Feed Comparison in Dry feed and hotel waste.

FEED COMPARISON  IN B/W DRY FEED & HOTEL WASTE : When a fresher person goes to start his pig farm, always he think about feeding arrangements. Advantages and costing are those two things which comes in his mind very first, but I think always few points must be checked .... Availability of feed. Cost of feed. Transportation availability. Storage facility in farm. Life of feed. Availability of feed is the first effecting factor for pig farming, if you want to start a pig farm based on dry feed but in your area you are not able to take required quantity for your farm, then you shall face many many problems with high cost.  For your success you have to arrange your dry feed Rs. 9/kg to Rs. 13/kg. If you are thinking to give hotel waste/kitchen waste to your livestock then approx Rs. 3/kg cost will be given by you. Minimum 7 Kg hotel waste will be eaten by single animal per day in two times, because hotel waste always gives 3 times of kitchen waste. Your tot

Profitability of Swine Business

Profitability of swine business in India  : In north India if you are giving only dry feed to your swine live stock then your Rs.5000 (+-1000) should be consumed on one swine for his/her 100 kg live body weight. Current market rate of live stock is approximate Rs. 120/kg. If your swine gain the weight of 90 kg to 100 kg, you will get Rs. 10800 to Rs 12000 per swine, Secondly I personally calculate this profit ratio on the behalf of my personal experience in swine business that how many mature swines you want to sale in Market per month if you want to sale 20 mature swines every month then you will have to maintain 20 Sow in your farmhouse. 20 Sow = 20 Mature swines/month (Capacity of Market). Because you should calculate always minimum profit and maximum expenses in your business to get real profit. If your one sow gives only 6 healthy piglets (minimum), and you have 10 sows in your farmhouse,  it mean in first half of year your live stock will be 10 x 60 = 60 Nos. & in w

Pig Farming in India

FUTURE PERSPECTIVES & SWINE INDUSTRY SCENARIO : Although Swine Industry is not growing at satisfactory level, that’s why to meet the national and international demand of swine/pork, concerted efforts in terms of better health, feed availability and proper breeding management is required to exploit this swine/pork industry. Swine Industry holds key to overcome the future unemployment problem in rural youth.  The share of pork to the total meat production has almost been static for last 15 years at about 10%. Total India’s swine population is 13.84 million (According to FAO records; FAOSTAT, 2009) and it constitute 1.47% of worlds swine population. Swine and pork production in India and world (2009).
