Raising different breeds of pigs for meat. Profitable business at home - raising pigs

311 03/15/2019 6 min.

A stable business is inextricably linked with the needs of consumers and can bring good profits to its owner. In this review, we will focus on raising pigs for sale. Meat has an ideal ratio of demand and cost, yielding in this indicator only to bread. The price of meat products is constantly growing, which means that the companies involved in its sale remain in a constant plus. Pork is sold well, in its segment it belongs to the “golden mean” category, and the business itself does not lose relevance over time. Of course, there are risks, but they can be planned. More details below.

What to consider in the early stages

Raising pigs is the most profitable meat industry. Pigs quickly gain weight, reproduce well, and are prolific. One sow gives about 20-30 babies (12-15 kg), this figure can be much higher under certain conditions. The period of bearing offspring is 3 months, breastfeeding - 1-2 months, after which the piglets become completely independent.

Piglets gain weight very quickly - as a result, you can get 4 times more meat from them than from cattle.

The body of a pig absorbs food as much as possible (for example, a chicken perceives them only by a third). The slaughter yield of meat is high, there is little waste. The disadvantages of the direction are labor intensity, complex maintenance, significant capital investments and certain production risks. Profitability indicators will be discussed at the end of this review. The main risks are a high level of morbidity in animals. Be sure to take into account such costs as the involvement of zootechnicians and veterinarians. Even before the opening of the SPD, it is desirable to find sources of sales - at least the main ones, later the partner network can be expanded.

It is necessary to start a pig breeding business by choosing the breed that is most suitable for your conditions of detention.

Documentation

To organize a home pig farm, you will need not only piglets, feed, special equipment, equipment, machinery, but also relevant documents. To begin with, pass a check at the SES (the animals must be examined by a veterinarian) and receive an expert opinion. The cost of the examination varies and ranges from 150 rubles. You will also need to register the SPD and make a certificate of conformity. Certificates are issued for each batch separately and have a cost of 4000 rubles. Other authorities that you will have to deal with when starting a business are fire, veterinary control, Rospotrebnadzor.

Before opening a business, you must receive a certificate from the SES, for this you need to pass a veterinary inspection

Helpful advice. If the production volumes are planned to be small, register as private household plots. In other cases, IP is needed.important

Production part

The production part of pig breeding as a business involves taking into account the following indicators.

Selection of piglets

It’s impossible to say unequivocally which breeds are better, it all depends on the goals of management. The main directions are meat, meat-fat, universal. The most popular breeds are Landrace, Duroc, Large White, Mirgorod, Vietnamese bellies. Particular attention should be paid to the health of young animals when buying - only active, vigorous piglets will bring you high profits in the future.

Territory

Landscaping is another important aspect of the business line under consideration. We are talking about land for the construction of outbuildings, the proper arrangement of the site for walking. For 10 individuals, you immediately need from 25 square meters, a vestibule and a corridor. A walking area is considered separately - from 10 acres. To store inventory, it is most convenient to use a barn or pantry.

Almost all pig farmers expand over time. When making a small farm, provide opportunities for this. Renting might be a good option.

room

Make sure the pigs are comfortable. The best option for a pigsty is a brick building with wooden lining on the walls and concrete floors. It is impossible to keep a sow with cubs together with everyone - you need a mother liquor. If possible, you can keep each pig separately from each other - they will still have contact on the walk, and you will have fewer problems.

At the initial stage of doing business, a pigsty can be equipped from an old barn, which needs to be insulated for winter

Feeding

You can grow your own feed or purchase it in the required quantities from a supplier. The first method is good for a large herd, the second for a small one. Be sure to feed the breed in accordance with current requirements - there are omnivorous pigs that grow well on everything, and there are animals that are rather capricious in care, including feeding. So bellied piglets can only be given grass, and proteins will have to be abandoned.

Agricultural machinery

An electric mower, a tractor with a trailer is needed to maintain a large herd. It is not necessary to buy equipment - there are rental services. If the pig farm is small, it is even more profitable. Some livestock breeders do without technology at all.

Staff

Maintaining a large farm can be difficult, even for the whole family. Therefore, we recommend that you consider hiring professional staff - a cleaner, a janitor, a tractor driver. You can also hire specialists to care for animals, slaughterers.

What breeds are suitable

The main breeds are meat, greasy and universal. Consider the features of each direction.

