How to Start Pig Farming in Nigeria and Grow to Giant Piggery
Piggery is another aspect of farming in Nigeria that is making smart investors huge money on daily basis. If you are into this pig farming, you sure wouldn't lack money again for the rest of your life. The reason is because Pig meet is in high demand in Nigeria and sells very very fast in the market. Another reason is that Pig reproduce in large number and grows very fast.A single pig gives birth to as much as 15 piglets at a time, making it one of the most reproducing mammal in the world. Baby pigs is known as shoat, farrow or piglet. Male pigs are referred to as the boar while females are sows. As a group they are called a herd or drove.
A fully grown Pig goes for as high as N 30,000 depending on the weight. Now Imagine for a year you are able to rear hundred to maturity, you will be making N 3 Million from the sales. If you can take it higher - lets say like 2,000 pigs in year, you will be talking of N 60 Million here!
Considering 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? Below are the important guides
Despite the huge profitability of Piggery, many Nigerian are still overlooking this goldmine because of ignorance of how it works. While some don't just get the fact that it is a big business - many who engage in it do it as part time business but if you can engage in this business fully, you are sure going to smile to the bank very soon.

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 fromN200,000 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.

Pigs, like all animals, must have constant access to clean fresh drinking water. As well as tipping the trough to make a wallow, pigs will also stand in the water trough and wash their dirty faces in it, so it needs to be checked regularly, cleaned out and refilled. Galvanised troughs are robust and easy to clean, and not too easy for the pigs to tip over. Automatic drinkers are available but aren’t half as much fun for the pigs.

Re: Piggery Farm by rockh2065: 10:22am On Mar 04, 2019
Pig farming in Nigeria is a business anyone interested in agriculture should consider because pig meat (pork) is one of the most produced animal meat in the world. According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), 38% of the meat protein consumed in the world is pork. Pork is the most abundantly produced and consumed animal meat in the world. This global consumption of pork means you can start your pig farming business and export pork to the world. You can even start by exporting it to nearby Benin republic, the love for pork in that country is incredible!

It is high in protein and essential vitamins, minerals and amino acid good for overall health. Lean pork, when trimmed of visible fat, is nutrient-dense, satisfying, and good for you. Some pork parts like that of tenderloin, loin chops and sirloin roast are made from the lean cuts and are more healthy than chicken. Whereas some preparations like bacon and fatty cuts promote cholesterol build up and is full of saturated fat which results in clogging of the artery- definitely not meant for everyday consumption and in uncontrolled portions.

Sometimes u want to travel either for holidays, family vacations, or other events but feel like taking ur dogs along. Uv got to plan it carefully.

These are a few tips to help u.

1. Get a good crate for ur dog. A crate is an excellent way to keep ur dog safe in the car. For airlines its mandatory. It can also keep ur dog from going astray in a hotel or restaurant when u stop to eat. Crates are available from most pet supply stores.

The crate should be large enough to allow the dog to stand, turn, and lie down. Let there be space. Even when ur sending ur dogs on waybill plz be treat this dogs in a good way. Don't pack them like sardines.

The crate should be strong, with handles and grips, and free of interior protrusions.

The crate should be leak-proof bottom covered with absorbent material. This would ensure fluids do not get to the dog.

The crate should be well ventilated on opposing sides, with exterior rims or knobs to prevent blocked airflow.

On the crate always ensure to put a label if ur sending on waybill. Put owner’s name, address, and phone number on it just in case of anything.

Stock the crate with a comfortable mat, your dog’s favorite toy, and a water.

In a previous write up we told u to always watch out for over heating in dogs. If ur sending the dog through waybill entrust the dog in the care of a reasonable person. If it requires to pay extra plz do.

Do not forget ur first aid box incase of emergency. We talked abt it in the past.

Ur dogs and Marijuana.

Marijuana and cigarettes are bad for dogs. Dogs can get high wen they take marijuana and it can be a dangerous experience. If they injest it then the sooner u seek vet help the better.

Most cases they would require evaluation and mild supportive care, but some can have serious complications.

Dogs do get high, but they experience the effects differently and more intensely than humans. In other words, a dog on weed is no laughing matter and, actually, is in a high state of distress. If u aren’t certain whether ur dog has consumed marijuana, u may observe the following signs:
Dribbling urine
Walking like they’re drunk (or high)
Beginning to fall over while standing still
Low heart rate
Low blood pressure
Wide, dilated pupils
Easily startled by sounds

If ur dog is showing one or more of these signs, and there’s any possibility of exposure or u av it at home it’s probably safe to conclude ur dog ate weed and take him to the vet.

Dogs have more cannabinoid receptors in their brains than people which means the effects of weed will likely be more pronounced and, potentially, more toxic.

Other toxic substance are chocolates, onions, fats like butter and oils, animal fat which can cause a serious case of pancreatitis in a dog.

Marijuana smokers might also wonder if dogs can be hurt by secondhand smoke.
ur dog can still get high from marijuana smoke. If u are in an enclosed space with a stifling amount of smoke, u may be putting ur dog (and yourself) at risk.

For small amounts of smoke in ventilated areas, it is less likely ur dogs will experience any side effects. If u do choose to smoke near ur dog, be sure to monitor them for unusual behavior or difficulty breathing. Its best u dont smoke close to them anyway.

More importantly, don’t blow smoke in ur dog’s face whether cigarette or weed, it’s just cruel.

The risk of death from marijuana is relatively low for dogs. However, the risk is greater if a smaller dog ingests a large amount of marijuana.

Treatment for marijuana ingestion depends on how recently the ingestion occurred and how affected the dog is. If noticed very early, a dog may be able to receive treatment to decontaminate them (to get it out of their system) and avoid or minimize any of the potential effects of the marijuana.

In mild cases, treatment is typically supportive in nature. Meaning that if ur dog cannot effectively or safely eat or drink on their own, they may need IV fluids.

If a dog develops aspiration pneumonia due to vomiting with an altered mental state, then they are likely to need oxygen therapy and IV antibiotics.

Those of u that have
brachycephalic dogs such as pugs, lhasa, bulldogs, Chihuahuas plz do not smoke close to them or expose to any form of smoke. They are prone to breathing issues.

Five Reasons Why Youth Should Choose Agriculture
What type of career do you aspire to have? Do you want to be an artist, a business person, or a policymaker?
Re: Piggery Farm by rockh2065: 10:20am On Apr 02, 2019
What type of career do you aspire to have? Do you want to be an artist, a business person, or a policymaker?

Or, have you ever wanted to become a farmer? I would not be surprised if you said no.

When weighing career choices, many young people in the developing world tend to shy away from agriculture. I, too, once found myself disenchanted by the small villages and rice fields I grew up seeing every day. As the conventional belief goes, agriculture means an archaic lifestyle and a future with limited opportunities for youth.
