*my2cents*

I like farmafric. He is a business man to the core. Thumbs up Oga.

@ Op:

Is this how this thread will die a natural death?.

Even when I kept calling AY severally without him picking up!

Is that how to make things happen?

@areafada2:

It all depends on your taste and your budget. There are many things involved in breeding pigs. Less stress in fattening. All you need in fattening is routine practices and at the end of the 7th month, you harvest and sell.

Breeding is a different ball game. You don't automatically have your expectations met. I saw a big sow(like 70kg) in a big farm yesterday and the sow gave birth to just one piglet after eating and drinking their food for almost 4 months. Some can have moralities after farrowing, the mother may even die. Pregnant pigs eat a lot and you will need competent hand in administration of drugs so that they won't be adversely affected. Taking care of aggressive dam(mother pig) is not easy. Piglet teeth nipping, iron injection, deforming, antibiotic administration may need alittle more care.

All this are simple things if you are knowledgeable or have a competent attendant. But if not, please have a second thought and choose the former.

All will be well.

Go start your biz!

May be you should explain what you mean and. Give examples

sunroxus:
please house i wish to know the cost implication of setting up small poultry feed mill where to source for materials and other relevant information. thanks

The way you wrote this your post, Hmnn, it is not catchy atall. 43 views and no comment. I feel reluctant to even reply this kind of post.
* try and improve, please*

Next time, try to write what you know about what you are asking. It's like you want people to give you all the info here. Majority of info is purchased either by cash or by experience.
You may even decide to write a wrong information, that will catch the attention of people that have the right info and they will reply.
Remember, everyone wants to be heard.

About poultry feed mill. Go to a feed mill, make friend with the driver, tip him and you will get majority of your answers from him. If you go to the manager, he/she will not help you. Nobody wants rival!

*my 2 cents*

zonga:

Post your location and what you think is lacking around you and you will get lots of comments and advice even from people on your street here.

Just do it.

It is now time for people that wants to dig earthen ponds for their fishes to start doing so now before the rains commence.

Pls how can one get land for farming or agro processing in Ondo state, either lease or outright buy

Location in Ondo state?

I like this concept. I hope this is not an extension of the Nigerian Police. If it is, people will rather avoid this thread than avail it.

Massive respect,

gerona:
Snail Farm is what I really have desire for. Maybe others will follow subsequently. Comments pls.

On what scale, do you want to start?

Small scale?
Medium scale?
Large scale?

oluks05:
Pls how can one get farmland for lease or buy in Ondo state?

It depends on where in ondo state.
Farmlands are owned by families. So you go find the key menbers of the family and negotiate, then pay and start farming. It is as simple as that.

You do it yourself or through someone that is trusted. But you know that nothing goes for nothing. Even if your trusted agent/ relation helps you get it, you will still settle him or her in kind or cash so that you can gain credence.
I think I needed to add that because some people are so unpleasant and unrealistic.

*my 2 cents though*

sharonbolly:
Yes and you are safe if you need further enquire text or call me

Madam, you have no contact details on your profile.

iraycom:
please someone should help me with these questions

1. where can i get bitter cola to buy in large qantity
2. how much will 50kg of bitter cola cost
3. when is the season of bitter cola
4. how do you store bitter cola

You can get bitter cola in ondo state. Many hausa transporters load colanut in small J5 buses to the north. I know of Akure, Owena, ikare axis.

It is the business of old mamas in our place. *smiles*
Are you really prepared for kolanut wahala?
But it is a money spinner. I don't know how much 5okg is sold o. But I know that it is usually sold fresh from the farm. You will be the one to remove the pod and wash it and embalm it.

If not, your profit margin woun't be wide.
But if you are ready, you will enjoy the business. I can't remember the its season now but I think it's around year end and this time.

If you are really interested, check my details and contact me, I can take you to mama ikare. *laughs*

@sharonbolly:

Where is your hatchery location?

It is not too small. Start with what your budget can accommodate.

Sincerely.

Where is the location of your company?

michelism:
G. Morning the house. The Unbeatable, please I need your help on this.I am ready to go into Agric and I have three plots of land(all fenced) at Ikorodu, Lagos. Am also in possession of at least #500,000 to start but I don't want to waste it with my inexperienced state.
Please help.

Ogami!

Don't worry about inexperience. There are many people I know on this forum that can help you start up well. It's just that we also have people that are only interested in your money. Please don't declare the amount you have again. It may bring you more foes than friends on a faceless platform like this. For security reasons.

Your money is not a major factor here but yourself. What you can invest in is in you. You determine it yourself. Apart from that I presume your land is in a residential area abi?

Big farms are usually not in residential areas but you can start with what you have. When you are enlarged, you will go to a bigger place.

What I will ask you is, considering your work and family and pleasure time, what agric business do you think you can do?

I think we can start from there.
Or ask your wife what agric business she thinks you can do. I think a better answer will come from her. I think she should be able to analyse you better than yourself but if not? No problem.

Your reply please?

Pigs are sold per kg/live weight. Go to reputable farms and tell them you want the pigs as parent stock to start your farm. They should be able to give you a good breed and live weight here in akure ranges from 350 naira to 800 naira. It all depends on what the seller wants to give you.

Personally, majority of my pigs are breeder pigs. Pigs that you rear so that they can produce more piglets for you. For sometime now I dint sell because I want to use them to expand my sow line. But when I see someone with the desire to have that my kind of pig. I sell and I don't sell it cheap because I give quarantee on my products since I know what I concort there. * laughs*

It's all about the bonding between you and your animals. I can predict what they can produce. This is not making mouth.

Why do you think obasanjo sells his weaners for 30, 000 each. It's because he knows what is in them. I have pig breed that farrows 11 at her first farrowing and it keeps increasing according to the law of genetics until it's forth farrow.

With all this my talks, I stand to be corrected if I have anyone with an outstanding result and I know there are many better than me.

All what I am trying to say is that there is no fixed price for pigs but I know it is sold according to its live weight.

Sincerely.

The cost of your parent stock is dependent on your taste. What do you want?

Pure breed?
Cross breed?
Polluted breed?
Local breed?

Pure breed is expensive. Cross breed also is expensive. Pig farmers with integrity will tell you the difference. Just like the ibo men will tell you the difference between milo and bournvita. To the buyer they may be thesame but to the seller they are very different.
I once bought a pure breed boer for 20, 000 and bought thesame size cross breed for 9,800 naira in akure here. They look similar but they are very different. Your taste is the major thing when you are buying your parent stock.

I will continue shortly.

@eddy spice:

My piggery does not have fowl smell. Fowl smell comes when you do not manage water well not their feaces. Pigs like to wallow(swim) alot. If you provide wallow, make sure you change it daily. It is anaerobic decomposition of waste that causes bad smell. So when you pack their feaces, make sure you spread it on the dung hill so that the water can drain and sun can dry it. It is harmattan time now, even if you don't clean your piggery for a week now it will not smell because everywhere is dry. All these my opinion is a factor of. Your herd population, stocking density and feeding material.
I stand to be corrected anyway.
