January 29, 2024

Demand-supply gap combined with faster economic return due to better FCR, early maturity, short gestation interval, large litter size and utilisation of food waste makes pig farming in India a very lucrative business.

Pig has the most importance among meat producing animals for the people of the socio-economically weaker section in India. They do pig farming with indigenous pig breeds in the backyard system in a low-tech low-input model. But, there is a huge scope for commercial pig farming in India.

Scope of Pig Farming in India

As per the 20th livestock census (2019) pig population has decreased over 12% from the previous census (2012). Furthermore, the situation worsened during COVID-19 lockdown due to unavailability of waste food from hotel, restaurant and catering industry. 

Globally pork is a very popular meat but in India pork is only about 9% out of total meat production. North-east India alone consumes 70% of domestic pork production but fails to meet its local demand and imports from other states like Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar etc. There is a high demand for pork in neighbouring countries like Vietnam, Singapore, Philippines, Hong Kong, Myanmar, Bhutan, Nepal etc.

In the present scenario the supply is far lower than growing demand and the need of the hour is to ramp up production of piglets and pork. Another scope is in high quality processed pork like sausage, bacon, ham, frozen pork etc.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Pig Farming in India

  • Pigs mature early and give birth at as early as 8 months. They farrow twice a year and give birth to 8-12 piglets at a time.
  • Piggery is a very profitable business. Pigs grow very fast with an FCR around 3 and gain marketable weight within 6-8 months. The FCR is second best after broiler poultry for any kind of meat producing animals.
  • Pigs can eat almost all types of feeds including damaged food, byproducts from mills and slaughterhouses, garbage, forage, agri waste, etc. and convert them into nutritious meat. 
  • Live body weight to carcass is 60-80% which is quite high. Pig meat is very nutritious, high in fat and energy and low in water.
  • Small and landless farmers can earn a handsome income by investing very low initial capital without any elaborate housing and commercial feed.
  • Pig faeces is a very good manure for both crops and aquaculture.
  • Demand for pig fat, pig meat and meat products is high and increasing steadily among the well travelled middle class and catering sector.
  • Good opportunity in food processing and exporting of pork products like bacon, ham, sausage, frozen meat etc.
  • Scope for replacing indigenous breeds with high yielding exotic/crossbred animals.
  • Huge growth potential in the piggery sector.

Disadvantages

  • Cultural taboo is holding back this sector.
  • Though new farmers are opting for high yielding crossbred/exotic breeds ¾ of the total pig population is from low quality indigenous breeds.
  • Inadequate breeder farms throughout India to make available quality piglets for fattening in required quantities.
  • Speciality feed for pigs is not available pan-India.
  • No control over breeding and traceability.
  • Piggery is a labour intensive business. Due to social taboo and the nature of work, getting and retaining manpower is harder compared to other farming activities.
  • Though India has high pork demand most of it is concentrated in 8 north-eastern states and Goa. Piggery from other states requires good market linkage.
  • Swine flu and other swine diseases wreak havoc periodically.
  • Import of cheap pork products.
  • Price and profitability depends on various global factors.

How to Start a Pig Farm in India

Feeding management is the main factor in pig farming but this business involves some technical knowledge.

1. Know Your Farm Animals

  • Boar: A boar is a male pig used for breeding purposes.
  • Farrowing Sow: A female pig that has given birth (farrowed) to a litter of at least one pig dead or alive.
  • Gilt: A gilt is a female pig which has not farrowed or given birth to a litter yet. It can be a pregnant animal.
  • Weaner: Weaner is a pig which has left the nursing period and is under 8 weeks of age and 20 kg of liveweight.
  • Dry Sow: A female pig which has given birth to a litter but is separated from its piglets after the nursing period (weaning). They are called dry sow until furrowing.

2. Pig Farming Business Plan

A piggery can be started for various reasons. Every business model has its own advantages and pitfalls. Here are the top three most popular business models for a piggery.

a. Selling Piglets

Pigs mature early and give birth at as early as 8 months. They farrow twice a year and give birth to 8-12 piglets at a time. These piglets can be sold to other pig farmers at 2-3 months of age for quick return, they will then rear those piglets up to market weight.

This is a relatively low risk, low investment business model. As the batch duration is short and feed requirement for piglets is quite low there will be relatively low investment stuck in case of any disease outbreak or external problem.

This business model needs to raise high quality pure breed pigs with utmost care and breeding management. Commercial dry feed is preferred over low cost hotel waste to prevent diseases and unnecessary weight gain and get maximum productivity. Marketing is another constraint as the piglets can not be sold to the meat market directly for meat purpose and demands higher effort and trust to sell the piglets to other farmers.

b. Selling Fatteners

Instead of selling the piglets, rearing them up to marketable weight as fatteners for meat purpose is the most popular business model in pig rearing. This is a high risk high return business model.

A pig needs 6-8 months to gain marketable weight of 80-100 kg. Thereafter they are sold as per live body weight. Current market rate for live fatteners is Rs.130-145/kg. On an average a 100 kg. fattener is sold at around Rs.13,500 within which around 40% is profit margin depending on FCR and feed cost. Hotel waste can be fed if available to reduce feeding cost. 

Marketing of fatteners is very easy but the quantity matters. In places like north-east India, Goa and high pork demand areas small batches can be sold directly in the market but other places with low pork demand selling large batches of animals fetch more profit due to transportation and middlemen.

c. Selling Breeding Animals

Another popular business model is selling breeding animals but this is often done with any of the previous two models. There is a demand for good quality animals to be used as breeding stock. Gilt, pregnant sow and quality boar can be sold at a high price. Some new farmers prefer to buy female pigs after the first lactation as inexperienced farmers face difficulties managing female pigs at their first farrowing (giving birth to piglets).

3. Choose the Right Location

Choosing the right location is very important for the success of a piggery. The land must not be waterlogged. As piggery is a labour intensive practice, availability of cheap labour from surrounding areas is an advantage.

Due to unhygienic farming practices by most of the farmers this sector is considered dirty and any piggery project near locality may face public objection. Rural areas away from locality but with good road connectivity, transport facility, electricity, clean drinking water, feeds and veterinary service where the environment has low level of pollution and noise are ideal for setting up a piggery.

4. Selection of Breed

More than 75% of the pig population in India is of indigenous breeds and the rest are exotic/crossbred. Most popular pig breeds are-

  • Indigenous Breeds: Ghungroo, Agonda Goan, Nicobari, Doom, Zovawk, Niang Megha, Tenyi Vo.
  • Exotic/ Crossbred: Large White Yorkshire, Hampshire, Landrace, Duroc.

The indigenous breeds are region specific and thrive in that region’s agroclimate and farming practices. But, in a pure commercial setup exotic/crossbred pigs give better results. Large White Yorkshire is the most preferred breed for new commercial piggeries due to its FCR, weight gain and litter size.

5. Housing Plan

Pig farming can be done without expensive housing but there are some factors to remember when designing a pig farm. 

  • Shedding is required for the safety and security of the pigs so that they can take shelter in adverse weather and protect themselves from parasites, diseases and predators.
  • Most of the traditional small pig farms in India are unhygienic and do not have scientific housing but proper housing and equipment is essential for large scale commercial farming. The shed must be ready before introducing the animals.
  • The shed must be well ventilated, routinely cleaned and dry with a good drainage system.
  • Proper housing planning and layout should be followed to accommodate all necessary activities and lower consumption of water and labour.
  • Different types of pigs should be grouped into separate pens.
  • Heating lamps should be fitted at proper height to protect from cold in winter months. Wallows or sprinkler systems to be built to protect pigs from heat.
  • At the time of site selection availability of clean water and electricity must be considered.

