RESTRICTED vs. AD LIBITUM FEEDING. Any difference?

[BUDS]

Usually in adlib there is a special feeder on which you can put the feed and the animal will just hit the feeder so feeds will be dispense.

In terms of feeds consumption so far ala naman akong nakilala na nagreklamo na nalugi sila kasi kain ng kain yun baboy.

Pagnaconsume na nila yung recommended na dami ng feeds as a group next stage na ng feeding.
Ex. if assuming 1 pig needs 60 kgs of grower feed. if you have 10 pigs then they will eat as a group around 600 kgs or 12 bags. once naubos na yan shift na to finisher regardless of age and weight.

Some farm naman ang feeding program is based on months. 1 month starter feed, 1 and 1/2 month grower feeds and 2 weeks of finisher feeds. Whether lagpas sila ng sa recommended or not they will shift according to the number of days na kumakain ang baboy ng particular na feeds.

In terms of feeds consumption so far i have never met a person that is suffered losses because of this system of feeding.

Usually if the animal already consumed the recommended feed allowance then they will shift to the next stage.

Ex. if assuming 1 pig needs 60 kgs of grower feed. if you have 10 pigs then they will eat as a group around 600 kgs or 12 bags. once the animal consumed all this you will shift to the next feed.

Some farm based their feeding program on months/days.  1 month starter feed, 1 and 1/2 month grower feeds and 2 weeks of finisher feeds. Whether they consume or not the  recommended feed allowance  they will shift according to the number of days.

   doc,ibig  nyo po bang sabihin kung ang baboy ko pinapakain ko ng 5 bags ng prestarter sa loob ng 25 days at naconsume na nila agad ito within 2weeks pwede na akong lumipat sa starterstage kahit wala pa sa panahon,timbang at edad ang baboy tama po ba?ibig sabihin nito doc madali rin maibebenta ang baboy tama po ba?by the way doc may picture po ba kayo nung automatic feeder and may idea po ba kayo kung magkano ito?thank you po doc ang more power....

Yup , they do this so they can have an idea about the feed consumption and their costing.

Kung naubos na kasi nila yun recommended feeds tentatively they should be at a proper weight na para magshift. If not then your animal could be a slow grower and by extending your feeding you are increasing your cost to produce.

In terms of mabenta agad this is still a question of weight. If they weigh above 85 na then sell it.  If not then you need to extend your finisher feeding.

Whether based on months or per bags this is the decision that a farm owner would make, they are options taht you could look into.
 When i was still in a feed company we follow the per consumption/per bag . If the animal is fast grower we extend the starter feeding.

automatic feeder maybe 5 -8 thousand, not sure na eh,

doc,ito po ba yung katulad ng feeddispenser na kapag na hit nila eh lalabas yung pagkain katulad ng sinasabi nyo?electric po ba sya o battery operated?thank you po doc....

[BUDS]

doc...and when it comes naman po doon sa feeder wala naman po bang nasasayang na pagkain?i mean kapag nabored ang baboy nagiging playful sila may tendency po na paglaruan nila yung feeder at pag may lumabas na feeds baka paglaruan nila ito kung di lang naman kakainin...ang akin doc yung aksaya na tinatawag....

[rain]

doc.
    good day po sa kanila at mabuhay po kayo...doc matanung ko lang po kasi ang balak ko po kasi gamitin tong adlib procedure(open feeder) na to sa aking mga biik kasi nasabi nyo po dito na lumalaki ang mga baboy in uniform sizes it means na parepareho ang kanilang timbang at walang pinipiling oras kung kailan sila kakain at any amount hindi limited tama po ba?kaya lang doc may nakapagsabi rin sa akin na kapag ganito naman daw hindi mo makikita kung sino yung malakas kumain o hindi at isa pa hindi mo rin malalaman kung sino may sakit o wala tama po ba?
     kung ganito ang case paano ko po ba malalaman kung may sakit ang baboy ko or may diperensya ang isa sa kanila kung adlib ang gagamitin ko?thank you po doc and mabuhay po kayo....

Buds, the feeder dispense feeds by the help of gravity and natural rooting behavior of the animal.
The pig will hit a lever and in turn will agitate the feeder and by gravity the feeds will go the bowl.
Wastage, feeds will not overflow beyond the feeder. So maiiwan lang siya sa bowl at kakainin ng kasunod na baboy.

Rain, you can look at the pigs eye,temperature, belly/breathing, and activity.
Usually sick pig have red eye, high temperature, heavy breathing, and idle.

doc, meron po akong nakitang mga feeder gawa sa semento, parang funnel type, pinasadya po, palagay ko mas mura siya kaysa bumili ng cone type, notice ko lang po na wala ng cover ang catch niya sa baba, ok lang po ba ito? meron kasi ako nakita na may cover para di langawin ang feeds. if compare ko naman sa nabibiling cone type autofeeder ay wala din po itong protection sa langaw.
any comment po...

Yes it is okay to use.

Para makamura they just make their own feeder made of concrete.

Doc, meron ka bang plano o design ng concrete feeder na ito? Puede ba humingi ng copy? Thanks.
