IS PIG FARMING IN ZIMBABWE PROFITABLE?
PART_TWO.
When fed right, pigs can weigh approximately 90 to 120 kilos. When you take them to a
slaughterhouse, a 60kg to 70kg pig will sell at USD210 to USD245 using farmers price of USD3.50 PER KILO.

Let’s assume you slaughter all the first bred 20pigs each weighing 70kg in seven months’ time; then you can make USD245 X 20 = USD4900 – USD2800 (feeding costs and other expenses) =USD2100 profit in 7 months.

That’s is profit made when starting with 2 pregnant pigs. The more the pigs you have the more the profit you make and the lower the feeding and operations costs. Economies of scale are real with pigs
