taga saan po kayo bro?  member ka ba ng isang hog association/cooperative sa area ninyo?

tinatamaan ang sow tapos ma affected na ang piglet. tnx for the info doc

Doc, good to hear we are in the top 10 as sow producers,still believe we need a second market,exporting would really help unload our numbers.Look at Canada,if Canada had no export markets,there would not be the numbers being produced,our own in country market place could not support the numbers.Korea,China, etc. are all pork eating nations,the pork producers of the Philippines need Govts. to help us secure these markets.Thinking of planting some value added crops on the land ,the sale of the crops would help pay for the production of the hogs,am happy that the wife and I have goats,cattle,turkeys as a back up in case the bottom falls out of the pork market.

is your goats,cattle,turkeys also inside the compound of your pigs?

You are very fortunate.

Bulacan area has almost little piglet production last month and this month.

So expect that prices of pork will go high until May next year.

saan po tinatamaan ng swine flu sa sow ba o piglet?   maybe price will not go up next year dahil may importation.

Genmox lang yan. ang tindi ng mga antibiotic mo bro. wow 

[What if I go in contract with you and I dont make the numbers?would I owe you?]

Can you please explain more about contract growing for hogs?What if I go in contract with you and I dont make the numbers?would I owe you?or just make way less?My piggery is well designed just dont have the capatal for feeds.Also would we have to sign a contract?for how long is the contract?my email is mikestere2000@yahoo.ca  I just have to try to get the feed cost some how.

it depend on the number. if your in a bad luck situation maybe you will owe them   

bounty agro. kilala mo ba sila alzona?

it depends upon the company and how the people in that company treat the partners. i'm not saying this because our company is into contract growing and contract breeding. we know how to take care of our partners. we've just started and so far, our partners are satisfied naman (they say). we're trying our best not to commit the same mistakes of the other companies. we studied their flaws already. sometimes, the people in the farm also are the problem especially if they do not care enough. with regards to the building,  we are flexible naman. if you have an existing farm building, we will still use them. we will suggest for improvements if need be. but we will not impose that you do it right away.

are you the owner of the company? and what company name?

Or make it worst for him.
mikey

well that's life bro. you have to gamble

how can we lower the feed cost? corn now is use for fuel  . maybe we all hog farmer unite and increase our prices this is the best solution in order to survive

Hi all I was wondering do any of you hog farmers have a stall at the publice market?If so do you make a good profit at it?That would max your profits but is it to much trouble?

why dont you try it bro. maybe it will solve your problem

wala na magawa ang national hog federation ngayon watak watak na      let congressman Nicanor Briones (limcoma) do the job. let's unite and fight this big greedy Processors. this is no joke they really want to kill philippine hog industry.

bad news na ito for next year. Pampro is spearheading this import :-(

it so funny gov't telling mindanao hog farmer to export their hog to singapore PARA they can import hog for luzon

Import of meat products seen to rise in 2008

MANILA, Philippines--THE IMPORTATION OF MEAT AND MEAT products may slightly increase in 2008 due to the appreciation of the peso against the dollar.

According to Francisco J. Buencamino, executive director of the Philippine Association of Meat Processors Inc., the meat industry may find it more economical to import since meat products from abroad are estimated to be cheaper by 20 percent.

Thus, he added, “we can expect there will be heavier dependence on imports in 2008.”

In 2006, the country had imported a total of 181 million kilos of meat, including pork, beef, carabeef and meat additives.

This year however, the industry sees an 11-percent decline in meat imports, Buencamino said.

Despite the expected decline, he said that the country can expect “more meat imports in the next three or four months.”

The country currently imports meat from the United States, Korea, Australia, Brazil and parts of South America, which are free of the foot-and-mouth disease.

Buencamino also noted that another advantage of importation is that the meat products have already been sorted, which means the importing firms get in particular the meat portions they need.

He explained that locally, meat is bought in bulk so there is a need for further processing and sorting.

For the Christmas season, Buencamino has meanwhile assured the public that there is an ample supply of meat and meat products in the local wet and retail markets.

Once the available meat volume drops by end-December, Buencamino said, local meat processors would then start importing products.

The livestock subsector, which accounted for 13.28 percent of total agricultural output, expanded by 2.57 percent in 2006.

This sector includes the carabao, cattle, hog, goat and dairy industries.

Hog production grew by 3.90 percent to 1.84 million metric tons.
