Great — let’s build a full Pig Farming Project Plan for 100 pigs from scratch.
✅ Assumptions for This Project
We'll assume:
You are raising 100 pigs total, with 20 breeding pigs (15 sows + 5 boars) and 80 grower pigs
for fattening.
You are doing this for meat production, with a long-term goal of breeding and expansion.
Costs are estimated in USD. These can vary by country and location.
This is a 1-year establishment plan.

🏗️ Capital Investment Breakdown
Let’s break the cost into categories.
1. Housing and Infrastructure
You’ll need:
Pens for 100 pigs (grouped housing).
Farrowing pens (for sows).
Grower/starter sections.
Feed store, water system, drainage, and fencing.
Item Quantity Unit Cost Total Cost
Standard Pens (Growers) 10 pens (8 pigs each) $350 $3,500
Breeding Pens 20 pens $300 $6,000
Farrowing Units 5 units $500 $2,500
Feed & Water Troughs Lump sum - $800
Waste Disposal/Drainage Lump sum - $600
Water Tank + Plumbing Lump sum - $600
Fencing & Gates Lump sum - $1,000
Subtotal (Housing) $15,000
2. Pig Purchase (Initial Stock)
Pig Type Quantity Unit Cost Total Cost
Sows (Breeding) 15 $150 $2,250
Boars (Breeding) 5 $200 $1,000
Growers 80 $100 $8,000
Subtotal (Pigs) $11,250
3. Feeding (6 Months Estimate)
You’ll need to feed the pigs 2.5–3 kg/day on average.
Item Cost Estimate
Commercial Feed $1,500/month
Supplements/Minerals $300
Subtotal (Feeding) $9,300
4. Veterinary and Health Care
Item Estimated Cost
Vaccinations & Deworming $600
Vet Visits & Medicines $400
Subtotal (Vet Care) $1,000
5. Labor and Staff
At least 2 full-time workers.
Item Monthly Cost Duration Total
2 Workers $150 x 2 12 months $3,600
Subtotal $3,600
6. Utilities & Miscellaneous
Item Cost
Water & Electricity $500
Repairs, tools, etc. $400
Subtotal $900
💰 Total Projected Cost
Component Estimated Cost (USD)
Housing & Infrastructure $15,000
Pig Purchase $11,250
Feeding $9,300
Veterinary Care $1,000
Labor $3,600
Utilities & Misc. $900
TOTAL $41,050
📈 Expected Revenue
Let’s calculate conservative yearly earnings.
From 80 growers:
80 pigs x 100 kg x $2.50/kg = $20,000
From breeding:
Each sow = 8 piglets x 2 litters = 240 piglets
Sell 200 piglets at $50 each = $10,000
Total Revenue (Year 1) = $30,000
Break-even = Between 1.5–2 years
✅ Conclusion
This 100-pig unit has the potential to generate solid returns, especially with proper management of
feeding, health, and housing. A long-term focus on breeding can cut input costs and raise profitability.
Total startup cost is around $41,050, with potential to recover the investment within 2 years.