There are different components in a piggery house including creep space, covered space, open area, furrowing pen, wallows etc. The shed should be built by taking consultation from experienced farmers or domain experts. 

Calculation of Floor Space and Water Requirement

Calculating the floor space and water requirement at the very initial stage may help in site selection and budget allocation and avoid problems of maintaining the farm in the long run. 

Type of PigCovered Space (sq.ft./pig)Open Space (sq.ft./pig)Water (litre/pig)No. of pig /pen
Boar55-8095-13020-251

Dry Sow/gilt20-3015-2012-154-10
Weaner/fattener10-2010-203-830

6. Feeding Management

Feeding management is the main factor in pig farming. Young pigs can not digest high fibre food well and should be given food with low fibre in regular intervals. Before serving the food, previously served unutilised food in the tub or trough should be cleaned well.

Though commercial feeds are available in the market one can formulate dry feed by collecting and mixing ingredients in proper ratio. Pigs need grains, protein supplements, vitamins, minerals and antibiotics in their feed.

  • Grains: Maize, wheat, rice, oats, sorghum, millets, wheat bran, rice bran, broken rice, etc.
  • Protein: Oil cakes from groundnut, sesame, soybean, linseed, etc. Animal protein can be sourced from fish meal, meat meal, dairy waste, etc.
  • Vitamins: Pigs should be sent to pasture or given some fodder to get vitamins from natural sources otherwise vitamins should be mixed with dry feed. 
  • Minerals: Mineral mixture and salt.
  • Antibiotics: Mixed with feed to fight disease (except organic pork).
  • Molasses: A good source of iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium and phosphorus.

Pigs should not be overfed. Requirement of feed at different stages as per Indian Veterinary Research Institute is listed below.

Dry Feed or Hotel Waste?

Pigs have excellent feed conversion efficiency and have the ability to convert waste rotten foods which no other animals consume into delicious meat. But, the profitability largely depends on the feeding cost. Commercial feed is less economical and should be replaced by cheap alternatives if available.

Agricultural waste, vegetable waste from the market, spoiled dairy and poultry feed, food waste from hotel, restaurant and catering industry can be served to minimise feeding cost. Food waste must be clean and fresh and served only after boiling. Food waste from hotels (swill) has about 70% water content and needs 3 times more than dry feed. On an average 4-8 kg of swill is required per pig.

Hotel waste is an excellent cheap alternative to commercial dry feed for fattening but it should be avoided for sows intended for piglet production. Hotel waste has high fat oily content which results in weak piglets and more death rate of piglets by crush during furrowing.

7. Disease Control and Prevention

Pigs suffer from various diseases including viral, bacterial, parasitic and nutrient deficiency diseases. Most common diseases are swine fever, swine pox, FMD, swine brucellosis, leptospirosis, worms, anaemia, hypoglycemia, etc.

Maintaining vaccination schedules is the best way to prevent diseases like swine fever, FMD etc. Routine check up for diseases, disinfecting the farm, isolating newly purchased pigs, restricting external visitors, etc. are few steps to prevent diseases.

Swine flu pandemic wreak havoc periodically in African countries and China causing loss of lakhs of pigs in a short period of time. Indian Pig farmers should keep an eye on global events to fight any future pandemic.

Tips for success

Pig farming is a very profitable business in general but a certain percentage of farms are forced to close down their operation due to three main reasons.

  • Knowledge: Managing different types of pigs of different life stages requires knowledge and prior experience. It is advised to take training and hands-on experience before starting a piggery.
  • Budget allocation: New farmers fail to assess future expenses and growth potential and they allocate most of the budget towards housing or animal purchase. But, it is to remember that even before the first batch of fatteners are ready for the market there will be a considerable amount of feeding and maintenance cost. Budget allocation should be based on a detailed project report.
  • Labour: Finding and retaining labourers is a major and never ending problem in this sector due to social taboo and nature of work. The proposed site should be away from locality in a rural area where social taboo is minimal and cheap labourers are available.

A Sample Pig Farm Project Report

Below is a sample pig farming project report for bank loan based on the following assumptions.

  • One acre of land is required for the project. The land is considered pre-owned by the promoter, therefore no additional cost for land has been added. There will be some open space left for future expansion.
  • A modern pig shed will be built with steel pipe and proper drainage system for better aeration, hygiene and management.
  • Large White Yorkshire breeds will be reared with the objective of selling fatteners.
  • Healthy breeding parent stock of 6-7 months age will be purchased in two equal batches three months apart. The first furrowing will be 3 months after starting the project and the piglets will be sold 9 months after starting the project.
  • As the breeding stock will be purchased in two equal batches, 50% of sows will be allowed to furrow at a time. This reduces the cost of capital investment and improves farm efficiency.
  • Breeding stock will be sold as culled animals after 4 th furrowing every 2 nd year and new breeding stock will be introduced from grown up piglets as the litter size starts to reduce after 4 th -6 th furrowing.
  • Mortality among breeding stock will be compensated from insurance money and hence not considered in this report.

How much land do I need to start a pig farming business?

The amount of land required to start a pig farming business depends on various factors, including the scale of operations and the farming system employed. For small-scale or backyard pig farming, a few acres of land may be sufficient to accommodate the pig pens, feeding areas, and other infrastructure.

What are the advantages of pig farming?

Slices of bacon are enjoyed everywhere in the United States, in homes and restaurants. The average farmer in the United States earns around $46,193 annually. The estimated profit earned from pig farming is dependent on the number of pig stock, production cost, and management cost. Pig farmers who earn extra cash from their production include processing, adding value to their final production.

What makes the piggery business an interesting and lucrative venture for most people? So, if you decide to venture into bacon or pork production, here are the benefits.

1) High feed-to-meat conversion ratio

Unlike raising poultry birds , birds are known to convert feed into feathers, eggs, and meat. What if you need more meat from the birds, but they keep developing more feathers? This is a typical problem I encountered during my service as an extension officer. But do you the interesting thing and joy pig farmers were enjoying? Pigs have no other business than to convert feed consumed into meat.

A well-fed pig takes 5 to 6 months to attain a weight of 200 to 300 lbs. (91 to 135 kg). In 2022, US pork prices are expected to be between US$ 2.47 and US$ 2.47 per kilogram or between US$ 1.12 and US$ 1.12 per pound (lb.). The price per kilogram is EUR 2.47. In New York and Washington, the average price for a ton is $2474.5.

2) High demand for Pig waste

Organic crop growers use pig farm waste to prepare manure for their crops. Organic vegetables, in particular, have a high value on the market. For this reason, some pig farmers collect and sell pig waste for extra cash, while others use it on their farms instead of buying synthetic fertilizer .

3) Highly prolific

If you own a sow and boar a new pig farmer, you can get up to an estimated number of 18 to 20 pigs within a year. A sow between the age of 8 to 9 months can farrow twice a year. The pig breed is highly prolific, so a sow can produce a litter size between 6 and 12.

4) Wide taste for a variety of feed

Pigs naturally feed on a lot of edible materials. From snakes to vegetables and grains, pigs can actually consume anything for survival. Yes, I stated pigs eat snakes . This was an eyewitness moment when a snake entered a pigsty. They killed and fed on the snake.

The fact that pigs can consume anything edible does not mean you should feed them garbage and a non-nutritional diet. A well-balanced diet mixed with fruits like watermelon helps the pigs grow and mature faster.