Meat

Pigs of this direction give high quality meat, quickly gain weight. The fat content in the carcass is 29-37%, depending on the breed. T the catch is long, the sternum is not very deep.

In bacon pigs, muscle tissue develops well, and fats are deposited slowly.

Popular breeds:

  1. Duroc- large pigs, the body of the sows is slightly elongated. The carcass is wide, massive, the back is concave, slightly elongated upwards. Active and hardy pigs, the color is predominantly red.
  2. Pietrain- the breed has a wide short body, light thin bones, massive ham. The head is light, small, the profile is straight, the back is muscular and wide. Color - pure white or motley. Farrowing - up to 8 piglets.
  3. gemshire- pigs of medium size, grow slowly at first, but then catch up with their fellow tribesmen. Carcasses are meat, the fat layer is insignificant. Pigs of the breed are very shy.

Universal

At first, there is more muscle tissue in universal breeds than fat, but in the process of growing up, their ratio changes. Breeds:

  1. Large white- pigs have a wide back, a massive body, round shaped hams, powerful legs. The skin is smooth, white, elastic. The bristle is white, evenly covers the carcass.
  2. Siberian northern- the breed tolerates severe cold well, has a high degree of productivity. The bristles are thick, long, the skeleton is well developed. The head is small, the ears are hanging. The legs are not long, the hooves are strong.

sebaceous

Greasy pigs have a short period of muscle growth, and fat is deposited much faster than beef breeds. The body of the pigs is small, the hams are clearly marked. The girth of the chest is equal to the girth of the body or exceeds it. The head is large, with large ears.

Main breeds:

  1. Mirgorodskaya- unpretentious in care, stress-resistant animals. Color - variegated black, red and orange shades may be present. The body is strong, like a barrel. The head is proportional to the body, has a large size. Ears are usually erect.
  2. Ukrainian pockmarked Animals tolerate heat and cold well. The yield of meat is good, so some sources classify speckled pigs as universal destinations. Color - from red to black. The body is large.

Costs and payback

Although raising pigs is a profitable business, it has its own pitfalls. By default, an open SPD will not bring huge profits - a clear action plan is needed. Therefore, draw up a business project, calculate the livestock, the area necessary for growing a herd, record all expenses and calculations. For ease of perception, we decided to present investments in the first year of doing business in the form of a table.

Item of expenses Price, rub.) Quantity Amount (rub.)

findings

  1. Pig breeding- business is labor-intensive, but profitable. It is associated with significant investments and risks of morbidity, falling livestock.
  2. Young growth choose healthy and strong- with him problems will be much less.
  3. Not all farmers use agricultural machinery, some do without additional staff. But in most cases, you need both.
  4. Monitor the diet and conditions of animals- in this case, the profitability of the business will be maximum.
  5. The main breeds that can be grown in the household- meat, meat-fat, universal.

Pork production is beneficial both for the family and for business development. In any economic situation, there will be a piece of meat on the table. With a small investment, you can start a pig breeding business in your own backyard. The unique animal will provide a stable income both when raising livestock for meat and when keeping sows for the sale of offspring.

Objective data on the efficiency of keeping pigs:


  • rapid increase in marketable weight, for a year of maintenance, the live weight of a newborn piglet increases 140 times;
  • carcass weight compared to live weight is 85%, while in cattle it is 50-60%;
  • for farrowing, the uterus brings up to 14 piglets, depending on the breed, each of which will bring 100-200 dollars in a month;
  • pigs absorb up to 30% of the feed composition, in other domestic animals this figure does not exceed 20%.

The right choice of breed and a small investment will allow beginners to breed pigs at home to create a successful business. To meet the family's needs for meat and fat, it is enough to buy two piglets in early spring. Babies don't need a lot of space to keep. In summer, animals grow rapidly. With the onset of autumn, there are a lot of plant residues in the courtyard, which are a good food base. For intensive feeding of pigs for two months before slaughter, it will be necessary to increase the consumption of protein feed. Except for the labor of caring for the pigs, a year's supply of pork is cheap. You don't need a warm pigsty. But there are requirements for fattening pigs that must be met.

Keeping pigs at home requires the right approach to choosing food. So a baby at the age of one month needs:

  • the predominance of dairy products and cereals based on milk or its substitutes;
  • the use of special premixes for piglets containing special sets of vitamins and antibiotics so that the babies grow up healthy;
  • maintain a feeding frequency that is appropriate for the age and size of the piglet's stomach.

