Duck Raising Business Guide
April 24, 2009 by Leo 8,769 Views
Duck Raising is a lucrative livestock industry in the Philippines because of its egg. Its most important product, the balut (boiled incubated duck’s egg), is sold daily throughout the archipelago for its delicious flavor and nutritive value.
Duck raising is especially recommended in baytowns like those bordering the shores of Laguna de Bay, where there are abundant supplies of fresh water snails which make good duck food.

how much money will be needed to start this business?
is there any disadvantages in this one?whats the risk?
@xyza freya baguilod, total investment will depend on the number of heads you plan to raise. recommended is at least 2,000 heads for a good profit. initial investment is roughly 330k for 2,000 ready-to-lay pullets and cage, assuming that you have your own lot. daily net profit is roughly P1,600 or 48k/month.

hi! po interesado po akong mag-alaga ng 1000pcs na itik sa pangasinan kaso di ko po alam kung saan bibili ng dumalagang itik at kung magkano ang isa? di rin ako marunong mag-alaga paano nga ba mag-alaga nito? wala po ba kayong tip na tagalog na babasasin para mas maintindihan ko at gaano karami ang kakainin na feeds sa isang araw at magkano ito? paano makakatipid at saan pwuding ibinta ung itlog.
@ace yuson, ang advice ko sa yo ganito: mahirap magsimula sa isang negosyong wala kang alam. sa negosyong paghahayupan, mas mainam na meron ka ng previous experiences para mas malaki ang chance mo na maging sucessful. kelangan mo munang mamuhunan, tulad ng pag attend ng seminar, pag-babasa ng mga reading materials tungkol sa pagi-itik, o pagtanong-tanong sa mga may karanasan na sa pag-aalaga. pag-aralan mo munang maigi, kung maaari nga e mag observe ka muna sa isang existing farm ng matagal, o kaya kumuha ng taong may matagal ng kaalaman sa pag-aalaga at gawin mong consultant. and trc at nego-skwela ay nagbibigay ng ganitong uri ng seminars, ito yung contact details:

to adonis de guzman, for 450 ducks you need to feed them 1 1/4 bag of feeds, 1 bag of feed cost 900+. so gagastos ka ng 1200 a day. kung ang itik mo ay umiitlog ng 80percent x 5.50 per egg = kita mo -minus gastos mo sa isang araw. yong matitira ang profit mo a day.
thanks po for the info. i’ll try it right away. thank you very much.
hi! Mr. Leo, i currently have 450 ducks that is strictly for egg production. They lay about 350 eggs per day that is when the fields are available for them to scour foods. but during farming season, i only feed them feeds bought in the market. my problem is that it doesnt yield as many eggs as they do when the fields are open for pasture. now, i have read in an article that if you give them manufactured feeds, you could at least have a 60:40 profit. I mean, 60% goes to buying feeds and 40% is profit. but i dont know how much feeds do i have to feed 450 ducks per day in order for them to produce eggs that would give me a 40% profit? could you please help me? I just started last year and i havent figured it out yet. please, i really need help.
@adonis de guzman, i can’t offer you expert advice but i can point you to some resources who can provide answers:

@Kenn, i’m not sure if 10k is profitable enough to raise ducks. is it just a hobby or testing the business? where are you located? the price of feeds these days is discouraging for some duck raisers. better check this forum and ask from the real expert:

Sir Leo,
Thanks for the reply, I am located @ Cavite, Yeah you’re Right it will start as a hobby, My plan is to test first then if it grows… well i guess i’ll turn it into a steady growing business. i have spoken to some Local Raisers and Breeders in our Town and they told me to log on to this site and read on… by the way your site is Really helpful.
for starters my 3K of the 10K will buy me 3 Drakes and 15 Females. 250 per drake and 150 per female…. is the price of the ducks reasonable?
@Kenn, i’m not sure about the current price for the drake, but for ready-to-lay duck, the price range here in bulacan is P130-140.
Hi, I’m rico. We’re from Quezon and I’m planning to get into the duck raising business as well but I have no idea on where I can get ready-to-lay ducks that are just of the right age.. I know of somebody who bought ducks that are already laying eggs for almost a year so its production period was short.
I can supply if you are still interested.
just email me.
