consumption in Nigeria. This is my story . Follow us and learn how u too can tap from this money spinning venture. We started in a 12 room rented building and we were doing it 150 pigs per year and currently we have a new farm breaking out from the old one with intention to do atleast 1000 pigs from next year. Our permanent site structure is completed and we are moving our pregnant brood stock to the new farms

Can you drop your number sir, I'm an intending farmer and I'll love to know more before venturing into the business.

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).

are you still into pig farming sir? Pls contact me on 08062609708, I'll like to have a word with you thanks.

I'll like someone to recommend where I can get a certified pure Large White, Landrace and Duroc pig breed in Nigeria, and what's the average cost of a matured gilt of about 100kg weight.

Also do we have anyone who import quality pig semen into Nigeria for breeding? I'll really appreciate a recommendation. For WhatsApp or call 08062609708