5) Most relied on meat for Sausage making

Sausage producers in the United States and most countries prefer using meat from pigs in producing sausages for the market. The United States sausage production industry is estimated at $19.2bn in 2022. Sausages are easy to use in making meals and attract many consumers year-round.

What are the disadvantages of pig farming?

This is a complete beginner guide, and the aim is to let you know what is good and bad about the pig farming business. This may not be a disadvantage, provided you have the means to take care of every cost.

1) Cost of building piggery structure

Each barn may cost $400 to build, depending on the materials used. This includes cement blocks, wood, roofing, and wire mesh. A standard piggery structure can be very costly. So, as a beginner, you can start with a small size and expand in the future.

2) Pig farming requires time

When you start a pig farming business, your presence is required on-site daily. By standards, you are required to feed the pigs twice daily and ensure they have enough water in their wallow to cool their hot body temperature. For most standard pig farms, air conditioners are installed instead of wallows.

Types of pig farming

The pig farming business can be classified into two forms the pig fattening farming business and the pig breeding farm business . Each type of pig farm business is very lucrative and depends on each other.

Pig breeding farming business

This category of pig farming specializes in raising what we call the breeder stock. The breeder stock has varieties of pig breeds crossed to produce offspring. Piglets from the breeder stock are considered pure line breeds when they come from the same breed and hybrid when it’s a cross between two different breeds. Pig breeders are relied on mostly by pig fattening farmers to supply their farms for production.

Pig breeders research into feed enhancers for pig growth, breeds best for local farmers, disease-resistant pig breeds , and minimizing mortality in piggery with proven research works in with their pig breeding programs.

Pig fattening farming business

Pig fatteners are solely interested in buying matured pregnant sows or piglets from pig breeders to start production. This type of production is responsible for the bacon, ham, and lard we enjoy from pig meat. Pig fatteners run daily farm management by caring for the piglets until they reach the maturity stage (5-6 months) for slaughtering.

Pig farming for beginners

The pig is one of the most important animals in modern-day farming . They are used for food, for their fat, for their skin, and organs. The amount of products made from pigs is incredible, and their use in farming is essential for keeping people fed and healthy.

Types of pig housing systems

The pig housing system is intended to safeguard pigs while providing them with the best possible habitat for growth and production. The types of pig housing systems are determined by a farming system that varies according to the prevailing farming conditions as well as the farmers’ financial status. It does not matter if having a small piggery business plan; pig housing is crucial.

List of pig housing systems

Pigs are housed in sites that are divided into one or more pens, each with a single or group of animals based on age, sex, and purpose. Below are some types of housing systems and low-cost pig farming housing plans to consider for a pig farmer.

Confinement Housing System

A pig confinement housing system is a complete production facility. Buildings, feed and water systems, manure handling systems, pig handling equipment, pens, and gating are included. This housing system allows for better mud, dust, and manure control and reduced labor for feeding, breeding, and transporting to the farrowing house. Confinement housing systems also allow the pigs to be separated from other animals, which improves biosecurity.

Outdoor or Free-Range Housing System

It is a pig-keeping system in which the pigs can freely move and forage on open lands. The pig has complete access to water, feed, wallows, sunlight, fresh air, and plenty of space to run about or sleep outside anytime it wants. Outdoor or free-range pig rearing is frequently advocated as having better animal welfare and environmental performance. Pigs reared in this system have greater production values and lower input costs.

Deep Litter System

This is a system where several pigs are housed in a single covered enclosure where they can wander freely. The floor could be concrete or appropriately compacted and raised litter. Litter acts as insulation to keep young pigs warm. Pigs grown in a deep litter system outperform pigs raised on a concrete floor in similar conditions. 

The partially slatted floor system

Part of the floor is slatted in the partially slatted floor system, and manure and urine fall into a pit below the floor, forming a slurry. This approach is also far less labor-intensive than having to scoop or remove the waste on a regular basis. This housing method gives pigs a specialized (solid) resting place, improved drainage in farrowing pens, and pigs have more lesions.

All-Slatted Floor System

There are long and narrow openings in the floor of the all-slatted floor housing system. This housing system essentially provides a waste disposal system in the barn, preventing the pigs from lying around in messes. They also lessen the labor required. Because the pigs have no contact with the ground with this system, soil-borne diseases are eliminated, and there is no need for litter or bedding.

Straw-Bedded Housing System

The straw-bedded housing system refers to pig houses in which the floor is coated with a thick layer of litter straw that is removed only at many-month intervals. Straw has numerous benefits, the majority of which are beneficial to pig behavior and welfare by providing a comfy floor. This system has been identified as one method of growing pigs without tail docking by enhancing their natural exploratory activity.

Nursery Housing System

A nursery housing system is a facility or building that is specifically built to house newly weaned pigs until they reach the grower/finisher stage. This system requires the most capital and human resources, as well as the maintenance of clean facilities and proper ventilation. Pigs grown in this system have greater exit weights and better grow-out performance.

Farrowing Housing System

A farrowing housing system is one in which a sow gives birth to her piglets and then stays with them until they are weaned. Sows are transported to the farrowing house a few days before their projected delivery date. This housing system allows the piglets to be with their mother while also allowing the sow to walk around and obtain her food and water without contaminating them. It offers sows comfort and piglets a safe and warm environment.

Dry Sow Housing System

A dry sow housing system is where an adult female pig who is between litters and not producing milk is housed. A good dry sow housing system should provide an intriguing environment in which a variety of behaviors can be expressed. The system also contributes to the well-being of the pigs being produced. Aggression is also lessened by giving the sow greater space, bedding material, and barriers.

Finisher Housing System

A finisher housing system is where market-ready pigs are kept until they are sold or slaughtered. The finisher housing floor can be constructed with non-slip concrete flooring with varying degrees of openness. A solid floor is advised in the building to limit the amount of ammonia evaporation, resulting in better pig welfare.

Multi-tier Housing System

Multi-tier housing systems improve pig well-being by allowing them to express their natural behavior and stimulate healthy development. The multi-tier system is one in which tiers are the most common characteristic of the housing and give living space at various levels. This housing has numerous benefits, such as lower installation costs and lower feed consumption due to fewer pigs moving. There is also a reduced risk of illness and parasitism.

Climate-Controlled Housing System

This housing system is critical in determining the inside climatic conditions of the house for optimum pig health, growth, and productivity. The correct climate in the house promotes your animals’ growth and health while saving you money on feed, water, and electricity. The Climate-Controlled Housing System allows you to fully manage the environment inside your pigs’ confinement.

Breeding Housing System

A breeding housing system is a type of housing in which a boar and gilt or sow are paired for breeding in order to include or retain desired features. This housing system influences your pigs’ genetic background and hence plays a vital role in their activity performance and meat quality. It is intended to safeguard pigs and provide them with the best breeding environment possible.

Mobile Housing System

After a quick start-up, the mobile housing system is ready for the pigs to move in. It protects the pigs from the elements, supplies them with water and extra feed, and slowly moves across a field, introducing the animals to new grass every day. Ventilation can be adjusted in this system to keep animals healthy while also reducing overgrazing and overfertilization of the field. 

Integrated Pig-Fish Farming System

An integrated pig-fish farming system is one that produces fish alongside pig-farming operations centered around the fish pond. Pig dung is a great pond fertilizer, boosting the biological productivity of the pond and, as a result, increasing fish production while also lowering the expense and demand for compounded fish feeds. The goal is to save resources while improving farm profits.

