2. Requirement of a Good Piggery
Technical feasibility
• Nearness
• Availability of good quality of animals
• Sources and availability of training facilities
• Availability of concentrate feeds and
kitchen/hotel/vegetable market waste and broken
grains
• Availability of veterinary aid/breeding centre
marketing facilities
• Reasonability of various production and reproduction
parameters
3. Economic Viability
• Unit cost should be the least
• Input cost for feed, veterinary
aid, insurance, labour charges etc must logical
• Output costs i.e. sale price of
fattereners, piglets and culled animals must be
maximum
• Income-expenditure statement and annual
gross surplus must maintained properly
• Cash flow analysis must be understand
4. Summary
• Unit Size : 3 sows + 1 boar
• Type of animal :Improved breed
• Unit Cost (Rs.) : 76000
• Period (years) : 6 years including first
year grace period
