House please I need some sound advice. This is my situation. I got a 3m naira grant to do piggery. I'm a programmer currently working at Yaba with some flexibility in time.I live at Allen, Ikeja. I'm starting from zero, I don't have any farm land anywhere or experience raising pigs. I just want to invest the money on pigs.

1. where and how do I find a pig farm to rent? and what location in Lagos would be suited for such activities. How much should I budget for this?
2. If My goal is to be able to sell pigs monthly, how many weaner pigs should I start with per month and where do I get the weaners from and at what costs? as a starter how much should be budgeted for this? which breeds would you advice I go for with reasonable costs
3. How much should be budgeted on feeding and what type of feed combination is good for maximum yield of the pigs for fattening
4. Would I require the services of a Vet and what drugs and vaccines would the pigs need during their production cycle? how much on this
5. If after some cycles, I want to move to a permanent site, what location is advised to buy land and build a pen in?

with the amount of money involve you are good to go,1st u need to lease a pen cos piggery biz deal with a lot of patience, renting few rooms might not help ur budget or capital,2ndly u don't need xpensive breeds to kick start,just get normal large white breeds which is rugged n they convert easily, start with let say 20 female weaner,then buy 1 or 2 exotic male boar,then buy 20males for fattening purpose,largewhite breed might cost u Ntin less than 8k for good breeds It depend on the farm u buy them from sum1 told me he recently buy 6k from a farm,so it depend on location,3rdly b4 u site a company It must be near raw material,so find n choose a location were u can source for cheap materials to feed ,why I don't like oke aro cost of pen expensive,u might have problem of expanding,u don't get any free or cheap materials except u buy,then they charge u 20naira on each kilo u sell,but with ur money u can get a farm land n build a pen worth 2m then spend 1m of pigs n feeding,u can start with just 20breeders only if u own ur pen,but wen renting a pen u start fattening as well,piggery don't require much medication,with that money I expect u to manage d biz urself,the most important thing is go for training n u must be patient n have passion for it,so get train n make research of were to site ur pig farm,once u get trained u shld able to no the right n cheap source of feed to use for ur pigs,sum1 in lag might be using gala waste,but sum1 in ibadan might not have access to it,so ur location will determine what u will use,y I said u don't need foreign or exotic is because u are producing for slaughter purpose but don't go n buy runt ooo,so get train 1st,the exotic male will improve there offspring

Good evening to all the farmers on this thread and thank you for being there for us.
Am an undergraduate and due to financial constrain am looking forward to starting a pig farming with the aim of buying when they are two months old and selling them after 4 or 5 month making it 6 or 7 months old.
Please is there any sense in this and will be able to make a little profit from it.
Looking forward to your response.

there is sense in it but u no say piggery biz require capital n numbers,let assuming after 5month u make just 150k as profit den divide it by 5 months u only earn 30k per month so u ask urself does it worth the stress let assuming u are making 6k profit on each pigs,just imagine how many pigs u need to feed b4 u make more profit, and again u might av challenges of buying good weaners,so venture into it wen u av enough capital,or start small by breeding n u source for there feeds n expand gradually but note u won't make any income in your 1st year

Let me help you answer some of your questions

3m is very good to start a piggery business (starting small o).

1) oke aro is a good place to start. You can rent a whole pen, half or rooms. I think a room goes for 2,800 - 4000 depending on the size.

2) breeds matters a lot. You can't start and sell every month with you capacity (finance and housing) you can sell every 3month if you plan well. You can start with weaners (foreign) which goes for 20,000 and some growers (foreign) which goes for 30,000. This will enable you sell at 3months interval. Also you need about to cross (foreign) I think it goes for 75,000-80,000. This will help you produce your own and aid your 3months interval without buying any pig after the first purchase.

3) feeding depends on the number of pigs you buy from the price list above. Also feeding as too much analysis you can get a nutritionist to help you. Basically, you need spent grains and concentrate.

4) as a starter yes you need a vet. When you start you will be told by the vet drugs to us and the prices.

5) you asked too much questions you don't need at the moment. It is good to think of expansion but I think it is advisable to start, learn and adapt before thinking of expansion. Some people step aside after 3month in the business. So be careful.

Finally piggery isn't bean. Be prepared for the business and rearing.

nice advice just that with that capital he shld able to build his own pen, very difficult to expand most farmers in oke aro do over stock cos lack of space or high cost of renting pen,u can't even plant like moringa or pawpaw to feed ur pigs,people with low budget can rent full or half pen at oke aro,but with 3m u shld able to own ur own farm,then go into it fully within 2years u will start smiling to d bank,but your parent stock matter most,most pipu start with concoction breeds,they find it hard to record any profit cos there feed convertion rate is low

Please how much is a well feeded 7 month old pig sold?

You have nothing to fear. I personally bought from the farm. I experienced same. The 0817 line is going and belongs to the wife. The man's number ends with 7595 and not 7295. Mr Adanlawo should correct the number. Nice and professionally managed farm.
