thawgy:
well I had a 300 capacity sty about 2 yearsagfo and it's still existing in Baruwa ipaja lagos and I rarely sold above 220 per kilo, in my over 10 years of rearing I havehad very large pigs and none ever weighed above 140 kg so I don't think it's very wise to rear a pig beyond 2 years if you are not breeding with it and then mathematically speaking a pig will have to weigh 200 kilos at 250 per kilo to go for 50k.. I hope I am wrong so I can go back to pig farming though

I guess most pig that weighs less than 150kg should be indigenous exotic breeds weighs more than 150kg I also think the management system used contribute to the productivity and it's feed conversion ratio.... My reasons tho.... I might be wrong

This is from a post i made some years back

My 10kobo advice to those who wants to go into piggery. I have been reading the comments here for sometime. But I think I should put in my advice now. Some comments here are hilarious and do not depict reality. However I will try to list somethings that I think should be done.


1. A pig farmer is first a cost manager, if not your expenses could run beyond ur plan and u cant stop at that point.
2. 80% of ur time should be spend to drive down the cost of ur feed. Research online for chepeast source of food and combinations that gives best yield.
3. The greatest challenge you will get is cheap source of protein for ur animals. Remember even humans in nigeria do not have enough protein not to talk of animals
4. Start small. This can never be over emphasis. It is not about ur cash availability rather it is about learnings. You definitely need to learn. But why do you want to learn with ur entire cash. The man that wants to start with 25 sows you need to watch it. Do u have enough experience to handle such. If 25 sows gives birth to average of 5 that gives you 125. Do u have d experience to handle such numbers. When they turn to grower cost of feeding will nearly drive you mad. Also without experience u may loose majority of them.
5. Go to a training school or do attachment somewhere. You cannot leave ur business in the hands of some other people who will tell stories that touch the heart because you dont know. Lagos state government had a 3month training school in oko oba that is not costly but allow you to manage it with ur other activities.

6.specialise in pen design. Cost of construction of pen is also one of the things that drives farmers mad. Go online and research cheaper method of construction buy picture books online that teach DIY they are readily available just Google it. Amazon used to deliver books to me in nigeria some years back and they are very cheap 18dollars or so and it gets to u withing 3wks. Do it yourself cos cost is important. I saw the pen design posted by someone that is a costly way to build pig farm. Imarging if you have 2000 animals how many of such will u build.

7. To manage cost or to be efficient and get rich thru piggery requires you to run a large pig far. Cos the energy and time invested in running a farm with 200 animals will not be much different from running a farm with 2000 animals but the cost saving different is huge.

I hope I have made a bit of sense with this my posting. Remember ur goal is to be an elite farmer not backyard one.

I would like to connect you to people in benue but I would not link up with someone on the internet and I assume you're are the same way.

so I will tell you to find your way to benue, they have a university of agriculture with an improved breed there. there also is an agriculture research institute in yandev where they breed foreign species that one of the old governors imported.

so do your due diligent research.

now on another issue, I have just sent you an email, kindly respond to me as I will like to ask you a few questions.

thanks
