Scientifically speaking adviseable na  to just cull it.  There are issues sometimes that this animal would be carrier of the disease.

Personal opinion:  Give it another chance.  IF you have  already vaccinated all your animal then chances of an outbreak is much smaller.  And also economic wise it difficult to produce another sow.

Possible effect is that it will have small litter size.

National dairy authority have holstein breed as their dairy cow.

last 3 months monterey slaugther personnel told me that there pig (contract grower produce) are FAT compare to other commercial hog farmer pig.

Maybe the hogs that are being sold to different supermarket are from monteray farm and the ones from contract growers are used in canned product.

If the animal is fat then it is good for their canned products the more fat the more tasty it could be.

Greetings!

I have this 3 semi reject swine manual/book (missing 3 pages) and rather than destroy it or sell it i will just raffle it and insert the 3 missing pages.

Mechanics:

Just post in this topic to be eligible to join.

Tentative date of raffle is December 31, 2007.

How the raffle will be done:
I will designate a number to every poster (one number per person only) and if your number was pick the manual/book will delivered to you. 

There will be no charge for delivery. Everything will be free as long as the address is here in the Philippines.

Thank you.

Not all company have the same protocol/ agreement style.  So read carefully the contract/agreement before signing.

If your area has very limited middle man/biyahero or liveweight price always so low then i would say it is a good alternative.

WHY?

Instead of using 100% of your money for feed, medicine, animal stocks you only need to us around 30%

Less risk, isn't it?

But always remember that it is a business and there is no guarantee that you will succeed.

And always read the contract. If there are things that you think unachievable then do not sign.

In bulacan back around 2003 i have heard of a small company that provide contract growing. In their system they will provide medicine, feeds, animal. Your responsibility is just to take care of the animal. the target weight is 80 kgs. You will not be liable if some of the animal die as long as you have to contact the vet in charge and wait for the vet to do its ocular inspection of the animal. They will pay you 200 pesos per animal and if you exceeded 85 kgs an additional pay is given.  If you did not reach your target of 80 kgs. they will not pay you.

In the system above it is a win-win for the farmer.  almost 0% investment (excluding building). They don't need to worry about disease because it is the responsibilty of the vet.  And most of all there is no penalty if they did not reach the target weight.

But if you do not reach your target chances that they will renew your contract is very small.

In contract growing the company provides the feed, vet support, the animal.

Manpower, electricity and medicine shall be your responsibility.

They will pay you a certain amount but you have to meet their requirement, weight and fcr of the animal.

If you have exceeded the target they will pay additional.

Although i don't have a proof per my opinion it might affect the trees near to it.

Manure emit chemicals and this chemicals could affect the flowering of the fruit near the trees.

I think it is for both native and upgraded.

Yeah some areas is the 100 pesos/kg price.

IT is the total average of our country farm gate price.
