Piggery is another aspect of farming in Nigeria that gives smart investors huge money on daily basis. If you are into pig farming, you sure wouldn't lack money again for the rest of your life. The reason is because
pig meat (pork) is in high demand in Nigeria and sells very fast in the market. Another reason is that pig reproduces in large number and grows very fast.
A single pig gives birth to as many as 15 piglets at a time, making it one of the most producing mammals in the world. Baby pig is known as farrow or piglet. Male pigs are reffered to as the boar while the females are sows.
As a group, they are called a herd or dove.

Despite the huge profitability of piggery, many Nigerians are still overlooking this goldmine because of ignorance on how it works. While some don't just get the fact that it is a big business, many who engage in it
do it as part tim-time business. But if you can engage in this business fully, you are sure going to smile to the bank very soon.

A fully grown pig goes for as high as N30,000.00 depending on the weight. Now imagine for a year you are able to rear hundred to maturity, you will be making N3million from the sales. If you can take it higher - let's say like
2,000 pigs in a year, you will e talking of N60million here. Considering how fast pigs reproduce, it wouldn't be very much a big deal to come up with 100 pigs in a year.
