What a wonderful thread. God bless the originator and all the contributors. Before committing a dime, get trained by a practising successful reputed farmer. That's what I can tell you from my read throughout the entire 82 pages

Let's face out all incorrect claims by farmers, and sustain the honest guys who are really doing the job. we can only do this by sharing our experiences like victorfada did; good or bad experience ....

Having read about pure breed and hybrid, nobody has been able to clarify how to physically differentiate between them .

If the weaner looks chubby and I price it 15k does that makes it a purely bred animal?

Because the mother farrowed 12-17 piglets, does that makes her a pure breed line?

Please let the pro's elucidate on this. I understand breed is important, there are other important factors to consider like feeding and management. But let's talk about breed as most newbies easily gets ripped off by that avenue.

Dynamix 101 spoke about a breed by the shongai farm for 8k, while tayo52 is of the opinion that breeding weaner should be above 10k. What's the justification for this?

How do I differentiate The Pure from the Local breed and the hybrid.

I am not in a rush, I m willing to go through the process of training and mentoring before venturing into the business.

I will call on any of the pro @ femu, dejia, eazeefix, dynamix 101, excelsior, muyiroro, excelleon, salami Kayode tayo52, Sunday ayadanlawo and others around Lagos and Ogun state to please give me the necessary support........

I hope to hear from you men soon. Thanks for the 82 pages of epistles, it worth the reading.