When fattening a piglet from 2 to 4 months, do not include only puree or push in the diet. Root crops are best given boiled and chopped. Carrots are more useful to feed raw grated, the grass should be finely chopped and boiled with boiling water.

After slaughter, the pig carcass is treated with a blowtorch to remove bristles. A high pressure washer will help to wash off the carbon deposits. A compact car wash is available from car owners. The use of this processing method improves the presentation of the product.

Entrepreneurial activity for breeding and fattening pigs

Any business requires planning. A business plan for breeding pigs should include expenditure and income parts. Pig breeding is a profitable business only if the requirements for the conditions of keeping and feeding animals are observed.

Therefore, the main item in the cost estimate is the construction of a pigsty based on an area of ​​​​4 square meters. m per one fattening unit and 6 squares per sow. The room should include a den, a walking area and a canopy from the sun. A bathing area must be provided for pigs. If feeding is carried out in a common trough, there must be enough space for each animal to approach.

The barn must be strong so that the pig does not go free as a result of digging. In the pigsty, provide:

  • roof, excluding leakage;
  • natural and combined lighting;
  • capital walls, excluding freezing;
  • floor with waste disposal chutes and clean, dry bedding;
  • room ventilation.

When indoors, there should be a walking area, but in the summer, pigs spend most of their time on it. In the fresh air, a set of muscle mass is faster, animals get sick less.


The expenditure part includes the acquisition of thoroughbred individuals. For the commercial production of meat, the breeding of pigs of the desired breed must be carried out on the farm. This will reduce the cost of acquiring piglets on the side and will allow you to get healthy offspring for the herd.

If piglets are purchased from other farms, they must be quarantined until the herd is formed. It is necessary to include in the cost estimate the vaccination of the herd at each stage of development. Without a certificate of veterinary control of the livestock, the legal sale of meat will be impossible.

The current cost item will be the purchase of special feed for pigs, premixes and vitamin complexes. However, food is much cheaper than meat. The cost of production is traditionally high. And if the technology of growing business is observed, the risk is minimized, but this item of expenditure needs to be planned.

With a large number of pigs, dry feeding is preferable. Increased feed costs will pay off with higher weight gain and lower maintenance costs during fattening. At the same time, it is important to provide animals with water at 6-8 liters per head per day.

In the income part, it is taken into account that one sow can give up to 14 piglets, the fattening of which will provide up to 3 tons of marketable products. Distribute profits according to the timing of production. If the resulting balance does not give the expected profit, the pig breeding business plan needs to be optimized. That is to find cheaper or suckers. Successful pig breeders in the backyard receive up to 1000% profit in 2-3 years.

In order for raising pigs at home, as a business, to be successful, the following rules should be followed:

  • observe hygienic conditions for keeping pigs;
  • do not miss the time of castration of wild boars;
  • carry out preventive measures against diseases and beriberi in livestock;
  • observe the time and frequency of feeding animals, ensure constant access to water.

It is impossible to feed feed with mold and signs of souring of liquid feed. Feeders should be periodically treated with boiling water.

When buying offspring from thoroughbred pigs, you need to know about the structural features of animals. You can get pork with a predominance of fat, bacon or meat from a specific breed.

Is it profitable to keep pigs? There is no other way to provide the family with meat at cost. To organize a business with a small number of heads, meat will be sold without going to trading floors. Neighbors will be buyers. Livestock products are always in steady demand.

Revolution in agriculture - video


Pork is the most purchased type of meat. This is one of the main reasons why novice farmers prefer to breed pigs. In addition, the process of caring for these animals is less time-consuming and costly than for cattle. This is true for just developing entrepreneurship, as well as for those who work alone.

General characteristics of the business

According to statistics, the consumption of pork meat in Russia is 2 million tons annually. Therefore, there is a demand for these meat products. In addition, due to the current situation in the foreign market, imported meat has become a rare product, so the need for domestic supplies has increased. Conclusion: breeding pigs is promising.

Pig breeding is the cultivation and breeding of several heads of pigs in order to obtain and sell the product. At the initial stages of business, dairy pigs are acquired, which are fattened, and they are properly cared for. As soon as artiodactyls gain the desired weight (usually 100 kg or more), they are sent for slaughter, receiving meat, offal and lard. Several pigs are left to produce offspring.

