[@rosieisadog6868]

If you have purslane and other edible weeds growing in your land, you can harvest them and cook with bran feed which are good feed filler.

[@williamhall2246]

Thanks for doing this video. I will be in the same situation and all information is helpful . You're making great progress ..more than I would have attempted to start out with.lol Blessings for y'all in the future

Great video! It's nice to see that in the Philippines a family can still operate a piggery. In Canada here not many smaller farms have piggerys anymore. Most farms are done on a large scale and they are mostly owned by large companies

Maayong Buntag Guys, Good analysis on monthly expenses. ;-) I wished that you break it down to individual cost like you sold 2/3 pigs for PHP 24k? What were the cost/expenses (housing, feed, maintenance etc.) for each pig? Value - Cost = Revenue/Percent. Just curious...

[@LawrenceBroussard]

You'll had me laughing with I cannot read her writing, and the pillow. Thanks for the update up the cost of you'll piggery. Curious since there a lot of local rice produces if rice bran is available as a very low cost feed for your soon feeder pigs and a added feed in your regular feed mix.

Hello Wayne..

[@gregb3957]

Great video! I have found my beautiful future wife in Canlaon. She loves to raise pigs, and would love to make a living from it. So your video is very helpful. Gives me a very general idea of the cost of caring for many pigs. I am also curious about how much monthly revenue is produced by your 90,000p monthly expense. I also want to say i really like how you and Maricel express love for each other! Pinays are so sweet!

[@keithross9558]

You two are such a cute couple. I don't comment very often but I do watch all of your videos.

[@quaggg]

Hi Brian and Maricel. So you are on the spending side of the cycle. When the piggery is in full production, it will be very interesting to see what the profit margin will be. I think that it will be high. God bless.

[@LON639]

Brian, negotiate a price based on your feed consumption and leverage the volume. The negotiation should build a long-term relationship with the dealer for a win-win situation and eliminate price fluctuations.

[@MrMuttes]

sure that is the way , have every expenditure writen down , just make sure you can have profit , or it will be you fettening pigs for no profits. i do not know much on pigs, but i think that having the feed from a company it might be the main food source, but shpould not be the only one, pigs can graze, or eat grass and other things to, it will give them some extra nutrients and might diminish your fgeedcost, you can give them the youngh banana trees to eat, nicelly choped, can plant sweet ptato , also some gabi, belive if you search on with the locals they will tell what else the pigs can eat, but if yiu get on the internet you will find in philip[pines there is plente extra plants to feed your pigs to..

[@desiderata4445]

There are vegetables that you can plant and use as piggery feeds.

Hello lovely couple

[@jrbxr2501]

Hi Brian and Marcel, very informative as usual and lovely the double act. This is a bit of a curve ball question but, would you happen to know how much goats cost? I have been offered 5 (3 male, 2 females) for php 20k. Not sure if there is any profit either but they might be useful for keeping the jungle at bay and clearing dropped fruit. Keep up the good work, you're both an inspiration.

[@aforeignerfarminginthephil3374]

It really depends on the breed and the age and weight. Not a good price, but not absolutely terrible either...offer 15k and meet at a lower price..

[@zeineguy]

It will be a long term loss until you start to see a profit. Hope you are prepared. I am wondering if you are interested in doing a test, Brian. Take 6 pigs the same size, divide into 2 pens. One pen, you feed regular as you are now. And the other pen, you put a self feeder in it. They are built to hold feed, and allow the pigs to eat when they want to. I did this with my pigs when I saw they were growing slowly. When you feed the pigs regular, they seem to go crazy and the dominant ones get more feed. But when there is always feed there, they will eat when they are hungry. No rush to be first or eat as much as you can before it is gone. I find less to clean after awhile too.

[@aforeignerfarminginthephil3374]

What did you notice in feed conversion and overall feed cost?

[@zeineguy]

@@aforeignerfarminginthephil3374 once the pigs are aware there is feed there all the time, it works out better, as they don't fight over feed, waste feed or over eat, I made my own feeder out if wood instead of buying a premade metal one. It lasted about 3 months before they started eating it. Lol. But they could eat anytime, even at night if hungry. I thought they also gained weight better.

