daxlasaint:


I have a friend who has been using wood and wire mesh to construct his pens for years without issues... it should work perfectly for you too... but try to use concrete flooring tho

Thank you so much. Pls where will the wire mesh be fixed after the pen has been constructed with wooden slabs?

My sows are giving birth at an alarming rate and with this comes the need to expand, and with a 9 inches block going for N200, I am tempted to use wood slab for constructing new pens. Please if you have used wood slabs in the past, or you still use it, kindly let me know how strong they can be for pen constuction. My plan is just to use it for like two years before I am financially stable to construct with block again. Thank you.

The size is 86/26 feet , it has 10/10 feet rooms 10 Nos, 5/10 feet rooms 9Nos for breeding and 2 hall of 10/20feet. Total expenses from foundation is about 1.1M. The ABESTUS is almost complete I'll send the current pix tomorrow.

S, how many sows and finishers can the house contain?

I drive a Honda Accord. 2001 coupe and I use 215/55/R16 tyres, but due to bad roads, am thinking of going for 215/60/R16 or 215/65/R16. Pls I need your advice.

How much do you sell your pregnant sows and what breeds are they? Where is the location of your farm?

If you are outside Lagos and you sell Pigs for slaughter, we can still do business. Send me a PM.

Joseph 1013, let me have your phone number. Thanks

Dhejavu, do you want to buy pigs for breeding, or matured pigs to kill?

I really appreciate Mr Femu for the advice. I was able to get one or two things from ur message. I rhink networking is so important in finding buyers. Thank you.

Marketing is the biggest problem we have in pig farming. It may be earlier for those in Lagos for obviois reaaons, but inIbadan for instance, it is still hard to sell for above N270. Iwas shockedthat a kilo now goes for N350 inLagos and N320 in Ogun, but last week, I couldn't seel six pigs for N270. I think we should talk more on marketing since all our efforts will make no sense if we don't get good prices for our pigs.