Pig Farmers can follow this guide to develop a pig farming business plan successfully. A well-written business plan can give a particular pig farmer an advantage over other farmers in securing funding or investors for their business.

Pig Farming in India

  • Pinterest 4

Commercial pig farming in India for meat production is one of the best and profitable business ideas for the Indian people. There are several highly meat producing pig breeds available around the globe.

Some of those are very suitable for commercial meat production according to the weather and climate of India.

A few years back, pig farming had a bad image in the society (only socially back warded down-trodden class Indian people used to raise pigs since the time immemorial and they were not respectable people).

But at present the scenario has changed tremendously and commercial pig farming in India is no more restricted to lower class people.

Now people are conscious about the economic value of pigs like other domestic livestock animals. And higher caste, educated people also started commercial pig farming business in a modern and scientific manner. China, Russia, America, Brazil and West Germany are the world largest pig producing country.

In India Uttar Pradesh is the largest pig producing state. However, here I am describing the advantages and required steps for starting commercial pig farming in India.

Advantages of Pig Farming in India

Pig farming has many advantages. Here, I am shortly describing the main advantages of starting commercial pig farming business in India.

  • Pigs grow faster than any other animals. They have higher feed conversion efficiency. That means, they have a great feed to meat converting ratio. They can convert all types of inedible feeds, forages, certain grains byproduct obtained from mills, damaged feeds, meat byproducts, garbage etc. into valuable, nutritious and delicious meat.
  • Pigs can eat and consume almost all types of feed including grains, damaged food, forage, fruits, vegetables, garbage, sugarcane etc. Sometimes they even eat grasses and other green plants or roots.
  • Pigs become mature earlier than other animals. A sow can be bred for first time at their age of 8-9 months. They can farrow twice a year. And in each farrowing they give birth of 8-12 piglets.
  • Setting up pig farming business is easy and it requires little capital/investment for building houses and buying equipment.
  • The ratio of total consumable meat and total body weight is higher in pigs. We can get around 60 to 80 percent consumable meat from a live pig.
  • Pig meat is also one of the most nutritious and tasty meat. It is higher in fat and energy and lower in water.
  • Pig manure is a great and widely used fertilizer. You can use this manure for both crop production and in pond for fish farming purpose.
  • Pig fat also has a huge demand in poultry feed, paints, soap and chemical industries. And this demand is continuously increasing.
  • Pigs grow faster and has a good ROI (returns of investment) ratio. They reach slaughter age earlier compared to other animal. A pig become suitable for slaughtering purpose at their age of 7-9 months. Within this period they reach marketable weight of 70-100 kg.
  • Pig meat has a good domestic demand. We can also earn good income by exporting pig products like bacon, ham, lard, pork, sausages etc. to the foreign countries.
  • Pig farming business can be a great income opportunities for the small and landless farmers, unemployed educated or uneducated young people and for the rural women.
  • In a word, commercial pig farming can be a great business idea and income source for the people and it can contribute the national income of our country highly.

For successful pig farming business you have to go through some step by step process. Here I am shortly describing the required steps for starting commercial pig farming business in India.

Select A Suitable Land

Selecting a suitable land or place is very important and first step for starting pig farming in India. While selecting land for pig farming try to ensure availability of all types of essential facilities for the pigs. Consider the followings while selecting or buying the land.

  • Ensure availability of sufficient amount of clean and fresh water in your selected area.
  • Select a calm and noise free area.
  • Try to select or buy land in rural area. Because land and labors are easily found in rural areas within very cheap rate.
  • Consider the facility of making a browsing place for your pigs.
  • Presence of a suitable market near your farm area will be very helpful. You will be able to sell your products and buy necessary commodities, vaccines and medications.
  • Good transportation system with the market will be very effective.
  • While selecting land consider the condition of veterinary service in your area.

Buy Productive Pig Breeds

After selecting or buying a suitable land for your farm, it’s time to buy some highly productive pig breeds . There are numerous pig breeds available throughout the world.

But all of those are not suitable for raising commercially. So, you have to choose the highly productive breeds. Most of the pig farmers of our country are raising low productive small sized pigs.

As a result they are not getting desired production. For commercial meat production we can choose some imported highly meat productive pig breeds.

Some of those highly productive pig breeds are listed below. They are available in our country and very suitable for commercial pig farming in India.

  • Large White Yorkshire: It is a large sized and most extensively used exotic pig breed in India. Their body is solid white colored with erect ears, dished face and snout of medium lengths. An adult boar (male pig) weights around 300 to 400 kg and an adult sow weights around 230 to 320 kg. Large White Yorkshire is an excellent pig breed for the purpose of cross breeding.
  • Landrace: Landrace is another highly meat productive pig breed. They have long sized body with long snout and large dropping ears. Their body color is white with black skin spot. They are also excellent for crossbreeding like Large White Yorkshire. An adult boar weights around 270 to 360 kg and an adult sow weights around 200 to 320 kg. Very suitable for commercial pig farming in India.
  • Middle White Yorkshire: This pig breed is used by the farmers in some areas of India. They are very fast growing and has a very good carcass quality/dressing percentage. An adult Middle White Yorkshire boar weights around 250 to 340 kg and an adult sow weights around 180 to 270 kg.
  • Other Breeds: Along with the above breeds, there are other pig breeds too. According to the weather of India some other breeds are suitable for farming. Hampshire , HS X1, Duroc , Indegenous, Ghungroo etc. are suitable for pig farming in India. But Large White Yorkshire, Landrace and Middle White Yorkshire are very suitable for commercial production.

Adequate housing and equipment is very important for successful pig farming business. Housing not only provide shelter but also keep them safe from inclement weather, parasites and various types of pig diseases.

While building house for the pigs consider availability of all types of necessary facilities for them. Make proper ventilation system.

Make proper facility for keeping the boar, farrowing, weaner and dry sow separated from each other. The required space for each type of pigs are listed in the following chart.

Feeding is the most important part of commercial pig farming in India. Growth, production and animal health depends on feeding high quality and nutritious feed. Select most economical ingredients for preparing feed.

The basic ingredients of pig feed are oat, grains, maize, wheat, rice, sorghum and other millets. You can add some protein supplements like oil cakes, fishmeal and meat meal.

Add all types of mineral supplement and vitamins. Add antibiotic supplements at the rate of 11 mg per kg. It would be better if you can allow your pigs to browse in the pasture and feed fresh green legumes.

The best way to feed the pigs of a farm is to keep and feed them separately. That means keep the different aged pigs separately and feed them according to their age and weight. Along with feeding nutritious food, always serve them sufficient amount of clean and fresh water.

Food demand varies according to the age and body weight of pigs. See the chart below to learn about the required daily feeds according to the body weight of different aged pigs.

252.0
503.2
1005.3
1506.8

Pig’s breeding process is very easy and simple. Generally, both male and female pigs become suitable for breeding within their 8 months of age.

Within this time they reach about 100 to 120 kg. The heat period of female pig lengths for 2 to 3 days. First day during the heat period of gilts is the best time to breed. And second day is best for sow.

A sow become suitable for breeding again after 2 to 10 days of weaning. The gestation period of pigs is not more than 115 days. A sow can give birth of piglets twice a year and about 8 to 12 piglets each time.

Care & Management

Always take good care of your animals. Try to keep them free from all types of health hazard and diseases. All male piglets are not necessary for breeding purpose.

You can keep some and rest can be castrated when they are 3 to 4 weeks old. Feed nutritious feed and take extra care of the sow during lactation period.

