Can One Buy Buy Pregnant Sows When Starting Piggery Unit?

Yes, if you are to stock for the quick money, then buy pregnant sows. The cost of a three-month-pregnant sow is sh900,000 to sh1,200,000. Such a sow only has three weeks to deliver.  However, note that each sow delivers about 10 or more piglets so you must prepare for them. This means that if you stock five sows, expect to have 50 piglets in the next three weeks. Unless you have planned for them well, it is, therefore, advisable not to stock more than two pregnant sows if you are a starter. A combination of cambourogh and landrace or large white will give fast results.
