Ok doc thankx

Hi doc how would a person ship hogs from davao to high end markets in manila?Would if be worth the trouble?

Doc thankx for that info.An easy way to keep track of the hogs.

Thankx doc for the info.

Doc we have close to 100 hundred piglets now more to come in the next few months.I want to start to build my sow population Sould we just keep the ones with 16 nipples?I now the more nipples the better we have some with 18 nipples.lets say out of 100 piglets how many would be good breeders?any info would be great thankx

Doc What would be the best scale to weigh the hogs?digital or manual?the most acurate?and do you know any dealers in davao?   ps dose anybody have any troubles accessing the site?why so slow?it takes me like 5 minutes to load a page.

Nice price makes me think to send my hogs to far away places to sell.

Cheap Protein for Pigs: Scrap Fish

        One of the richest sources of protein for pigs is fish. But fishmeal is expensive and not easily available in some places.  However, in places by the sea, there are opportunities to provide their pigs with cheap protein.

Manner of Preparation:

1.  Place the fishes in containers that are not metallic, must be clay pot or enamel.

2. For every 100 kilos of different fishes, add 3 liters mallic acid (or sulfuric acid). Acid stops the growth of microbes in the flesh of the fishes and from deterioration.

3. Put in an equal amount of corn, cassava, or grains.  This will increase the carbohydrate content of the mixture and will lower the acid percentage in the feed.

The resulting 1.5% acid will not damage the stomach or intestine of the pigs

Doc So we raise a pig to 85kg what would the slaughter pig weight be when we take it to the market? any info would be great thankx.

doc I dont buy piglets we raise them lol piglets in are area are 1800

hey doc they said the cost to raise 10 fatteners to 80-85 kg is around 35,000 so at 85 kg we sell them at 5525 each sound right?

Doc so your calulation is more I just want to low ball it..Just the farmer has to have all the money in the bank for the feeds thats all.Are area is only 65 kg

Yes doc volume is the key.if one had 100 fatteners after all is said and done the farmer would make at the low point he would make 80,000 am I right?thats if all hogs raised to 80 kg at a 10 peso profit.That would be way above the adverage income for a filipino worker.If you had a large farm and your management skills where very good you could make alot.If you had a 100 sow operation 1000 piglets every 4 months that would be 800,000 thousand profit is my math wrong?thats at 10 peso per kg live weight profit.ok lets minus that some more 5 peso kg still 400,000 profit

Hi all Have any of you hog farmers figured whats your profit for live weight per kg?after all your feeds meds electric labour are done?I know feeds cost are different in all places in the phills.But whats the adverage 5-10 pecos a kg?I think this hog bizniz in the phills is a volume game.If you had a large amount of money for the feeds you could make alot of money in this hog bizniz.

Hey doc can you find us the trade secret?A private pm would be ok I could cut you in the action.I sure would like to know because I have like 45 piglets and not sure what to do sell them or do fatting?