Advantages and disadvantages of pig farming

Raising pigs as a business has its pros and cons.

Advantages:

  • short period of growing animals - from six months to 9 months;
  • high productivity: from a hundred kilogram pork carcass, the output is 55% meat and 35% fat;
  • high and fast fertility: for 1 time the sow brings offspring of 10-15 piglets, and the gestation time lasts 3.5 months;
  • omnivorousness of pigs: these domestic animals are one of the few that are able to eat everything that they are offered;
  • constant high demand for finished products.

Disadvantages:

  • caring for pigs is a laborious and difficult process, which involves both cleaning the animals themselves and cleaning the pigsty, carried out 1 time in 4-5 days;
  • newborn piglets, a farrowing sow and a female preparing for this process are subject to special careful care and supervision and must be kept separately from other individuals;
  • significant capital investment required to start a business. More details about where to get money for business development - will tell;
  • pigs are more susceptible to infection with infectious diseases than other domestic animals, which in a few days can reduce the number of livestock, therefore, it is necessary to comply with sanitary standards for keeping animals, as well as to vaccinate on time.

Approximate starting capital

The opening of pig breeding requires certain initial investments, which, with the successful development of the business, will pay off in a short time (six months to a year). Next, we present an approximate initial cost, taking into account that the entrepreneur already has a land plot:

Thus, to start the development of the livestock business, you will need to invest 120-130 thousand rubles.

Profitability, payback

In the livestock industry, raising pigs is the most profitable business. According to statistics, it is from this business that the owners have 20%, while poultry farming brings 15-17%, and cattle breeding - no more than 10%.

But before you start counting, you need to open a business, having previously assessed the profitability of the future enterprise. To do this, a detailed calculation of the initial investment and possible production costs is carried out. In addition, it is necessary to take into account all types of products that will be obtained from pig breeding: meat, lard, manure.

What is included in the concept of initial costs:

  • purchase or lease of land;
  • construction of pigsties;
  • purchase of the necessary equipment;
  • acquisition of the first individuals for further breeding.

It is not uncommon for a novice pig breeder to already have his own land, even if not for an industrial scale. In this case, the maximum expenses will be directed to the construction of sheds and pens for pigs, as well as their equipment.

Production costs are as follows:

  • feed, medicines for animals;
  • payment for electricity, fuel, water;
  • salaries for working personnel;
  • transportation costs;
  • other minor expenses.

At this point, the most expensive item is the purchase of pig feed, since it will need to be purchased constantly and in considerable quantities. It is also worth setting the amount of wages for workers, which varies depending on the region.

You can make an approximate profit calculation: if 1 kg of pork costs an average of 300 rubles, then one adult pig weighing more than 100 kg will bring a profit of 25,000-27,000 rubles. If we take as a basis the percentage of profitability from the case at 20%, then the net income per animal will be 4000-5000 rubles.

What breeds of pigs to breed?

In total, there are just over 100 breeds of pigs in the world. All of them differ in color, size and maximum weight gained. It is customary to subdivide all representatives of these artiodactyls into 4 groups of production value:

  • meat;
  • sebaceous;
  • meat-fat.

Meat, or bacon, breeds are represented by several varieties, but for the Russian regions the most suitable are:

  • Don;
  • Kemerovo;
  • Urzhumskaya;
  • large black.

Such pigs quickly gain weight over 250 kg, build up a lot of meat, have good frost resistance and immunity, and are less whimsical to keep.

If a novice entrepreneur prefers to breed pigs for lard, then he should make a choice in favor of the following breeds:

  • Ukrainian steppe;
  • Mirgorodskaya;
  • Mangalitskaya;
  • black large.

Representatives of sebaceous species can be distinguished by their characteristic external features:

  • large dimensions;
  • in a fattened adult animal, the girth of the sternum is equal to or greater than the length of the body;
  • the head is large, the jaw is massive;
  • curled ears hanging over the eyes;
  • the neck is weakly expressed: the head flows smoothly into the body;
  • legs of pigs are short but massive;
  • the skin is lined with long, thick and soft bristles.

Bacon breeds, which are also suitable for business development in Russia:

  • white meat;
  • meat Duroc;
  • Estonian bacon;
  • Landrace;
  • Pietrain;
  • Tamworth.

