Kung ung cause ng importation is ung gov't is not aware na may mga babuyan, is simply putting that DA, LGU and kung sinoman may responsibility, are not doing their job. Kaya noon pa man, I was questioning DA's framework na may malaking butas which needs to be fixed asap.

I would agree na politics ung cause nitong increasing of importation volume with US and Canada. We are being pressed on that is why tayong mga hog raisers are directly impacted. Walang magagawa ang DA kung US and Canada ung babanggain natin, kasi kung may magawa man gov't natin e di sana noon pa nasolusyunan na ito.

Adding to the injury is, tayong small timers wala tayong boses kahit magsama-sama pa tyo. What they are listening to are coming from those big hog capitalists.

Hate to say this, pero parang napapagod lng tyong i-voice out ung angsts natin. Sariling kayod tlga tyo, and maging madiskarte tayo sa business na ito.

Share ko lng rin po mga kuyang ung start-up small farm namin. Bk po may makuha kyong idea sa building layout. =)

Combination ng concrete and steel po ginamit namin sa fattener pens, combination of 10mm and 1" steel pipe sa gilt pens. sa roofing naman standard wood and GI sheets.

Cost us around 80k (includes labor) for the 8mx8m housing (2 fattening pens and 9 gilt pens) for our second building (as seen on Lenaca's PigFarm 1).

Our first building (link below) constructed almost 2 years ago used the same material and houses 5 fattening pens (2mx3m) that can hold up to 6 fatteners (growing stage) but can accommodate 10 piglets (starter stage). There is a 2mx3m used as stockroom for our feeds and medicines. the building cost us around 100k.

Expansion on Building#2 is still on-going. =)

Cge Earth, thanks.

Thanks din doc.

Sabi rin nung manufacturer kc gamit nila ung HFT kaya black ung pupu nila kc naabsorb lahat ung nutrients ng mga alaga ko. Not really sure about this kung totoo nga, tignan ko n lng sa timbang nila pagkabenta.

Less rin ung amoy compared sa dati kong feeds na ginagamit,bk may yucca component na nilagay rin cguro.

I just saw in youtube (solraya) that this is being done already. =)
Day old chicks of 45days chicks cost cheaper as well.

I'll try first the colored ones (sasso).

Thanks Sally.

Interested rin po ako into this sasso/saxon business.

May question lng po ako, pano sila minamarket considering broiler po ung majority? And ung market price po ba nito is less vs broiler? Ilang days bago ito imarket and how much feed cost nila?

Thanks.

Tanong ko lng din po kung anong maintenance feeds for boars kung bsow rin po ba? And need lng po bng maginject ng Vit ADE monthly para maganda semen quality?

I have a 7month old boar and plan to use it na sa mga gilts ko. May impact po ba sa semen quality kapag 1st timer both ung boar (7months) and gilts (8months)?

Thanks.

Hello mga kuyang,

Just wondering lng kung ano natural color ng pupu ng mga fatteners nyo? I've shifted to another feed and observed na mas darker ung pupu nila compared dati na brown/dark brown. Right now, it's near black or dark gray/brown na xa. I also noticed na wlang maxadong amoy ung pupu nila.

I'm certain that sa feeds ko ngaun na gamit may material po doon na nagcacause ng dark stool nila. I'm not an animal nutritionist, but I'd like to know kung ano un. Wala naman akong nkktang negative impact sa mga alaga ko, so this is fine. I just like to understand kung anu un. Any idea po mga kuyang?

sa cp walang terms, cash basis sila.
ung 120 days na sinasabi nyo is from birth ba?

@yen,

I suggest you defer your plan pa as this is not the right time. If you can defer this on Q3/Q4, mas ok when price will go up a little higher cguro. Right now, this business is not going any higher nor we're getting any help from gov't. Swine and poultry industry right now is down.

Marami po dito sa Metro Manila.

Si Primevet sa may Mandaluyong sila, pasearch na lng sa google po. Complete product line-up nila kc Infarmco yan.

Ung Gregson rin po sa may Taguig, Vetstar and VetSpecialist po dito nmn sa QC.

Personally, ok ung service ng Vetstar and they have vaccines rin from Merial, Hipra, etc.

Sa VetSpecialist nmn ako nakakuha ng milk replacer (Farramate)

May ganyan rin po na baboy ung kapitbahay namin. 4-5days rin xang hinihingal, inuubo at kahit anong gamit nilagay, (bromhexine, enro, etc.), tumagal nmn xa ng another 4 days bago namatay.

Try nyo po i-google search ang Merial or Hipra products. Meron po silang Pseudorabies vaccines live and killed.

Usually may mga agents sila sa mga area. Kung dito ka sa manila, mas madali kc andito main office nila and maraming agents na pwede ka nilang puntahan.

Update ko lng po kayo mga kuyang dun sa scrotal hernia nung biik ko.

Actually, hesitant akong ipakapon nung dumating ung technician ng feeds ko and per recommendation kc both ng tito and frnd kong vet, tlagang inaantay na lng ito hanggang malitson na lng kc maliit chances na nabubuhay sila sa market size nila.

However, nagdecide na lng akong i try baka sakaling magheal rin pag lumaki. Magaling ung technician. Nakapon nya then tinahi nya ung sugat na un. At first pansin namin after nagkapon, dinudugo pa rin xa, tumutulo tlga ung dugo dun sa pagkakatahi. Nilagay namin xa sa isang kulungan and waited kung tlgang mamamatay xa. Thank God, di xa bumigay and nawala rin ung luslos nya, happy kmi kc walang bawas sa pagbenta and nsa average ung size nmn nya.

By the way, hindi xa in breeding. Galing sa farm ng Tito ko ung inahin and ung boar is doon na lng sa area namin. Tingin ko and based sa research ko, may tendency kcing namana ito sa board raw ung pagkaluslus ng mga anak ng inahin. Naprove ko ito dahil un boar rin na un ang kumasta doon sa kapitbahay namin na may luslos rin ung anak na biik. I might be wrong rin cguro.