Also be very careful about the breeding boar, piglets and the pregnant sows. Vaccinate the piglets to prevent swine fever at their 2 to 4 weeks of age. Keep your pigs in calm and quiet place and never allow visitors inside the farm.

Marketing is the easiest process of commercial pig farming in India. Pig meat has a good domestic demand. You can easily sell your products in your local market or nearest big markets. You can also target the global market.

Commercial pig farming in India is really a very profitable business. And the social scenario of pig farming business has changed greatly. Now everyone is conscious about the economic importance of pig farming business in India.

So, if you are interested in setting up commercial pig farming in India then try to learn more about modern and scientific methods of pig farming . We cordially wish your success. Cheers!

What is a Pig Farm Business Plan?

A business plan provides a snapshot of your pig farm as it stands today, and lays out your growth plan for the next five years. It explains your business goals and your strategy for reaching them. It also includes market research to support your plans.

Why You Need a Business Plan for a Pig Farm

If you’re looking to start a pig farm, or grow your existing pig farm, you need a business plan. A business plan will help you raise funding, if needed, and plan out the growth of your pig farm in order to improve your chances of success. Your pig farm business plan is a living document that should be updated annually as your company grows and changes.

Sources of Funding for Pig Farms

With regards to funding, the main sources of funding for a pig farm are personal savings, credit cards, bank loans and angel investors. With regards to bank loans, banks will want to review your business plan and gain confidence that you will be able to repay your loan and interest. To acquire this confidence, the loan officer will not only want to confirm that your financials are reasonable, but they will also want to see a professional plan. Such a plan will give them the confidence that you can successfully and professionally operate a business. Personal savings and bank loans are the most common funding paths for pig farms.

Finish Your Business Plan Today!

If you want to start a pig farm or expand your current one, you need a business plan. Below are links to each section of your pig farm business plan template:

Executive Summary

Your executive summary provides an introduction to your business plan, but it is normally the last section you write because it provides a summary of each key section of your plan.

The goal of your Executive Summary is to quickly engage the reader. Explain to them the type of pig farm you are operating and the status. For example, are you a startup, do you have a pig farm that you would like to grow, or are you operating pig farms in multiple markets?

Next, provide an overview of each of the subsequent sections of your plan. For example, give a brief overview of the pig farm industry. Discuss the type of pig farm you are operating. Detail your direct competitors. Give an overview of your target customers. Provide a snapshot of your marketing plan. Identify the key members of your team. And offer an overview of your financial plan.

Company Analysis

In your company analysis, you will detail the type of pig farm you are operating.

For example, you might operate one of the following types of pig farms:

  • Farrow-to-finish pig farm : this type of pig farm involves breeding and farrowing sows, and feeding the offspring until they reach a market weight of about 280 pounds.
  • Farrow-to-feeder pig farm: this type of pig farm involves breeding and farrowing sows and then selling the piglets to finishing operations when they weigh 30 to 60 pounds.
  • Feeder-to-finish pig farm: this type of pig farm buys feeder pigs when they weigh 30 to 60 pounds and feed them to market weight.

In addition to explaining the type of pig farm you will operate, the Company Analysis section of your business plan needs to provide background on the business.

Include answers to question such as:

  • When and why did you start the business?
  • What milestones have you achieved to date? Milestones could include the number of customers served, number of positive reviews, reaching X amount of customers served, etc.
  • Your legal structure. Are you incorporated as an S-Corp? An LLC? A sole proprietorship? Explain your legal structure here.

Industry Analysis

In your industry analysis, you need to provide an overview of the pig farm industry.

While this may seem unnecessary, it serves multiple purposes.

First, researching the pig farm industry educates you. It helps you understand the market in which you are operating.

Secondly, market research can improve your strategy, particularly if your research identifies market trends.

The third reason for market research is to prove to readers that you are an expert in your industry. By conducting the research and presenting it in your plan, you achieve just that.

The following questions should be answered in the industry analysis section of your pig farm business plan:

  • How big is the pig farm industry (in dollars)?
  • Is the market declining or increasing?
  • Who are the key competitors in the market?
  • Who are the key suppliers in the market?
  • What trends are affecting the industry?
  • What is the industry’s growth forecast over the next 5 – 10 years?
  • What is the relevant market size? That is, how big is the potential market for your pig farm? You can extrapolate such a figure by assessing the size of the market in the entire country and then applying that figure to your local population.

Customer Analysis

The customer analysis section of your pig farm business plan must detail the customers you serve and/or expect to serve.

The following are examples of customer segments: grocery retailers, families, and individual buyers.

As you can imagine, the customer segment(s) you choose will have a great impact on the type of pig farm you operate. Clearly, families would respond to different marketing promotions than grocery retailers, for example.

Try to break out your target customers in terms of their demographic and psychographic profiles. With regards to demographics, include a discussion of the ages, genders, locations and income levels of the customers you seek to serve.

Psychographic profiles explain the wants and needs of your target customers. The more you can understand and define these needs, the better you will do in attracting and retaining your customers.

Don’t you wish there was a faster, easier way to finish your business plan?

With Growthink’s Ultimate Business Plan Template you can finish your plan in just 8 hours or less!

Competitive Analysis

Your competitive analysis should identify the indirect and direct competitors your business faces and then focus on the latter.

Direct competitors are other pig farms.

Indirect competitors are other options that customers have to purchase from that aren’t direct competitors. This includes grocery stores, farmers markets, pork alternatives (vegan), etc.

With regards to direct competition, you want to describe the other pig farms with which you compete. Most likely, your direct competitors will be pig farms located very close to your location.

For each such competitor, provide an overview of their businesses and document their strengths and weaknesses. Unless you once worked at your competitors’ businesses, it will be impossible to know everything about them. But you should be able to find out key things about them such as:

  • What type of pig farm are they?
  • What areas do they serve?
  • What types of customers do they serve?
  • What is their pricing (premium, low, etc.)?
  • What are they good at?
  • What are their weaknesses?

With regards to the last two questions, think about your answers from the customers’ perspective. And don’t be afraid to ask your competitors’ customers what they like most and least about them.

The final part of your competitive analysis section is to document your areas of competitive advantage. For example:

  • Will you provide pig farm products that your competitors don’t offer?
  • Will your pigs be raised in a better facility?
  • Will you provide better customer service?
  • Will you offer better pricing?

Think about ways you will outperform your competition and document them in this section of your plan.

Marketing Plan

Traditionally, a marketing plan includes the four P’s: Product, Price, Place, and Promotion. For a pig farm business plan, your marketing plan should include the following:

Product : In the product section, you should reiterate the type of pig farm that you documented in your Company Analysis. Then, detail the specific services you will be offering. For example, in addition to pig farm products, will you provide a petting zoo, chicken or cow products, and any other services?

Price : Document the prices you will offer and how they compare to your competitors. Essentially in the product and price sub-sections of your marketing plan, you are presenting the services you offer and their prices.

Place : Place refers to the location of your pig farm. Document your location and mention how the location will impact your success. For example, is your pig farm located in a rural setting, on the outskirts of a metropolitan area, the countryside, etc. Discuss how your location might be the ideal location for your customers.

Promotions : The final part of your pig farm marketing plan is the promotions section. Here you will document how you will drive customers to your location(s). The following are some promotional methods you might consider:

  • Advertising in local papers and magazines
  • Commercials
  • Social media marketing
  • Local radio advertising
  • Word-of-mouth

Operations Plan

While the earlier sections of your business plan explained your goals, your operations plan describes how you will meet them. Your operations plan should have two distinct sections as follows.

