How do you succeed in breeding and selling life stock pigs or cows here in the Philippines? Do we really make money or do we lose our money, when raising life stock animals for the local markets?
The "farmgate" price of a living pig or cow in the Philippines is about 110.00 PHP/kg.
Nobody should spend more than this price, when buying a live animal: because you will have to shoulder the costs of slaughtering, dividing and the "natural" loss of 40% (beef) or 30-35% (pork), before you can sell the meat to the local market at prices starting around 200.00 PHP/kg...
If you are selling to wholesale, you will even get less than this!
So just weigh your "baby" or infant animal to calculate your real buying price and try to find a good retailer for the feed (about 1.5 kgs of feeding will equal in 1 kg more meat) and don´t forget the price for the veterinarian and other costs like slaughtering, land, building, maintenance and your own work for your calculation!
Means: if you pay more than 100.00 PHP/kg for life stock and more than 40.00 PHP/kg for the food, you will have a lost at the end!
How do you calculate your life stock breeding with pigs or cows, when selling the meat finally to the local market?
How do you feed your life stock to get a final win, when selling it?
Where did you get the best deals for animal feed? Could we cooperate for Cebu Island to get the best rate for animal feed?
Best greetings to all animal breeders in the Philippines from Germany,

P.S. In Europe the price of farmgate pigs is about 60.00 PHP/kg, although Europeans usually earn 10 times more per month in PHP compared to the Philippines!

The desired baboy carcass here is EXTREMELY fatty. In provincial areas most baboy raising is accomplished by the household. End stage feed fluctuates as anywhere but i can never recall paying more than 40/kl. starters and mid stage even less. no winter freeze + constant use, truly fallow land is rarity,= much parasite cow or pig or chicken or dog or cat or human....
Land here is precious compared to income, typical of any corrupt oligarchy, If a neighbor sees long greens in another area, it is his duty to trim graze growth with his animals. The caribou caretakers and cattle grazers are always moving their animals around.
Electricity and freezer expensive, so you consume what you raise and have more on the hoof in the growth stages. Slaughtering is usually a neighborhood and special occasion event.
Retailing, that is another question but of course you must be big enough to support a customer base, or like many sell door to door what they cannot use in time.
