Question:
I would like to ask what are the things needed in starting a Piggery? like any permits? Will you specify how I gonna start? - eyescube (pcaard msg board)
Answer:
Please consider the following information before starting a swine enterprise:
- where to market your animal?
- location of your farm (if near residential, market place, water source, road proximity, etc.)
- financial consideration (initial capital: P80T/sow needed for the 1st yr of implementation of the farm. This includes cost of the sow, feeds, biologies, building and equipment for all classes of animals)
Building of equipment: P 40T/sow
Feeds: at most P 30/day/sow
Gilts(7 mos old) costs P9,500
Boar costs: P20,000 – P30,000
Medicines and vaccines: 3% of the total cost of feed
As to the permits, well, you need to ask permission first to the barangay level down to the provincial level including DENR. It is quite a long proces but hope you can get thru it. – gammy
Hog raising is a very popular enterprise in the Philippines such that there is a proliferation of backyard producers, which dominates the swine industry and a healthy viable commercial sector.
Despite the crises facing the swine industry, still many people are venturing in this enterprise. This manual hopes to bring appropriate technology to the interested farmers and would-be swine producers in order that they may realize profitable production and improve their quality of life.
Breed of Swime
There are many imported breeds in the country today and its sometimes difficult to determine the best breed most suited to our conditions. Here is a guide to help you select the breed to raise depending on your purpose, money and experience.
Yorkshires or Largewhite – are entirely white with medium, erect ears. Sows have superior mothering ability, farrow and wean large litters and are excellent milkers. They adapt well to confinement but not to rugged conditions. Slaughter animals yield a high dressing percentage, produce fine quality meat and compare favorably with other breeds in growth and economy of gains.
Landrace – are white, have short legs and medium to large drooping ears. The sows are noted for their excellence in mothering ability and litter size. They are heavy milkers and produce pigs with superior rate of growth and efficiency in feed utilization. When crossed with other breeds, they produce pigs of highly acceptable carcass quality. They are however, weak on the feet and legs and have problems adapting to rugged conditions. Such defects should be corrected by proper selection and breeding.
The Duroc – color is of varying shades of red. The sows are prolific and are good mothers. They produce pigs that are superior in growth rate, feed conversion, and “their performance under rugged conditions is better than any of the white breeds.
Hampshires – are black with a white belt around the shoulder and body. They are generally short legged and lack body thickness. The sows have a reputation of weaning a high percentage of the pigs farrowed and are able to adapt to very rugged conditions. The growth rate, however has generally been average or below.
Berkshires – are black with six white points -four white feet, some white in the face and tail. The ears are erect and inclined forward as the animal grows older. They are known for their style, meatiness and good adaptability to rugged conditions. They have desirable length, depth and balance ofbody but lack good growth and efficiency in converting feed to weigh gain. The sows are not as prolific as the other breeds.
The Pietrain – is a very meaty type of pig with spotted black and white color. It has well-shaped hams, loin and shoulders. Ears are erect, The carcass has a high lean meat percentage, but it has a poor body constitution. Feed efficiency is not really good and they are a little bit slow grower. This breed is also highly susceptible to stress. Thus, Pietrain is only worthwhile in crosses but not as purebreeds.

would pigs isolated inside an airconditioned room be safe. we’ll they not die of suffocation. I guess they will not emit toxic smell to places outside that room. I am thinking of raising pigs in the metro so i am wondering if what i am imagining can happen.. please enlighten me on this.. thanks..

Dear Sir,
As a beginner on piggery business.I would like to ask about the timing of the buyer to get our fatteners ( slaughter pigs ) . Suppose to be the fatteners will not be given feeds and water for the whole day as instructed by the buyer before they come. It so happened that the caretaker forgot to cut off the water line in the morning and only do so after lunch. And in the afternoon when the buyer come they found out that water was dripping out in the nipple drinkers. So they refuse to get the fatteners and tells the caretaker to come back the following day at 7am.
My question is: “Are there loses in the liveweight of the fatteners?” The fatteners are fasting from feeds for 24 hours. “Did we make make mistakes for selling the fatteners the following day?” Twenty Five (25) heads are involved.
Thank you.
Truly Yours,
Nick M. Sanico

Dear Sir/madam,
Good day po! Ako po ay naninirahan sa Pampanga, at isa po kami sa maramiong tinamaan ng sakit sa mga baboy noong nakaraang buwan. Nauna pa po rito ay nagkaroon na kami ng problem sa pagdispose ng baboy noong nakaraang taon dahil sa mga baboy na inimport mula sa ibang lugar na nagpapababa ng benta sa baboy on liveweight po. Malaki po ang lugi namin dahil mas mataas po ang overhead, na naging sanhin ng mga delayed payments po namin sa feeds na pinagkukunan namin.
Mas lalo napo ngayon na wala po kaming piglets dahil nga po tinamaan din ng sakit ang mga baboy dulot ng nakaraang epidemya. Lahat po ng mga inahin namin na dapat manganak mula buwan ng Hulyo hanggang ngayong buwang kasalukuyan ay nangakunan.
Ako po ay magtatanong sana kung mayroon kayong suggestion kung saan ako pwedeng kumuha ng loans sa pinakamadali at murang interes din naman upang maka recover sa aming pagkakautang gawa ng sunod-sunod na naging problema sa babuyan. Mayroon po bang loan ang Agri para sa mga katulad kong naapektuhan ng mga nagdaang problema sa baboy upang maka bangon muli?

Ka Vener,
Check ko resources tungkol sa biogas from animal waste. Sorry, hindi ko kabisado area near Lucena for cheaper feeds. Usually kasi makaka-discount ka pag wholesale o maramihan ang kuha, or kung suki mo na yung supplier. Regards.

LUNTIAN sa tiaong quezon, mura pero quality, yung mga baboy ko in 3 mos tumimbang ng 80 to 85 hindi pa pambenta kse kakatapos lang ng grower. tig–isang sako pa ng finisher ang uubusin. mas maganda magpa member ka o yung tatay mo.
nagdedeliver sila hanggang infanta, quezon