The universal (meat) breed is the most suitable for home breeding pigs. The thing is that from these animals you can get and sell sufficient amounts of meat and fat, and fat is formed in mature individuals. Its layer is small, the texture is soft and tender.

The most popular universal breeds are:

  • white large;
  • Breitian;
  • Siberian northern.

For breeding pigs, it is required to provide decent care for animals, otherwise the business will not bring profit. This will require:

  • Regular feeding with balanced food. If at home pigs are bred not for themselves, but for sale, then for active and rapid growth they need to be fed not only with food waste and plant products, but also with balanced feed, which will have to be purchased from the manufacturer. In addition, animals need constant access to clean water.
  • Good pigsties, which should be spacious, clean, insulated and without drafts. Separate pens for young piglets and sows should also be provided in pigsties.
  • To develop a profitable business, the animals must be cared for by hired specialists: veterinarians, animal technicians and agronomists.

Equipment

For a decent development of domestic pig production, as well as to facilitate the care of animals, some equipment for small enterprises will be needed:

  • automated feeders that independently control the number and time of distribution of portions;
  • organic waste disposal systems;
  • ventilation ducts and installations for rooms with more than 10 pigs;
  • systems that regulate and maintain optimal temperature conditions.

Breeding

Since the breeding of pigs is designed to make a profit, it is necessary to constantly replenish the number of pigs. This requires mating of sows with males. Animals are ready for the breeding process already in the first six months of life, but experts recommend keeping males away from females earlier than after 10 months.

If the female is not ready for farrowing, then this is fraught with the following consequences:

  • death of offspring and sow;
  • health problems in piglets and females;
  • an increase in excess fat or underweight in offspring.

The sow needs to be prepared for mating: wait for the age of 10 months, fatten to a large size.

The process of mating male and female should take place in a separate paddock. Also, a separate place will be required when farrowing a sow. In anticipation of the appearance of piglets, the place must be cleaned and disinfected, the necessary instruments for childbirth must be prepared, and the presence of a veterinarian is also necessary.

Prevention and treatment of diseases

Pigs are prone to diseases that often provoke their death. In order to prevent a decrease in the number of individuals, it is necessary to carry out preventive measures:

  • observation of the external state and behavior of individuals;
  • control over the feeding process;
  • regular temperature measurement rectally;
  • regular cleaning of the premises for keeping artiodactyls.

As for the treatment of infectious diseases, in some cases it is not carried out - the infected animal is simply killed. Some types of diseases are treated with antibiotics, serums, vaccinations.

Legal registration of a pig breeding business

Domestic pig farming carried out for profit must be legal and legally registered. To do this, you will need to prepare a package of documents that you can collect on your own or with the help of a specialist.

First you need to issue if the number of heads exceeds the mark of 100 individuals. If the farm is more modest than the indicated figure, then you can arrange a simple household plot.

For individual entrepreneurs, when registering a business, you will need to indicate - the All-Russian Classifier of Types of Economic Activity - with the number "01.46.11", which stands for "raising pigs for meat."

Breeding pigs is a laborious process, which, with the proper approach, will begin to bring decent profit for home business in a couple of years. With the development of pig breeding, it is possible to grow from a small farm into an industrial enterprise that brings even greater income.

Is pig farming profitable as a business at home? It would seem that the answer to this simple question is always positive. However, one can rejoice at the successful functioning of a domestic pig farm only when it is organized wisely, that is, everything is taken into account. Let's see what a novice farmer who decides to keep piglets at home needs.

There are several arguments in favor of raising piglets at home. Pigs are familiar to us, extremely useful pets:

  • the sow has an offspring of 10-14 piglets. For a year you can get 20-30 individuals. During this period, a cow can give you no more than one calf;
  • piglets are growing fast. During the first week of life, their weight doubles, and in six months the animal grows to one centner. This herd is capable of giving you two or three tons of meat at home;
  • piglets use feed more productively than other animals on the farm. For example, a chicken absorbs 20% of the feed, but a pig - more than 30%;
  • keeping piglets at home is more profitable than the same bulls: you get 50-60% of beef - up to 85%;
  • pork in our country enjoys enduring popularity. Many goodies are made from it industrially and at home, for which there is always a buyer;
  • if you are a rural resident, you do not have to get acquainted with the features at home: you know a lot about a lot, neighbors can tell you something, and there is a lot of information on this topic.

