THE NEW ERA OF PIG FARMING IS HERE:- ARE YOU READY?

The business of pig farming is rapidly changing from subsistence to commercialization. The taste/quality of pork to improve and profitability increase.

The definite economic benefit of pig farming as a business is hard to establish in an environment with uncoordinated supply of inputs:-
👉 Good nutrition
👉 Good genetics
👉 Health products
👉 Advisory services
👉 Market

This in turn leads to production of overly fatty or underweight pork carcasses! Hence reduced profitability and pork consumer's quality needs satisfaction.

Commercial pig production thrives under certain production parameters. These are unique to production objectives. Forexample, the following is considered for the commercial herd:-
🐖 Average Daily Gain (ADG)
🐖 Feed Conversion Efficiency (FCR)
🐖 Killing Out Percentage (KO%)

The 3 determines:-
1. Time required from weaning to market.
2. Amount of feed required from weaning to market
3. Total weight of the pig after slaughter.

The above enables producers design specific plans according to his or her production agenda hence reduced errors.

This is the reality we are experiencing now.
Therefore, the right time to position yourself is NOW! The change we have been waiting for is here. Qualiting quality. Happy farming
