Your piglet survival rate will decide your future profit.

Piglets are the most delicate stage in pig farming. The first 48 hours decide whether they will thrive or d!e. That’s why colostrum (the first milk) is non-negotiable, it boosts immunity and survival.

Other hidden keys:

Keep piglets warm - cold k!lls faster than hunger.

Control crush!ng by giving piglets a creep area away from the sow.

Start creep feeding early to prepare them for weaning.

Every piglet saved is extra income in your pocket. Losing them is like throwing away tomorrow’s profit.

What’s the biggest challenge you face with piglets, crush!ng, diarrhea, or poor growth? Let’s talk in the comments.

Feed is where farmers either make money or lose it all.

In pig farming, feed can take up to 70% of your total cost. That’s why smart farmers never waste feed. Pigs need balanced diets: energy (maize, cassava), protein (soybean meal, groundnut cake, fish meal), minerals, and vitamins.

But here’s the secret: Overfeeding doesn’t make pigs grow faster, it only makes them fat and wastes money. Underfeeding slows growth and delays sales. The goal is balanced feeding at the right stage of life.

Remember: feed pigs according to their age and purpose, piglets, growers, sows, and boars all have different needs.

Do you measure feed for your pigs or just pour “by eye”? Be honest in the comments.

Your profit in pig farming is hidden in the sow’s w0mb.

Breeding is the heartbeat of pig farming. One sow can give you 8–12 piglets per litter, and sometimes twice a year. That’s your multiplication machine. But success depends on timing and management.

Key secrets:

Breed gilts (young females) when they are about 8 months old and weigh at least 90 kg.

Always use a strong, healthy boar for service, avoid overusing one boar.

Record mating dates to predict farrowing (it takes about 114 days after mating).

Poor breeding management means fewer piglets, longer gaps between litters, and lost income. Good breeding keeps your piggery multiplying wealth.

How many piglets do you think one sow can produce in 2 years if managed well? Drop your guess in the comments.

Your pig house decides whether your pigs grow fast or stay s!ckly.

Good housing is not luxury, it’s survival for pigs. The house should protect pigs from heat, cold, rain, and th!eves while allowing enough space for exercise. Poor drainage and overcrowding lead to smell, d!sease, and slow growth.

Simple rules:

Keep pens dry and clean.

Give pigs space (don’t overcrowd).

Use proper ventilation to control smell and disease.

A clean, well ventilated pig house doesn’t just reduce stress, it increases feed efficiency and profit. Remember, pigs thrive where they are comfortable.

How often do you clean your pig pens? Daily, weekly, or only when visitors are coming? Share honestly in the comments.

I’ve been thinking of doing something different tomorrow. By 9:30am (Nigeria time), I’m considering going live straight from the piggery so you all can see the house, the animals, the setup, and even some of our daily routine. It’ll be a short 30 minutes where you can also ask me your direct questions right there on the spot.

Would you like me to go live tomorrow? Let me know in the comments if you’d love to join.

Starting a pig farm is not about buying pigs first — it’s about building the right foundation.

Many new farmers rush to buy pigs without preparing. That’s the fastest way to lose money. A successful pig farm begins with proper site selection: good water supply, dry land with good drainage, and distance from crowded communities. Then comes housing, fencing, and basic equipment before you bring in the first pig.

If you start with the animals before setting up the system, you’ll spend more time fighting problems than growing profits. Preparation is what separates struggling farms from profitable ones.

If you were to start a pig farm today, what’s the first thing you would set up? Let’s discuss in the comments.

Not all pigs are the same. Some will eat more than they grow, while others will fatten your pocket.

The breed of pig you choose can decide your profit or loss. In Nigeria, some of the most common and profitable breeds include:

Large White: fast growth, good litter size, strong adaptability.

Landrace: excellent mothering ability, long body for more meat.

Duroc: reddish color, hardy, and known for tasty pork.

Hampshire: strong and muscular, good for lean meat.

Local breeds: hardy, disease resistant, but slower growth.

Smart farmers often crossbreed to combine strengths, for example, Large White × Landrace for better productivity.

Which pig breed do you think does best in Nigeria? Drop your answer in the comments.
