Wasswa and Nkoba transform their household income through piggery farming

We received 5 pigs (4 female and one male) under the initiative in February 2019. All the 4 female pigs gave birth and we currently have over 40 pigs at our farm.  We sold some piglets and used the money to take care of our family needs mainly paying school fees.

Piggery has now become a business in which we earn money, and it has helped us to keep busy and not remain redundant when mechanical jobs are not available.  We have also trained our children on how to manage the piggery business which keeps them busy when they are not at school.

When the pigs gave birth, we passed on 5 piglets to our neigbour Amanyire Camplyn as it is the policy in the Rwengaju Model Village initiative and under the NAADS programme.

The challenge

Our challenge is lack of extension services. Extension workers rarely visit us yet we need advice on how to manage our piggery project and how we earn more from this project.

      The only challenge I face with piggery is feeding.

      For feeding in piggery… Try stocking maize when the price goes down so that you can mill it into “broken” when the price goes down. Then for the supplements, try BSF larvae if you don’t have any source there … contact me on +256705982140 to get it to you.

    Can we have an online vet doctor/consultant to help when need arises since extension workers sometimes are not readly available when need for their services arises.
