Kira,

May I share my experience. From birth to finisher - that would take around 5 months and would reach an average of 90-100 kilos.

   Thanks a lot too Keith...

      Good evening po doc.!Halimbawa po pinaabot ng 6 months pag-aalaga ng baboy mula pagkapanganak hanggang magfinisher,mga ilang kilo kaya ang baboy by that time?Thank you po!

IT would depend kasi sa lahi and feeds ng baboy nyo.

Kung mganda lahi and feeds nila baka around 100++ kilo

        Ah ok po!maraming salamat po!:)

   DO we really need to dig up the  floor(soil) up to 1m deep before putting the ricehull,CRH and river/beach sand beddings?Thank u!:)

kira.... no need to dig as 1m deep. you only need to bed the flooring made of concrete for about 6" thick made of 50-50 river sand or beach sand and rice hull. please go back to the top of this topic its very informative and i am so thankful I hope I can apply this in my small piggery when I come home early of september.

  Oh ok... I just thought that because we are planning to apply this DBS on our new piggery,no need for us to make a cement flooring.Only the walls.So ,would it just be ok if we are just goin' to put river/beach sand first as a flooring and the mixture for the beddings on top?Thanks again...

     Ah ganon po pla!thank u so much Doc. Nemo and Rye for the infos...

    I do understand what you both felt about those things that happened to u guys.Actually i'm a filipina married also to a canadian and just started up a hog business also in Phils.It's really hard to find someone whom you could really trust when it comes to money...not only in Phils. but anywhere...:)I myself was fooled by my own sister when i trusted her to buy a house and lot for me in Phils. while i was so busy workin hard abroad...:)But anyways,what i did now to my small piggery...i just hired someone and provided them a shelter in my farm ...so no need to be away from the pigs. I  am the one who is contacting and sending money directly to the feed supplier ...and also if there are meds. needed  every month!In that case...i don't have to worry if she is really spending the money the way i want it!When we expanded our piggery...every materials that she bought had to come up with receipts and she scanned it and was sent to me through email.I hope these things that i did could help you guys and could make you come up with some much more better ideas on how to make business w/o being lied to when it comes to money...:)Have a nice day...
