MARKET ANALYSIS
Background to the market: The market comprises of both low and high income earners. The changing trends and development in consumer behavior and buying habits, for instance many reduce the consumption of red meat due to health reasons; this is the key to the growth rate of market. Therefore it is important to note that the market size is quite large. Competitive Comparison: The competitors are quite many in the area but most of them are on small scale. Therefore they are likely to negatively respond to this business venture. With regard to my research, I have noticed that many of my competitors lack managerial skills hence end up over capitalizing the business. There are a number of weaknesses I have realized amongst my competitors therefore if a can work towards them, I believe I can gain a competitive advantage over them. Given the fact that most of the competitors are on small scale, there is inconsistence in the service and product provision, so I strongly believe that I can highly complete with them. Poor customer services, unreasonably high prices and weak promotional strategies plus many more weakness amongst my competitions.

Pig reproduction is faster compare to other types of livestock farming like cattle rearing, goat rearing etc Pig convert more nutrient/energy into protein and so grow faster than other livestock like goat, cattle which has low conversion rate and slow growth rate. They can feed on roughages; agricultural waste etc and so reduce cost of feeding.
Steps to Starting Pig farming Business Land: The first step to starting pig farming business is to acquire a piece of land. The size of the land will depend on the scale of the business. A small scale pig farming business will require half or one plot of land while a medium or large scale will require two or more plots of land. It is advisable to get the land outside a residential area unless you have money to buy sophisticated equipment that will take care of the odour from the pen. Water Supply: It is advisable to be sure of the source of water before starting a pig farm because without water pig farming will be extremely difficult. The land that will be acquired should be close to a source of water such as river or streams if not you will have to sink well or bore hole to get a constant supply of water for your pig farm. Building of Pen: The next step is to build pen where the animals are to be kept. Small scale pig farming will require a pen of at least a room of 12 square feet. For medium and large scaleproduction many pens will be require and the pigs are to be separated according to their sizes. Buying Pigs: The next step is to buy pigs to your farm. The best method is to buy pregnant pig if you have the financial capably but if you dont, you can go for piglets (young pigs) that are about to become grower (weaned Pig) or better still buy the grower. There are many breeds of Pig that a farmer can choose from. When choosing a breed ensure that the breed has fast growing rate, is resistant to disease, is not aggressive and has high nutrient conversion rate. The service of an expert should be sought after in choosing a breed of pig to be raised. FEEDING: Pig can eat on a varieties of food especially roughages and stalk from beverages companies. Feed can also be fed with agricultural waste such as pineapple, yam, and a peel of different edible farm produce. Pig must be fed at least twice in a day. One great challenge in pig farming business is availability of pig feeds. Sourcing for pig feeds can be challenging and as result of this, the site of the farm must be located close to where the feeds can be source for. SANITATION: To ensure good health condition of the pigs and prevent various diseases that can attack them good sanitation of the pig house (PEN) must be ensured. It is advisable to sweep, clear the waste and wash the animals every day. PIG REPRODUCTION: Pregnancy of a sow (female pig) will last for about 115 days before it can deliver. After delivery, the piglet will feed on the breast milk for about nine weeks after which they will become growers. After the grower stage the pig will cross to the next stage where they can mate and if the mating result in pregnancy, the sow will be capable of producing at least ten piglets. CAPITAL NEEDED: Small scale pig farming business can be started for as low as $700 provided there is land and water supply but medium or large csale pig farming business would need at least $15000 to start. NOTE: Sow needs maximum attention after delivery so that it will not sleep on the piglets which can cause their death. Therefore, the farmer must be available during that time or employ farm attendant(s) to take care of that. Also note that the services of veterinary practitioner will be needed in pig Farm. His service is to check of the pigs to detect any infection or disease and to administer drugs and vaccine when needed. Are you interested in this wonderful business? Then go ahead, carryout feasibility study, write yourpig farming business plan, source for capital and start. See you at the top
Food and Vet Care Pigs.. well, they eat like pigs. If you want good meat then you should ONLY feed them pig grain from a feed store. We made the mistake with our first caretakers of giving them money to buy the grain. Well, guess what?.. they bought the minimal amount of grain and pocketed the rest of the money. So, hook up with a grainery supply house locally yourself and set up an account with a deposit. This way you get an itemized bill to monitor how much grain is being bought and you pay them directly at the end of the month. Even so, keep inventory if you can on the sacks of grain as a dishonest caretaker will simply sell those on the side too. Im not being accusatory.. once youve lived in the Philippines awhile, youll know what Im talking about. The mentality here is that if theres so much of it and youre so rich.. its not really stealing to poach some inventory for some extra pesos. Piggies do get sick every so often and need shots so ask around for a decent Vet to stop by once a month and recommend both shots and a purple spray antibiotic for cuts the piggies may get rolling around and scraping on the stalls. Without a vet, expect to lose even more then 40% of your piglet litters due to disease or infection. Piggy Stalls A good piggy stall needs the following; Cement floor. Adequate shade w/roof for rain. Easy drainage for cleaning. Yah, you could just make a pen out in the sun but, expect to lose some piggies to the heat. And you need a floor with a slant leading down to a drainage hole which is then made to flow into a cemented trough so the run-off water from cleaning can go away from the stalls. In my piggy-stalls the water diverts to a small river on the property. If you are on flat land, see about making a make-shift septic hole. This is done with a big hole.. filled with large stones and some PVC pipe. The stones allow new drainage water to go in and then it filters into the ground around it. While the idea of a Momma-piggy cranking out 15 piglets which are then sold for lechon after 3 months seems like a really profitable idea.. you will have challenges. Expect to lose some piglets that die the first week. Expect piglets to be sold under the radar if you are not around. Expect your grain bill to increase to feed all those new piggy-tummies. And expect the weirdest demands from your caretakers at a moments notice. Like expecting bonuses and a free piglet fro m every litter.. that sort of thing. You have to be firm about their wages per month. And dont be surprised if they tell you, We spent all our salary for the month, send us some more. I mean, back in the States if I told my boss something like that hed just say, That sounds like a you problem.. not a me problem. But here in the Philippines, its par for the course, so be prepared.
6. Housing The pigsties should be constructed in a way that will allow the stockman to carry out his daily duties with ease. The sties have to be designed in a manner that will help management in monitoring the pig enterprise. Poor housing designs can lead to disproportionate food sharing, inefficient utilization of space, feed wastage and poor performance of the pigs among other things. 7. Feed availability A guaranteed supply of feed is a prerequisite for the successful operation of a piggery project. Feed account for about 80% of the production costs on a pig production enterprise. Pig feeds are compounded using maize or other small grains and concentrates. The farmer should budget about 3.4 tonnes of maize per sow per year if he is to operate a breeding/feeding unit. Ref.
