The one with more nipples have an advantage.

Things to consider:

The animal came from a sow with a good record.
Legs should be without deformity.
It should also have a good FCR.
Growth rate, if the animal averages 85 kg above in 150 days is a good candidate.

If you would need around 20 new sow you need to have around 40 candidates to monitor.  Start to choose at around 2-3  months old then final selection would be at 150 days or 5 month.

If you belong to a cooperative then you are in good hands.

In terms of mature weight boer, anglo-nubian , alpine and toggenburg. THis could range from 60-100 kg

Actually bawal nga tlaga yun carcass weight/dead weight/sabit ulo ang ibebenta kasi hindi nakikita minsan ng mga inspector yun animal basta nalang kinakatay kung saan saan.

Medyo maluwag lang minsan.

other term for estimate/bultuhan is mata-mata

Your welcome

market wise hindi pa ganun ka laganap ang goat at the same time hindi pa din ganun kalaki ang competition unlike sa swine.

Kung galing pa siya sa ibang bansa medyo problem sa acclimatization yan.  So, you need to put it in a place na medyo hindi maiinit or medyo mataas ang altitude. 

kung malamig sa province you then medyo mastataas ang chance na makaadapt siya agad.  Mag lalagas nga lang siya ng hair to compensate to the weather.

If it is case already we advice to use lasic tablet and if this does not work we advice them to use a catheter.

Lasix (pronounced as lasik/lasic) is not appropiate with kidney stones.  If the stones is small the build up of pressure in the kidneys would help but if it is a little bit big then it would cause more harm to your animal.

This medicine is intended for high blood, water retention problem due to failing kidneys, etc.

Better go for catheter instead.

Usually vitamins , dewormers, usually available ito sa mga agristore.

Soy sauce as prevention?  Well the only way to prevent worm is thru management.

Although articles say it can use as dewormer pero marami na pong cheap dewormer na mabibili sa market so go with commercial dewormer nalang kahit paano kasi controled nila ang dosage nito.

Have no idea.
Dapat pala nag search din me picture.

I'll try to find out. Post ko na lang pag may nakita na me picture

Live weight po siya.  In some areas it is up to 100-140 na.

Native natin? native lang ang alam ko na tawag eh.

Yun malalaki possible mix na po yun.  Ang alam ko boer medyo mabalahibo/ maganda buhok.  And adaptive din kasi minsan ang balahibo ng hayop kapag napunta sa medyo malalamig na lugar mas humahaba kapag sa maiinit na lugar naman na punta umiiksi.

Liveweight system= sa paraang ito ang baboy ay tinitimbang ng buhay at ay halaga ay ayun sa      tinimbang nito.

Deadweight/sabit ulo=  Ang hayop ay kinakatay muna at tinatanggal ang laman loob saka tinitimbang.
ang presyo per kilo nito ay masmataas kesa sa liveweight.

Estimate/bultuhan=  Ang halaga ng baboy ay depende sa napagkasunduan ng biyahero at may ari ng baboy. Sa paraan ito madalas nalulugi ang isang nag aalaga ng baboy.

English version

Liveweight system= The price of the animal depends on the live weight of the animal on the scale.

Deadweight/sabit ulo= The entrails/ internal organs of the animal is removed and then the carcass is weigh.  The price per kilo of the carcass is much more higher than the liveweight.

Estimate/sabit ulo=The pigs are priced according to what the buyer and the sellers have agreed upon.
 Usually sellers are in the losing side in this system.