Everyday short-term processes include all of the tasks involved in running your pig farm, including cleaning and maintaining the pig farm and pigs, buying and/or selling pigs, preparing the pigs for slaughter, marketing, etc.

Long-term goals are the milestones you hope to achieve. These could include the dates when you expect to obtain your XXth customer, or when you hope to reach $X in revenue. It could also be when you expect to expand your pig farm to a new location.

Management Team

To demonstrate your pig farm’ ability to succeed, a strong management team is essential. Highlight your key players’ backgrounds, emphasizing those skills and experiences that prove their ability to grow a company.

Ideally you and/or your team members have direct experience in managing pig farms. If so, highlight this experience and expertise. But also highlight any experience that you think will help your business succeed.

If your team is lacking, consider assembling an advisory board. An advisory board would include 2 to 8 individuals who would act like mentors to your business. They would help answer questions and provide strategic guidance. If needed, look for advisory board members with experience in managing a pig farm or a large profitable farm.

Financial Plan

Your financial plan should include your 5-year financial statement broken out both monthly or quarterly for the first year and then annually. Your financial statements include your income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statements.

Income Statement : an income statement is more commonly called a Profit and Loss statement or P&L. It shows your revenues and then subtracts your costs to show whether you turned a profit or not.

In developing your income statement, you need to devise assumptions. For example, will you start with X number of pigs or will you expand your pig inventory slowly? And will sales grow by 2% or 10% per year? As you can imagine, your choice of assumptions will greatly impact the financial forecasts for your business. As much as possible, conduct research to try to root your assumptions in reality.

Balance Sheets : Balance sheets show your assets and liabilities. While balance sheets can include much information, try to simplify them to the key items you need to know about. For instance, if you spend $50,000 on building out your pig farm, this will not give you immediate profits. Rather it is an asset that will hopefully help you generate profits for years to come. Likewise, if a bank writes you a check for $50,000, you don’t need to pay it back immediately. Rather, that is a liability you will pay back over time.

Cash Flow Statement : Your cash flow statement will help determine how much money you need to start or grow your business, and make sure you never run out of money. What most entrepreneurs and business owners don’t realize is that you can turn a profit but run out of money and go bankrupt.

In developing your Income Statement and Balance Sheets be sure to include several of the key costs needed in starting or growing a pig farm:

  • Cost of pig farm construction and barn build-out
  • Cost of pig farm supplies, pigs, and equipment
  • Cost of marketing the pig farm
  • Payroll or salaries paid to staff
  • Business insurance
  • Taxes and permits
  • Legal expenses

Attach your full financial projections in the appendix of your plan along with any supporting documents that make your plan more compelling. For example, you might include your list of products your pig farm will offer, types of customers you will be targeting, and the areas your pig farm will serve.

Putting together a business plan for your pig farm is a worthwhile endeavor. If you follow the template above, by the time you are done, you will truly be an expert. You will really understand the pig farm industry, your competition, and your customers. You will have developed a marketing plan and will really understand what it takes to launch and grow a successful pig farm.

These breeds produce lean meat combined with efficient feed conversion. Compared to local pig breeds, these commercial breeds are less resistant to diseases and suffer more from hot weather and low-quality feeds.

5. Pig Feeds

Pig feeding is an important aspect of commercial pig farming. Overall, animal health and growth ratio depend on the availability of nutritious food. The basic ingredients of pig feed are oat, grains, maize, wheat, rice, sorghum, and other millets.

6. Breeding

And the second day is best for breeding. A sow becomes suitable for breeding again after 2 to 10 days of weaning. The gestation period for pigs is not more than 115 days. A sow can give birth to piglets twice a year and about 8 to 12 piglets each time.

7. Care & Piggery Management

8. marketing.

In starting a piggery, you must have a marketing plan. According to your farm size, you can plan for selling your mature pigs at good prices. Apart from the local slaughterhouse, the meat processing centers are the potential consumers.

Pig Farming Project Report

Pig farming is the breeding and raising domestic pigs for meat and skin production. Pigs are versatile animals that can be farmed in various ways, such as intensive commercial units, free-range commercial enterprises, or extensive farming. Commercial farms house thousands of pigs in climate-controlled buildings in developed nations, making intensive farming the most popular method due to its cost efficiency. Over one billion pigs are butchered worldwide yearly, with 100 million in the United States alone. Pigs provide meat but also skin, fat, and other materials for use in clothing, processed foods, cosmetics, and medical applications.

  • Feed costs usually account for 60-70% of pig farming expenses.
  • Proper nutrition and feeding practices can significantly impact pig growth rates, feed conversion ratios, and profitability.
  • Disease outbreaks can cause losses ranging from 3-20% of the herd, so pig farmers need to prioritize biosecurity measures and develop a disease prevention plan.
  • Genetics and breeding play a crucial role in pig farming profitability, with high-quality breeding stock leading to improved growth rates, litter sizes, and feed conversion ratios.
  • Pork prices can fluctuate based on supply and demand, with prices often dropping during periods of oversupply, so pig farmers need to be aware of market conditions and adjust their production and marketing strategies accordingly.
  • Pig housing design and management practices can impact pig health, productivity, and profitability, so proper housing design and management practices are important.
  • Pig manure can be a valuable resource for pig farmers, as it can be used as fertilizer or sold as compost, leading to additional revenue streams and reduced waste.

  • Pigs have the highest feed conversion efficiency, producing more live weight gain from a given feed weight than other meat-producing animals except for broilers. 
  • They are also versatile in their diet, as they can consume various feed types and convert them into nutritious meat. Moreover, pig farming requires minimal investment in buildings and equipment.
  • Pork is a nutritious meat with a high fat and low water content, rich in vitamins like thiamin, niacin, and riboflavin. 
  • Pig manure is a valuable fertilizer for agriculture farms and fish ponds. Pigs store fat quickly, making them in demand for various industries such as poultry feed, soap, paints, and chemicals.
  • Pig farming is a lucrative enterprise, providing quick returns since the marketable weight of fatteners can be achieved within 6-8 months. 
  • Additionally, there is a high demand for pig products, including pork, in domestic and export markets.

Some of the most popular pig breeds for commercial pig farming include Landrace, Yorkshire, Duroc, Hampshire, and Berkshire. Landrace pigs are known for their high fertility rate and large litter, while Yorkshire pigs have excellent feed conversion rates and produce lean meat. Duroc pigs are known for their fast growth rates and good meat quality, while Hampshire pigs are known for their meat flavor and tenderness. Berkshire pigs have flavorful meat and are often preferred for high-end restaurants. Choosing a breed well-suited for the pig farming operation’s specific conditions and market demands is important to ensure the best profitability and success.

6. SWOT Analysis

Humphrey GT & Family Farms Ltd does not intend to launch out with trial and error hence the need to conduct a proper SWOT analysis.

We know that if we get it right from the onset, we would have succeeded in creating the foundation that will help us build a standard pig farming business that will favorably compete with leading livestock farms in the United States of America and in the rest part of the world.

As a pig farming business, we look forward to maximizing our strength and opportunities and also to work around our weaknesses and threats. Here is a summary from the result of the SWOT analysis that was conducted on behalf of Humphrey GT & Family Farms Ltd;

Our strength as a livestock farming business is the fact that we have healthy relationships with loads of major players (agriculture merchants) in the livestock farming industry; both suppliers and buyers within and outside of the United States.

