    Hello there, thanks for this info, i have a little question though, i plan to add a piggery unit to my Farm that already has Diary cows but i am told the two cannot co-exist next to each other, is it true? and if so why?. What can i do with regard to citing and housing to allow for the two within the range of 30 meters. Albert from Mbarara Municipality, Mbarara District, Uganda (+256702899124)

    I was quite impressed by getting information on pig rearing on the net. I've just started a pig rearing project with 5 expectant mothers and one father....they called it one unit.The bad thing is that i have no experience and would like some training together with my farmhands. Where can i have some training? My farm is in Kagundu-ini Location, Kandara Division, Murang'a South District. Nearest town is Thika in Kenya.

  • Waititu wa Kiarie said on March 19, 2010
    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 :)

    I am hoping to set up a new piggery on a small piece of land somewhere near Entebbe Uganda. I am totally new to this. Would like to see a suitable business plan for this project, structural layout for pens etc, as a beginner. Which breeds( exotic or crossbreed do well in this location?) I hope to really expand in future. Also is it possible to keep both chicken and pigs on the same site and capitalize on the architecture...chicken could live upstairs as I have seen for cows in some areas. Please advice.

  • BUNTU CHRISE said on April 14, 2010
    I am in Makerere university in Uganda doing a degree in mechanical engineering. I like farming more than engineering 100%. I don't have any love for Eng...Pig farming is my best, because as a youth who would like to see a change in our country, it would give me quick returns. As a politician in making, I have a dream that one day, people in Uganda will use farming to eliminate poverty and I must act exemplary to my fellow youth. Success in life is not all about academic excellence, schooling time has exams and the world outside has different exams. All this courage lies in my heart, but I have been trying to raise some small capital to start small, but all in vain. I would like to start as early as possible when I am still at campus. I BEG THAT YOU HELP ME. MY PHONE NUMBER IS+256701078104 . I WILL BE EXTREMELY HAPPY TO HEAR FROM YOU. THANKS

    OF A TRUTH THIS DISCOURSE IS VERY CONCISE AND GOES A LONG WAY IN PUTTING A BEGINNER ON THE CORRECT PATH WITH REGARD TO PIG PRODUCTION. IT IS ALSO INTERESTING THAT A GREAT NUMBER OF PEOPLE IS BEING DRAWN INTO THE SWINE BUSINESS AND THIS POPULARITY SHOULD LEAD US VETERINARIANS TO ENGAGE IN MORE INTENSIVE STUDIES (BOTH IN HEALTH, ECONOMICS, EPIDEMIOLOGY ETC) ON THE ADVANCEMENT OF PORK PRODUCTION ESPECIALLY IN AFRICA WHERE IT HAS NOT BEEN SO ALL THE WHILE.

    What do you intend to feed your pigs in Uganda? How do you crush your feed? What additives do you add to make them grow quickly? What type of market do you have to sell your pigs and where? What weights do you take your pigs to..how heavy?

    I have a modern pig shed at Limuru in Kiambu, Kenya, recently completed as had mentioned on entry 63. The shed is designed in such a way that cleaning of the shed is made much easier and this allows for pig farming without the bad odour that is usually associated with pigs. You may actually not realize there are pigs in my compound until you see them. With a good level of cleanliness, I am able to keep my animals clean and of course healthy, maintaining a fresh environment around. For those who would want to build, I can avail them with information on this, costs estimates, and if required, can help to build through my other other firm involved in such projects, but in Nairobi & its neighborhood.
