Pig FarmingHow to Start Pig Farming BusinessSummary: Pigs can be raised in controlled or free environment, as a small- or large-scale business. But in whatever size, a prospective farmer would need inputs as to how to raise pigs efficiently and in a more productive manner. Read from our guide and learn the basics on choosing piglets, proper nutrition, and ideal housing. Raising pigs can be pursued as a small-scale operation as source of family meat and supplement income or it can be made into a large-scale operation.
Pigs may be raised in highly controlled environments (hog lots) indoor, in open spaces or barns as breeding sows or grown and sold for slaughter to butcher shops. Here are the aspects of pig raising that a grower must carefully consider: Choosing Piglets to RaisePig feeders can be obtained from stock breeders, and producers, in auctions and classified ads. Pigs are of different breeds some of them are well suited for specific environments, indoor or outdoor. Crossbred pigs tend to grow faster, consume feed more efficiently and are vigorous. When buying a feeder, choose the large and healthy looking ones, at least 25 lbs. If you are choosing a male, which is observed to grow slightly faster than females, get one that is already castrated. Male or female, they are preferably immunized. Ask the breeder for health information and stock of the breeder. Proper Nutrition for PigsPigs feed on both grains and meat. They can also be fed with cooked table scraps and vegetables. Corn is their most common food, but they could benefit from having a diet with protein from soybeans or cooked meat. Further, they grow faster with vitamins and other supplements. Piglets have higher protein requirements than mature ones. Feeds can be bought packaged and in bulk. Pigs must also have adequate supply of drinking water daily, about two to four gallons. Provide water either through a tub or automatic nipple waterer. Ideal Housing for PigsPigs need housing to keep them warm during cold temperatures and to shelter them from excessive heat. Pigs are sensitive to heat and could die from heat stress. When housed indoors, temperature conditions must be well regulated. Controlled temperature conditions can help maximize growth. Cooling mechanisms for pigs can come in the form of drip water system or a wallow (for a hog pen). Pigs can be housed indoors in individual stalls, pens (in groups or batch) or in barns. Even if the pigs are raised outdoors they would need a shelter during cold and hot weathers. The housing should have a space for feeding and bedding. Pig Farm SanitationSanitation is important to keep the pigs disease-free. A mechanism for easy cleaning and removal of waste is necessary for any type of pig housing. Some use slotted pen floors to make waste collection easy. Hosing a barn and removal of manure daily are recommended. So is keeping the floor dry to reduce odour. After five to seven months, pigs are likely to reach ideal market weight of more than 200 lbs. They could be sold at livestock auctions or slaughtered for meat. 141 Responses to "Pig Farming".

138. Waititu wa Kiarie on 3/19/2010 9:21:47 PM
Kennesaw, GA (USA)- I've been very encouraged by the many entrepreneur profiles i've read here especially entry # 63 Mugo wa Muniu and # 61 Peter Wango. I'm currently working in the USA, but my home is Limuru, Kiambu. My wife and I have been discussing a lot about rearing of pigs and infact when i was in Kenya last month, we toured a few pig farms in Ndumberi, Mihang'o and also Karatina areas. We also visited Farmers Choice farm in Kahawa west where we got some good advice. We're currently building several pig-pens on our farm, while looking for a few good pig mothers and one boar. Starting any new venture is always challenging, so I'd like to connect with Mugo, Wango, Sebastian Karanja, Alice ETC plus any other kenyans interested in pig farming...maybe we can encourage each other and share our ups & downs in this pig business. My email is jkwaititu@yahoo: God bless :)