We have some of the latest livestock farming machines, tools and equipment that will help us breed pigs and other livestock in commercial quantities with less stress. Aside from our relationship (network) and equipment, we can confidently boast that we have some the most experienced hands in livestock farming industry under our payroll.

Our weakness could be that we are a new livestock cum pig farms in the United States and we may not have the required cash to pump into the publicity of our business. We are aware of this and from our projection will overcome this weakness with time and turn it to a major advantage for the business.

  • Opportunities:

The opportunities that are available to us as a pig farming business cannot be quantified, we know that there are loads of people, and industries that will source for pigs, pork, and also industries that will source for the raw materials from our livestock farms both in the United States of America and other parts of the world.

Some of the threats and challenges that we are likely going to face when we start our own livestock farm cum piggery business are global economic downturn that can impact negatively on household spending, bad weather cum natural disasters (draughts, epidemics), unfavorable government policies and the arrival of a competitor (a commercial farm that rear same animals) as our livestock farms within same location.

There is hardly anything you can do as regards this threats and challenges other than to be optimistic that things will continue to work for your good.

7. MARKET ANALYSIS

  • Market Trends

One of the common trends in the commercial livestock farming industry cum pig farming line of business is that most players in the industry are no longer concentrating only on farming a particular species of livestock or just livestock / pig farming alone.

They now find it easier to run both livestock farming and crop cultivation. Some even go ahead to include meat processing and packaging business alongside their product offerings; it helps them maximize profits in the agriculture industry.

Despite the fact that commercial pig farming / livestock farming has been in existence since time immemorial, that does not in any way make the industry to be over saturated; commercial pig farmers are now exploring new technology to continue to improve pig farming processes and also meat preservation and packaging process.

The fact that there is always a ready market for commercial pig farming makes the business evergreen. As a matter of fact, one of the new trends in livestock farming industry is that with the recent advancement in technology livestock farmers can now improve the various breeds of the animals they are breeding.

As a matter of fact, it is now easier for livestock farmers to comfortably import the kind of breed of domestic animal they want to breed from any country of their choice and also advancement in technology has made it easier to cross – breed different species of animal.

8. Our Target Market

As you would expect, the target market of those who are the end consumer of livestock farm produce and also those who benefits from the business value chain of the agriculture industry is all encompassing; it is far – reaching.

Every household consumes produce from livestock farms be it meat, milk, and the skin (leather) used for bags, belts and shoes production et al. So also a large chunk of manufacturing companies depends on livestock farms for some of their raw materials. In essence a pig farmer should be able to sell his or her farm produce to as many people as possible.

We will ensure that we position our business to attract consumers of agriculture produce not just in the United States of America alone but also other parts of the world which is why we will be exporting some of our livestock farm produce either in raw form or processed form to other countries of the world.

Our Competitive Advantage

It is common to find entrepreneur flocking towards an industry that is known to generate consistent income which is why there are more commercial livestock farmers in the United States of America and of course in most parts of the world.

For example, Statistics has it that there were 2.2 million farms in the United States of America, covering an area of 922 million acres. These goes to show that there are appreciable numbers of livestock farmers in the United States of America but that does not mean that there is stiffer competition in the industry.

As a matter of fact, entrepreneurs are encouraged by the government to embrace commercial farming / livestock farming. This is so because part of the success of any nation is her ability to cultivate her own food and also export food to other nations of the world.

Humphrey GT & Family Farms Ltd is fully aware that there are competitions when it comes to selling livestock and meats all over the globe, which is why we decided to carry out thorough research so as to know how to take advantage of the available market in the United States and in other parts of the world.

We have done our homework and we have been able to highlight some factors that will give us competitive advantage in the marketplace; some of the factors are effective and reliable livestock farming processes that can help us sell our livestock and processed meat at competitive prices, good network and excellent relationship management.

Another competitive advantage that we are bringing to the industry is the fact that we have designed our business in such a way that we will operate an all – round standard commercial livestock farms that will be involved in diverse areas such as animal rearing and meat processing and packaging plant. With this, we will be able to take advantage of all the available opportunities within the industry.

Lastly, our employees will be well taken care of, and their welfare package will be amongst the best in the industry meaning that they will be more than willing to build the business with us and help deliver our set goals and achieve all our objectives as a standard commercial livestock farms with a meat processing and packaging plant.

9. SALES AND MARKETING STRATEGY

  • Sources of Income

Humphrey GT & Family Farms Ltd is in the livestock breeding industry cum pig farming business for the purpose of maximizing profits hence we have decided to explore all the available opportunities within the industry to achieve our corporate goals and objectives.

In essence we are not going to rely only on the sale of our livestock to generate income for the business but also other business interests within the value chain. Below are the sources we intend exploring to generate income for Humphrey GT & Family Farms Ltd;

10. Sales Forecast

From the survey and market research conducted, we were able to discover that the sales generated by a commercial livestock farm depend on the size of the farm, the network of the farm.

We have perfected or sales and marketing strategies and we are set to hit the ground running and we are quite optimistic that we will meet or even surpass our set sales target of generating enough income / profits from the year of operations and build the business from survival to sustainability.

We have been able to critically examine the agriculture industry cum commercial livestock farm business and we have analyzed our chances in the industry and we have been able to come up with the following sales forecast.

The sales projection is based on information gathered on the field and some workable assumptions as well with respect to the nature of commercial livestock farm / pig farming business that we want to run. Below are the projections that we were able to come up with for the first three years of running Humphrey GT & Family Farms Ltd;

  • First Fiscal Year-:  $200,000
  • Second Fiscal Year-:  $450,000
  • Third Fiscal Year-:  $700,000

N.B : This projection is done based on what is obtainable in the industry and with the assumption that there won’t be any major economic meltdown that can impact negatively on household spending, bad weather cum natural disasters (draughts, epidemics), and unfavorable government policies . Please note that the above projection might be lower and at the same time it might be higher.

  • Marketing Strategy and Sales Strategy

We are quite aware that the reason why some commercial livestock farms hardly make good profits is their inability to sell off their livestock to a larger market. In view of that, we decided to set up a standard meat processing and packing plant to help us maximize profits in the industry.

Our goal is to grow Humphrey GT & Family Farms Ltd to become the leading livestock cum pig farms in the whole of Des Moines – Iowa and environ which is why we have mapped out strategy that will help us take advantage of the available market and grow to become a major force to reckon with in the livestock farming industry.

Over and above, we have perfected our sale and strategies in marketing our commercial farm produce;

  • Introduce our business by sending introductory letters alongside our brochure to stake holders in the agriculture industry, companies that rely on the livestock farming industry for their raw materials, hotels and restaurants and agriculture produce merchant et al.
  • Advertise our business and livestock farms in agro – allied and food related magazines and websites
  • List our commercial livestock farms on yellow pages ads (local directories)
  • Print out fliers and business cards and strategically drop them in offices, libraries, public facilities and train stations et al.
  • Attend related agriculture / livestock and food expos, seminars, and business fairs et al
  • Leverage on the internet to promote our business
  • Engage in direct marketing
  • Encourage the use of word of mouth marketing (referrals)

11. Publicity and Advertising Strategy

Any business that wants to grow beyond the corner of the street or the city they are operating from must be ready and willing to utilize every available means (both conventional and non – conventional means) to advertise and promote the business.

We intend growing our business which is why we have perfected plans to build our brand via every available means. We know that it is important to create strategies that will help us boost our brand awareness and to create a corporate identity for our commercial livestock farming business.

