Just keep on farming ang manila will keep on buying.

Yeah but still higher than US dollar.

Yeah, they trying to alleviate the stigma that pork is bad to your health like what vegetarians are claiming.

The visayas area is now becoming a hog haven. If i am not mistaking currently Cebu has the highest population of pigs now.

Demand is increasing but supply is not stable.

Due to the outbreak in region 3 where as about maybe 5T sows have aborted, die etc. And estimate that every sow could produce 10 piglet then that is about 50t pigs less this coming year. And it would need around 6 months to a year before we could recover.

In terms of population because the Philippine is a baby factory for sure there will always a demand.

Greetings!

I have emailed you the email address of lalaine. I think their company is into this system.

Genie_ps at that operation you could ask for a good volume discount with your feeds.

Good news to those who are from Canada. Canadian dollar now is much higher than US dollar here in the Philippines.

Yup according to the Philippine law foreigner cannot own a land. They can only rent it. So, if you have a Filipina wife then you have to let her own the land for you.

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.

Hope so. More people could join and share in this forum

Doc,the prices for hogs always swings upward the closer to Dec. for the holiday season,does it not.
Good Day

Yup it always go high if it is nearing december and months of April and May. Demand of meat is high during this season.

And it will go down on June-October.

I believe, we can do a bit of a cooperation about the farm gate pricing if we only know the prevailing price around us.  Most of the time, (in our own locality) price is being dictated by biyaheros or vendors.  Although, supply and demand should be the prime factor but biyaheros tend to twist that always to their advantage.

we have once conducted a survey in Bataan and some area still go for bultuhan system/estimation in pricing their animal. So in the end most of them have little to no profit at all.

It is really a great help if you can at least know the price in your  area so you could not be fooled by biyaheros.

Ask the seller if he /she have already given vaccine to the animal like hog cholera and mycoplasma.

If he/she says that it already have a hog cholera and mycoplasma vaccine then you will only give hog cholera as booster to the piglet. First you need to give water soluble vitamins to the animal 5-7 days upon arrival. Then you can give the vaccine at the  7-14 days (from the arrival). Be sure that the animal is already stress free/healthy or already accustomed to your farm before given the vaccine.

This the advantage of hoping your own sow you can be sure that the animal is already vaccinated and really healthy.

Actually it is just a simple cost and return.