But no matter how attractive the business is, the desire to keep piggy is not enough. It is necessary to think over the organization of the whole process and take into account its necessary components.

Farm organization

Experts say that the profitability of a pig farm depends on three main conditions. The first is, the second is feeding and the third is the conditions of detention. Therefore, the organization of the farm must be taken seriously.

If you already have your own small plot of land, this is ideal. The minimum area for the construction of a mini-pig farm is 50 acres. It is better if it is located away from houses: not everyone likes the neighborhood of pigs. In addition to the farm itself, you will need a granary, a hayloft and a workshop.

Premises and territory

When constructing a granary, proceed from the fact that for every 10 piglets you need to store 6 tons of grain. It's wise to think about spare storage space. Its height must be at least 6 meters. Take care of strong wide gates and a convenient access road. It is beneficial to keep not only hay in the hayloft, but also straw, as well as bedding.

When designing a pigsty, remember the proverb that a miser pays twice: a cold room seems cheaper, but no one guarantees that you will face a loss of cattle in winter. Therefore, in the climatic conditions of Russia, a caring owner builds a warm pigsty - from wood or brick. It's profitable. And then a simple way to warm piglets - boilers. The temperature in the pigsty should be at least 11 degrees Celsius, and preferably 18-20 degrees.

The pigsty should have stalls, windows, ventilation, a manure removal system, lighting, walking space, and mechanisms for preparing feed and transporting it. It is profitable to rent a room for a pigsty, but do not forget about mandatory disinfection. Especially in the section where you plan to keep sows with calves. Further, this procedure is advantageously carried out by ordinary whitewashing with lime.

And finally, prepare a workshop where it is profitable to keep working tools and repair broken farm equipment.

Livestock purchase

Much depends on which piglets you decide to raise at home: costs, the arrangement of a pigsty, the marketing system, the composition of the staff ... Pigs breeding as a business can specialize in breeds and directions - meat, tallow or meat and tallow.

On the territory of the CIS, the most popular meat and tallow breeds, which include the Ukrainian steppe, Murom, big white, etc. According to some estimates, the livestock of the big white is about 80% of the herd. From meat or bacon breeds, farmers prefer to keep Landrace, Hampshire, Duroc, Urzhum, etc. From greasy - Mirgorod, Belarusian, Berkshire, black large, etc.

Recently, the breeding of Vietnamese bacon bellied pigs, which are famous for their good payback, has been popular. The ZagorodLifeTV channel talks about them with enthusiasm in a video from the Living House cycle.

When should the first young piglets be acquired to populate the farm? Spring, many will say. Not necessary! If you have a warm pigsty on the farm, you can do this in the winter.

An equally important question: how many months should piglets be? Experienced farmers advise taking one and a half months old: they are already well accustomed to feed and can easily grow up without a mother. By the way, ask the parents of the purchased pigs to know what you will receive in a few months. And make sure the little piggies are vaccinated.

Necessary equipment and inventory

You will not be able to run a business on pigs without equipment and tools. What do you need to stock up on?
In the workshop, you should have a hammer, crowbar, sledgehammer, grinder, welding, vise, drill, crowbar, nails, etc., sorted into shelves, drawers and "their" places.

Much more expensive than all the listed "little things" will cost you equipment:

  • drinkers, feeders;
  • grain crushers;
  • reliable truck;
  • tractor - when you have slatted floors - with a barrel, if you begin to remove manure manually - with a kun and a cart.

Personnel and work organization

Caring for a farm with pigs is a labor-intensive business. If you have a large family, you can, of course, count on the help of loved ones who are ready to learn the difficult business of pig breeding. And if not? Then, before you bring livestock to the farm, hire several employees: workers, a livestock specialist, a veterinarian, an accountant and a manager. Especially do not neglect the specialists - livestock specialist and veterinarian: without their knowledge and experience, you can lose profit, and even livestock.

Business plan is the basis of success

When organizing your business on pigs, you need to draw up the necessary documentation and take into account the costs of opening and operating a farm. And, of course, have start-up capital. For a farm with hired employees and a livestock of at least 300-350 heads, it is equal to 4 million rubles (with the condition of their own land). Payback - 3-4 years, annual net profit - 500 thousand rubles. If everything goes according to plan...

