HOW TO START A PROFITABLE PIGGERY FARM TODAY
A fully grown Pig goes for as high as N30,000
depending on the weight. Now Imagine for a year you are able to rear
hundred to maturity, you will be making N3 Million from the sales. If
you can take it higher - lets say like 2,000 pigs in year, you will be
talking of N60 Million hereConsidering
how fast pigs reproduces, it wouldn't be a very much big deal to come
up with 100 pigs in a year. Then, how do you go about setting up your
pig farm?
STEPS TO SET UP YOUR OWN PIG FARM
Below are the important guides
1. Secure a Breeding Ground — Depending on how you plan to feed your pigs, a plot of land may just be okay for small scale starting but if you can acquire a large farm land (from 5 acres) that will be better so that your pig can graze in the open and retire to the pen where they'd continue feeding and playing. Land is your biggest investment in this business. Once you have it, you're half way done.
Look for land in a rural area where you can get it cheaper. 1acre of land in a rural area will be from N200,000 x how many you want. Do your stuffs there and transport your goods to the town. Some butcher will even be coming to your farm to buy, saving you cost of transportation.
It is good to raise pigs in pasture by leaving them occasionally to root around in the fields where they can find plants to eat, and that can only be achieved when you have large enough farm land (Pasture Ground) to cater for this. As they mature, you take care so that they do not wander away.
2. Build Standard Pens —
Big pen is important if you don't want your pigs to injure themselves. A
good and specious pen is also important to keep the pigs healthy and
free from diseases and contamination. Proper drainage is needed too to
avoid water becoming stagnant in your pen which could attract insects
and other harmful pets to harm your pigs.
To avoid your pigs getting overly dirty, you need to build a water pool where they can play, swim as pigs likes swimming, and cool themselves which is important to their well being. Changing the water and refilling the pool as frequently as possible will ensure that they are clean all the time. If you are keeping them outdoor, shelter should be build for them.
3. Buy Healthy Piglets — To ensure healthy farm, you need to make sure the piglets you are about to start your farm with are health. Buy from trusted source and make sure the ones you are buying has history of vaccination.
Buy as much as you wants to start with but don't start with too many. It is advisable to start with small number and increase gradually. This way, you will be able to learn the rope and you grow and anything go wrong at the initial stage, your risk will be minimal.
4. Talk to Veterinary Doctor — You need the services of vet doctors for regular check up and vaccination as well as feeding and nutrition advice. Pigs generally eats what human being eat and doe not present much worries when it comes to feed.
5. Employ Workers — Employ 4 - 5 persons if your pigs are up to 100. If you are starting on a smaller scale, you may need lesser number of worker 1 - 2 workers who will be assisting in the cleaning of the pigs and the pens, feeding the pigs and making sure they are well behaved and other things necessary.
6. Arrange for Feeding — Just like human being, Pigs eat a wide variety of foods, anything human can eat, they can eat. Like human being as well, they need balanced diet such as fibre, energy, protein, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals to thrive. Feed will take the major chunk of your spending in the farm.
