salami2008: I've got some questions for you based on your post above: 1. Breed- What breed do you have-which one do you prefer? 2. Feed- what do you feed them with? 3. Feeding Pattern - which feeding pattern do you use? Clarifying these will help a lot more new comers to relate with the guidance you are trying to provide. ...just my thoughts. 3 Likes |

AmazingSolutnz:In response to your questions, i will try to provide brief answers because its so wide and not cast in black and white. 1. Breed- I have cross breed Large White, Camborough and Hampshire on my farm. I don't have a specific breed as my favorite because many farmers capitalised on peoples' choice to exploit other farmers so as to sell what they have as exotic breeds but i will never advice any new farmer to start with local breeds because its a waste of time and resources on the long run. Many farmers will tell you they have pure breeds on their farm and they can't attain 60kg of live weight from birth at 5 months, so of what use is the pure breed without result but will deceive other farmers that they sell only weaners and doesn't fatten. 2. Feed- i feed my animals with compounded feed that contains pig body requirement in terms of balanced feed. My feed contains Maize,Soya meal,wheat offal, Cashew meal, Pkc and other additives in proportion to the age of the pigs. 3. Feeding Pattern - My animals are being feed twice a day- morning and afternoon with good clean water as priority. My advice to new farmers out their is that piggery is not all about getting pure breed alone its beyond that because if you get pure breed and didn't feed them quality feed you can't get any meaningful result even other farmers with not too good breed will outshine you in terms of weight gain and FCR. Please lets all ensure will improve on the quality of the breeds on our farms and feed them quality feed at all time to achieve our set goals and objectives.

Please who can recommend a diet for lactating sow And piglets that have just been weaned? We have tried all sorts of feed and the sows still look skinny. Boss I insists That piglets remains with sow until two months but it appears they're sucking the sows dry. |
Re: Pig Farmers Lets Meet Here by ifyain: 10:15am On Jul 27, 2017 |
I have read all these write up and can believe all the people here are saying, piggery is not all that a profitable business. I am into it now for three years and can not even break even. the cost is very high. I buy spent grain at 65K, PKC,45K, petrol,20k, salary 30k,others 20k that is 180k for a month. I have about 60 pigs in my farm. AS you can see the maths does not add up. I will need to sell at least 10 pigs every month at 30k each total 300k to make profit. the piglet mortality is very high in piggery and these guys here will not tell about it. I regret going into it. It is almost impossible to get quality workers that knows anything about piggery in Nigeria. If YOU are struggling and need to survive then piggery might be for you but if you are an investor I will advice to you to be very careful so you do not waste your funds like me. |
Re: Pig Farmers Lets Meet Here by vickifeanyi47(m): 9:31pm On Jul 27, 2017 |
ifyain:His many pigs did you start with at first? I bet 60 pigs won't take a full lorry load of spent grain in a month if that how you buy Which means you feed them more than the required ration per day. Piglets mortality occurs if not well handled .many factors contribute to that. Hygiene, breed, medication routine. |