Therefore, experienced pig breeders are advised to first organize a trial seasonal farm for 15-20 individuals at home and draw up a simple business plan for breeding pigs. You can serve it with the help of the family, and the starting amount for opening is up to 300 thousand rubles.

The experience of Vladimir Demyanchuk's pigsty in the video "My pigsty" is interesting.

Here are the approximate costs for such a farm, which will operate at home from March to October:

  • rent of 20 acres of land - up to 25 thousand rubles;
  • purchase of equipment - 100 thousand rubles;
  • purchase of young animals - 25 thousand rubles;
  • renting a place in the market for your seller - 10-15 thousand rubles;
  • salary to the implementer - 15-20 thousand rubles;
  • consumables - 15-20 thousand rubles;
  • the rest is the purchase of feed.

Such a mini-farm should pay off within one season and allow you to appreciate the attractiveness of a pig farm at home. If the starting season is successful, then you can move on to a year-round business.

Successful pig farmers who have experience in organizing mini-farms at home give some valuable advice to novice farmers:

  • focus on two sources of income at once: pork (meat, lard) and the sale of young animals;
  • purebred young animals are better than piglets bought on the market “out of the bag”;
  • acquire young animals not from one breeder, but from several, so that there is no degeneration;
  • meat pigs should immediately be fed to the maximum in order to get income earlier. Then young growth is put in their place;
  • it is not necessary to buy and raise boars - they can be rented;
  • and the last thing: do not rely on super profits. Pig breeding as a business has a profitability of 25-30%.

If you reach these indicators, then the business has become successful. We wish you good profit and pleasure from doing what you love!

Market prospects

In connection with the latest world events (sanctions), imports of livestock products have slightly decreased in our country. According to experts, by 2017, pork imports will be reduced by three times compared to 2013 (at that time, imports were at their maximum). Undoubtedly, this will provide an opportunity for the development of domestic production. Increasing support measures from the state (subsidies for feed and loans) and a decrease in imports make entering the livestock business more and more attractive.

Product Description

According to the business plan, it is planned to keep mainly meat (bacon) pigs on the farm. First of all, these are such breeds as Landrace, Duroc, Estonian bacon. Pigs are planned to be sold only in live weight. This will allow us not to open a slaughterhouse at the enterprise, maintain additional staff, control the quality of the product, etc. We also decided to stop selling piglets. The diet of animal feeding assumes that by the age of 6 months the pig will gain at least 100 kg in weight. The average increase in live weight will be 700 - 800 gr. in a day. It is planned to get an average of 12 piglets from one sow. In fact, the purchased 30 sows will allow you to create a permanent farm population of 350 - 400 head. According to preliminary calculations, about 60 pigs will be sold per month. The selling price will be 125 rubles/kg. (in live weight). The estimated revenue of the farm will be 650,000 rubles. per month. The farm will sell the animals only after 8-10 months of work, when the first offspring of pigs will be grown.

Therefore, the construction of a mini pig farm will be ordered on a turnkey basis from a specialized company. The construction price will be 12,000 rubles per square meter. The total area of ​​the complex will be 1200 square meters. m. The construction of a pig farm, thus, will cost 14,400,000 rubles. As a result, we will get a room ready for keeping and breeding pigs, equipped and equipped in accordance with all sanitary and fire safety standards.

Pig rearing technology

  • Room temperature. For comfortable keeping of sows, the constant air temperature will be kept at the level of 15 - 20 gr.
  • Air humidity. The pigsty will have an automatic ventilation system. The presence of high humidity in the room should not be allowed, as this leads to lethargy of animals, a decrease in immunity and the occurrence of colds.
  • Water access. Animals must have round-the-clock access to clean water, especially in the summer. Without proper watering in animals, the appetite and overall digestibility of feed are reduced. Pregnant sows consume about 25 liters per day.
  • Area per head. An area of ​​at least three square meters will be allocated for keeping one pig.

Recruitment

For the operation of the farm, it is planned to employ the following workers: pig breeders, a veterinarian, a livestock specialist, laborers, a supply manager.

What taxation system to choose for a pig farm

A limited liability company consisting of two founders will be registered as an organizational form. The system of taxation of the farm will be the single agricultural tax (ESHN). Under such a system, tax payments will amount to only 6% of the farm's profits.

Financial plan