Below are the platforms we want to leverage on to boost our commercial livestock cum pig farm brand and to promote and advertise our business;

  • Place adverts on both print (newspapers and magazines) and electronic media platforms
  • Sponsor relevant community based events / programs
  • Leverage on the internet and social media platforms like; Instagram, Facebook , twitter, YouTube, Google + et al to promote our business
  • Install our Bill Boards on strategic locations all around Des Moines – Iowa
  • Engage in road show from time to time in targeted neighborhoods
  • Distribute our fliers and handbills in target areas
  • Contact corporate organizations and residence in our target areas by calling them up and informing them of Humphrey GT & Family Farms Ltd and the farm produce we sell
  • List our commercial livestock farms in local directories / yellow pages
  • Advertise our commercial livestock farms in our official website and employ strategies that will help us pull traffic to the site.
  • Ensure that all our staff members wear our branded shirts and all our vehicles and trucks are well branded with our company logo et al.

12. Our Pricing Strategy

We are aware that if you want to get the right pricing for your livestock, then you should ensure that you choose a good location for your commercial livestock farm, choose a good breed that will guarantee steady and multiple breeding (prolific breeds), cut the cost of running your farm to the barest minimum .

You should also try as much as possible to attract buyers to your farm as against taking your livestock or even your produce to the market to source for buyers; with this, you would have successfully eliminate the cost of transporting the goods to the market and other logistics.

So also, we are quite conversant that one of the easiest means of penetrating the market and acquiring loads of customers for all our livestock produce is to sell them at competitive prices hence we will do all we can to ensure that the prices of our livestock and processed and packaged beef are going to be what other commercial livestock farmers would look towards beating.

One thing is certain; the nature of commercial livestock farming we are involved in makes it possible for farmers to place prices for their livestock / farm produce based on their discretion without following the benchmark in the industry.

The truth is that it is one of the means of avoiding running into loss. The easier you sell off your livestock when they are mature the better for your business.

  • Payment Options

The payment policy adopted by Humphrey GT & Family Farms Ltd is all inclusive because we are quite aware that different customers prefer different payment options as it suits them but at the same time, we will ensure that we abide by the financial rules and regulation of the United States of America.

Here are the payment options that Humphrey GT & Family Farms Ltd will make available to her clients;

  • Payment via bank transfer
  • Payment with cash
  • Payment via online bank transfer
  • Payment via check
  • Payment via bank draft

In view of the above, we have chosen banking platforms that will enable our client make payment for farm produces purchase without any stress on their part. Our bank account numbers will be made available on our website and promotional materials to clients who may want to deposit cash or make online transfer for our livestock and processed pork.

13. Startup Expenditure (Budget)

When it comes to calculating the cost of starting a commercial livestock farm, there are some key factors that should serve as a guide. The most important expenses are the construction of the piggery, cattle ranch / cages / fencing as the case may be.

For example, the start – up cost for a fish farm is different from the start – up cost for mechanized crop farming, so also the start – up cost for poultry farming is different from the start – up cost of cattle ranch (dairy farm) et al. As a matter of fact, if you choose to start mechanized crop farming, then you should be willing to raise huge capital base to start the business.

This is so because some cultivation machines / equipment can be pretty expensive. Below are some of the basic areas we will spend our start – up capital in setting up our commercial livestock cum pig farm;

  • The Total Fee for incorporating the Business in United States of America – $750.
  • The total cost for payment of insurance policy covers (general liability, workers’ compensation and property casualty) coverage at a total premium – $9,400
  • The amount needed to acquire / lease a farm land  – $50,000
  • The amount required for preparing the farm land (for construction of piggery and cages / fencing et al et al) – $70,000
  • The cost for acquiring the required working tools and equipment / machines / fencing et al– $50,000
  • The amount required for purchase of the first set of piglets, pigs and other livestock – $50,000
  • Operational cost for the first 3 months (salaries of employees, payments of bills et al) – $40,000
  • The Cost of Launching an official Website – $600
  • The amount required for payment of workers for a period of 3 months – $100,000
  • Additional Expenditure (Business cards, Signage, Adverts and Promotions et al) – $2,000

Going by the report from detailed research and feasibility studies conducted, we will need an average of $350,000 to start a standard commercial livestock cum pig farming business in the United States of America.

Generating Funding/Startup Capital for Shae’s Touch Studios Business

No matter how fantastic your business idea might be, if you don’t have the required money to finance the business, the business might not become a reality. Finance is a very important factor when it comes to starting a business such as greenhouse commercial farming.

No doubt raising start – up capital for a business might not come cheap, but it is a task that an entrepreneur must go through. Humphrey GT & Family Farms Ltd is a family business that will be owned and managed by Humphrey G. Thomas and his immediate family members.

They are the sole financial of the firm, but may likely welcome other partners later which is why they decided to restrict the sourcing of the start – up capital for the business to just three major sources. These are the areas where we intend sourcing for fund for Humphrey GT & Family Farms Ltd;

  • Generate part of the start – up capital from personal savings and sale of his stocks
  • Generate part of the start – up capital from friends and other extended family members
  • Generate a larger chunk of the startup capital from the bank (loan facility).

N.B: We have been able to generate about $100,000 (Personal savings $80,000 and soft loan from family members $20,000 ) and we are at the final stages of obtaining a loan facility of $250,000 from our bank. All the papers and document has been duly signed and submitted, the loan has been approved and any moment from now our account will be credited.

14. Sustainability and Expansion Strategy

The future of a business lies in the numbers of loyal customers that they have the capacity and competence of the employees, their investment strategy and the business structure. If all of these factors are missing from a business (company), then it won’t be too long before the business close shop.

One of our major goals of starting Humphrey GT & Family Farms Ltd is to build a business that will survive off its own cash flow without the need for injecting finance from external sources once the business is officially running.

We know that one of the ways of gaining approval and winning customers over is to sell our farm produce (livestock and processed pork) a little bit cheaper than what is obtainable in the market and we are well prepared to survive on lower profit margin for a while.

Humphrey GT & Family Farms Ltd will make sure that the right foundation, structures and processes are put in place to ensure that our staff welfare are well taken of. Our organization’s corporate culture is designed to drive our business to greater heights and training and retraining of our workforce is at the top burner of our business strategy.

As a matter of fact, profit-sharing arrangement will be made available to all our management staff and it will be based on their performance for a period of five years or more as determined by the management of the organization. We know that if that is put in place, we will be able to successfully hire and retain the best hands we can get in the industry; they will be more committed to help us build the business of our dreams.

Pigs are reared by the poorest of the rural people and they provide meat, dung and few byproducts like bristles, etc. These animals have wide adaptability to suit for different agro-climatic conditions. Pig farming can play an important role in improving the socioeconomic status of this section if existing constraints on their economic rearing are removed. Pig farming as a commercial venture is yet to be adopted in all countries. Pig farming will offer employment opportunities to seasonally employ rural farmers and supplementary income to improve their living standards. Some advantages of pig farming are:

  • The pig has got maximum feed conversion efficiency, i.e. they produce live weight gain from a given weight of feed than any other class of meat-producing animals except broilers.
  • Pig can utilize a wide range of feedstuffs viz. Grains, forages, damaged feeds and the garbage and convert them into valuable nutritious meat. However, feeding on spoiled grains, garbage, and other unbalanced rations may result in lower feed efficiency.
  • Pigs are prolific with a shorter generation interval. A sow can be bred as early as 8 to 9 months of age and can farrow twice in a year. They produce 6 to 12 piglets in each farrowing.
