Lets assume Kebbi state supplied one million bags (50kg) of rice to Lagos State, multiplying it with 12,000 naira per bag as its been sold or was sold it will give us about 12billion naira. This alone is more than the monthly internally generated revenue of five states or more.

Before Now, This Amount Will Have Gone To Indonesia, Thailand, Benin Republic And Other Rice Producing Countries thereby increasing pressure on forex due to its need to import rice. We Can Only Assist Ourselves By Promoting Locally Made Goods And Foods. We Are Still Waiting For Ebonyi, Jigawa, Adamawa, Niger And Other Rice Producing states.

Foot Rot in Pigs causes and Treatment Symptoms and Clinical Signs
Foot rot, or septic laminitis, in pigs is not caused by one particular organism. Foot rot is a condition of injury to the soft tissue of the pig’s foot, or claw, which is then invaded by any of a variety of organisms, leading to further complication.
The initial insult to the external part of the claw is called bush foot. This involves a crack to the hoof, splitting of the hoof or pe*******on of the sole by a sharp object or by erosion through wear and tear. An infection takes hold causing painful swelling and ulceration in the joint, laminae or coronary band. If the fissure and subsequent infection pe*****te more deeply into the soft tissue then the condition is called foot rot. At this point, in addition to pain, swelling and ulceration, the pig may develop a life-threatening septicemia or bacteremia. Once the condition has become systemic bacteria can invade other areas of the body including the liver and brain.
*Causes
Foot rot is usually caused by sharp aspects in concrete flooring, or any other flooring material that can cause a physical injury or tear to the claw. The problem is then compounded if the pig’s area is unsanitary or wet.
Another possible cause is a biotin deficiency. Biotin, or Vitamin H, is necessary for the healthy growth of the hoof wall and for maintaining its integrity. A deficiency could lead to the breakdown of the wall making it more vulnerable to damage and infection. A deficiency can be easily remedied with a supplement in the feed.
*Clinical Signs
-Reluctance to rise or lameness, even to the point of refusal to put any weight on the affected foot may be seen.
-Swelling of the whole claw and intense pain if the infection is advanced.
-Cracks and splits in the hoof sole or hoof wall, possibly with visible necrotic ulcerations.
-A test for organisms present may show Arcanobacterium (Actinomyces) pyogenes , Fusobacterium necrophorum , Borrelia suilla , and a mixture of gram-negative and gram-positive cocci and rods, according to Merck Veterinary Manual.
*Treatment
Once diagnosed, foot rot can be treated with penicillin, tetracycline or other antibiotics or antimicrobials, depending on the type of organism cultured. Anti-inflammatories can also help with swelling and pain management if the sow is not pregnant. This treatment is more effective in the earlier stages of foot rot and becomes less effective in more advanced cases, or the longer the pig has had the problem in cases of chronic infection.
Treatment also includes trimming away damaged hoof wall material. In severe cases, x-rays to determine the extent of the problem are necessary, possibly followed by anesthesia and amputation of the foot. Usually this is not a good option from an economic standpoint so immediate culling is indicated.
As always the best cure is prevention, with smooth floors free of sharp objects or harsh chemicals, clean bedding and generally sanitary conditions. Running the pigs through a formalin or copper sulphate bath several times a week can help with disinfection of the feet and the area. Finally, insure their feed contains an appropriate amount of biotin to support hoof wall health.

Foot and Mouth Disease in Pigs Symptoms and Treatment
Foot and mouth disease, FMD, is a viral disease that can infect pigs but which also exists in a number of other forms in other cloven-hoofed animals such as cows and sheep, for example. It is a highly contagious and occasionally fatal disease that is also very damaging in terms of the financial cost to farmers who may have to slaughter many animals as a result of a single case being found on their farms. Here we’ll look at the symptoms in pigs and how the disease can be treated.
FMD has an incubation period of roughly 2 to 12 days. This may begin with a high fever in the pig that will dissipate over the following couple of days. Blistering on various parts of the body is perhaps the key symptom to watch for as a sign of the disease. In particular blisters will be seen in the mouth. This leads to large amounts of drooling of saliva that gives the pig the appearance of foaming at the mouth.
Blisters can also occur on the feet of the pigs, which can potentially lead to lameness in the animal. Weight loss can also occur in the pig. In the most extreme cases the inflammation of the heart muscle can lead to the death of the pig but at the other end of the spectrum some pigs will remain asymptomatic. This is potentially a serious problem because they could still be carrying the disease and therefore potentially pass it on to other animals.
The disease can be transmitted to the pigs through physical contact with an infected source material in many different ways. Direct contact between the pigs is one example. But contaminated food and direct physical contact with many different inanimate objects including the vehicles and the clothes of farmers, for example, can also pass on the disease to the pigs. Foot and mouth disease can even be spread by air and by water.
The variety of potential transmission agents means that the treatment of the disease must be done quickly and must be robust. Typically this will involve quarantining the farm where the infected pigs are and may lead to the culling of many animals. But also a potentially costly export ban can be the result as well, with uninfected countries not taking meat from infected ones. Although there are vaccinations in existence for all seven of the FMD serotypes, the virus mutates so often that such vaccinations may well be rendered obsolete after at most a few years, with new ones having to be constructed.

PIG FARMING BUSINESS.
Pig farming or piggery as it is fondly called is one of the most lucrative farming practices in Nigeria due to some obvious facts; Pigs feed basically on anything, feeds are cheap and readily available. 90% of their feed composition is waste (both industrial and domestic waste).

In addition the demand for pig meat (pork) in Nigeria is generally high because pork meat is one of the major sources of protein in Nigeria.

One of the major reasons why piggery easy to run and manage, which makes it more profitable is you can also plant your pigs feed, thereby saving feed cost significantly.

The common practice in breeding pigs in Nigeria is a closed system or in a controlled environment where pigs are breed in pens.

Normally it takes between 7 to 12 (seven to twelve) months for pigs to grow to from piglets to maturity. One good thing about piggery is you can start with a very little capital, as low as Two Hundred Thousand Naira (N200,000) and still make profit.

No wonder in 2014, The Lagos State Government through the ministry of Agriculture said the state has the potential of generating over Two Billion Dollars ($2,000,000,000) approximately six hundred billion Naira(N600,000,000) yearly from pig farming.

The biggest pig farm in sub Saharan Africa is currently in Lagos and it is situated at Oke Aro farm estate. There are over 3,000 pig farmers in that farm and it is managed by the Lagos State Government. It allows purchasing and rentals of pens.

It is very profitable: Pig farming is very profitable, A mature pigs sells for between Twenty Two Thousand naira (N22,000) to about Thirty Thousand Naira (N30,000) or more depending on the weight. Imagine producing just 100 pigs yearly. That’s roughly about Two million two hundred thousand naira (N2,200,000) to about Three Million Naira (N3,000,000) yearly.
Feeds can easily be sources: Pig feeds are affordable and can easily be sourced.
The market is readily available: The market is readily available, selling your pigs would not be an issue, the issue you might have might be meeting demands as pig farmers are not currently meeting the demands of the market at the moment.
