SAlamat po.

It is okay. Normally if the animal is huge enough you can move it to another pen.

Hi Doc,

Please explain to us mathematically or in simple english about :

1. Average Daily Gain ( ADG )
2. Feed Conversion Ratio ( FCR )

Thanks.

Hi Doc,
I have 3- F1 gilts ( Carmen, Nena, and Myrna )and they are sisters. They aged 6 months and 1 week.
Their 1st heat was last Feb.13,2009 at sabay-sabay. Carmen weighs = 134 kgs,
Nena weighs = 105 kgs and Myrna weighs = 97 kgs, and they on the same pig pen.
I want to separate Carmen for she is already overweight to breed at around 120 - 130 kgs.,
para makakain din ng husto sina Nena at Myrna to catch up with their breeding weight.
Will it be ok to separate Carmen and it will not affect  them for their ovulation period
on their 2nd heat and 3rd heat ?
Salamat

Hi Doc,
 Salamat for the advice. I just arrive from the farm since Saturday.
Hog pictures sana ipadala o e-post ko po dito, pero nagka prablema
ang diskett, sayang.
Thans again Doc.

you could use lutalyse 48 hours after the sow farrowed. This will the animal to return to heat faster. You could give 2 ml.

If the animal farrowed and the inunan is not yet expelled give 2 ml of oxytocin. THis will facilitate in the expulsion of the inunan.

Thanks Doc,
We have previously acquired Oxytocin and Lutalyse. I want to use this medication since I cannot return it to the
supplier anymore. Please teach me how to implement it on the sow.. The right time to inject and how many ml. ?
Ex: 1) Oxytocin right after farrowing together with antibiotic, how many ml ?
       2) Lutalyse how many days after farrowing and how many ml in order the sow will come to heat again ?

Injecting oxytocin is optional. Some like to give oxytocin so the inunan would be expelled faster. But it would be added cost. The inunan will usually be expelled naman 24 hrs after farrowing.

Lutayse is being used to induced farrowing. Another use is to make the animal return to heat faster. This is optional also.

Different manufacturer have different dosage usually it will range 2 ml to 5 ml.

After farrowing antibiotic should be given.

7 days after farrowing you give the sow e.coli vaccine, then at 2nd week parvo virus then 3rd week hog cholera. After that continue with the usual vaccination for "pregnant sow" that i have sent you.

Hi Doc,
Good Day. Naka acquire me ng sow na buntis on her 5th parity.
The vaccinatin given by the owner before were Hog Cholera and Vitamins.
We are about to inject also Vitamins and deworm by Saturday( 2/14 ).
The sow is due for farrowing by the end of Feb or first week of March.
Ask ko lang po Doc, after the sow farrow, do we have to inject oxytocin or lutalyse
and how many ml or cc ? Aside from that we will be injecting also antibiotic just after she farrows?
As per the previous owner, HCV and Vit lang ang binibigay nila at wala ng iba.
Salamat

Hi Doc,
Ano- anong bang  technique sa pag bakuna ng sow at boar ?
Magalaw kasi ang baboy at  baluktot ang needle, kasi malaki na sila.
Sabi ng iba talian sa nguso ang baboy at itali, sabay turukan ? Di dapat 2 tao
ang gagawa nito ? Thanks.

Hi Doc,
Good Day. Please send me the vaccination program and medication from
piglets to finisher, especially after weaning. Marami kasi ang mortality
after the piglets are wean and at grower stage.
At what  is the correct/right time of age na dapat paliguan ang wean
piglets ?
Salamat.

Its around 85-90 kgs. Ok Doc  alam ko na its between 11K to 12K.

Salamat

What's the weight?

You could try weight x liveweight price = total + 2-3 thousand pesos

Or usually around 10-15t siya, which ever is higher of the two computation.

We cannot sell kasi at higher price (farm price) because we are not a breeder farm talaga.

Hi Doc.
Please help.
Im selling one of my junior terminal boar, product of Largewhite father and Landrace mother.
I bought the parents from Holiday Hills. the boar age is more than 5 months. I dont have any
knowledge for the price. Im planning kasi to purchase Duroc Boar pag nabenta ko ito. Iyong kapatid
niyang isang boar din ay maiwan sa amin for service.

Salamat

Di naman payat at katamtaman lang. Siguro sa pag timing din ng AI, Kasi puro
baguhan ang gumagawa ng AI.

Are they thin nun naglulugon sila?
Backbones are protruding?

Give vitamins and adequate feeds nalang para magtuloytuloy na siya.

Doc, meron ka bang plano o design ng concrete feeder na ito? Puede ba humingi ng copy? Thanks.

Yes it is okay to use.

Para makamura they just make their own feeder made of concrete.

Dear Doc Nemo,

Good Day and Hapi New Year. Doc, iyong 2- F1 namin ay nag reheat again.
Both of them were injected with Gonadin before breeding.
Ang isang F1 ay nag reheat again after 40 days from AI, suppose to be her 2nd Parity at isa naman ay
nag reheat after 60 days from breeding by AI also suppose to be her 1st parity.
Before injecting Gonadin for breeding may signs na itong dalawa sa paglugon.
Once siguro na naglugon ang baboy, better siguro na huwag na i-breed ang mga ito. Kasi mag re-
breed ka rin katulad sa nangyari ngayon sa amin. Ang mga F1 ay galing Holiday Hills.
Anyway Doc pinabarakuhan ko na sila ulit sa Boar ng kapitbahay ko.

Do we have a new Hog Farm Gate Prices? We know that Christmas is just around the corner
and we dont want to be caught flatfooted by viajeros on prices. Baka baratin naman tayo.
Please post it as a guide to all. Thanks.