[@mayafall4922]

Having.a pugery is not really.a gòod profit for me ha its just like a piggy bank.Brian and Maricel why dont u invest ur money planting like 300 coffee .its great .for me were i live in the South my brother got a 5 acres we plant 500 of Rubber tree its almost 5 yrs at botton coffee 250 pcs. And some Banana plantine.buyer buy the banana / lbs..and its great Rambutan and.Lansones Brian u have a land .

[@TheThrillsCouple]

MAYA FALL I agree with you I have been thinking about having a piggery too but my mom says it’s not that good. I’m thinking of buying property where I can plants fruits and veges.

[@myjourneyofw2256]

My brother has a piggery too.. He has about 10 mother pigs so almost a month he sold a piglets ( 10 to 15 piglets ). Maybe for him it's better. Cheaper feeds because he is working at feeds company ang has own feeds shop.

[@stephenjohnson6632]

Man if you think you are going to get rich having a business in the Philippines you are dreaming unless you have a lot of capital to through into it. And i dont think brian is doing it to become rich. I think he is doing it because he loves that sort life style and has grown up on farms. And like every thing we do in life its trial and error till we find out want workes for us and for our needs and happiness . So i give my hat off to you brian and Marecil you are giving it a go and living your dream . And i can't wait to see how it all turns out for you both and wish you all the best. And i am bloody jealouse of you both right now. That i still have to wait till 2021 before me and my wife can live our dream in the Philippines when we retire there.

I hope the market won't be saturated with pigs. The best time to sell them is for Fiesta, or if someone wants to celebrate a birthday. We ended up selling piglets for like 1000 piso , not many people had much honey to buy pigs. We scaled down our operation after it got too expensive to keep them fed.

[@aforeignerfarminginthephil3374]

Prices here still around 2500 for piglets

[@aforeignerfarminginthephil3374]

I'm curious, do you still remember the cost of feed back then?

[@ralphstewart4025]

I wanna say 100 piso a sack. piso was 44 to dollar.

[@248945077]

Interesting. Just wondering what is the protein source in the food? Did the piggery thing in the 70's just to sell piglets. Never will forget,...3 months, 3 weeks, and 3 days gestation period.

Soy..👍

[@jameswojciechowski508]

Wow Brian, thats a lot of money to shell out every month, and it will just get bigger as U grow in size. Please listen to me, TAHOP is a by product of rice after the milling, research has p-layed it is very nutritional for pigs, mix it with water and make a slur out of it and supplement it into that pig feed 1/4 tahop 3/4 pig feed, U will save much money on Ur feed bill a month. Tahop is cheap if U buy it buy the sack, it sells here in our area for 19 peso for 1 kg, U can save at least 13,000 or more peso a month with a quick change,. it all addes up!!! They sell it all over the Philippines, because thats what locals feed their stock, if not tahop, pollard, its a little more pricey, not much more!! When U add water to it, it expands like fermenting grain, it fills them up and makes there food easier to digest do to the water content, very healthy. By the way, using rice hauls in the stalls will be an Angel for U in the long run, just trying to help cut the cost and i C it in Ur face!!! Thanks for letting me exspess the topic, no offense in any way PLEASE.

[@aforeignerfarminginthephil3374]

Thanks James we'll look around. The biggest reason why the feed is so expensive is because we are having to buy it by the sack instead of by the ton. Still looking for bulk delivery..no luck yet.

[@jameswojciechowski508]

Brian, I hope U can find a seller, other then that enjoying the channel!!

[@myjourneyofw2256]

Hi, Maricel! My brother is working in one of the feeds company. Maybe if you can directly buy it to the company maybe should be cheaper (not sure). I heard there is a farm in Burgos and directly purchased the feeds to him is cheaper.

[@aforeignerfarminginthephil3374]

[@harvey32560]

I really enjoy your expense videos. They are very informative. I’m guessing that cost will double with the plateau piggery? Also, like your new hungry cohost. It seems she’s going to be more expensive :). Good luck and stay well.

[@Renaissanceman86]

Assuming 100k in cost per month over three months at 60 pigs. That leaves you jist over 12k USD net profit for pig fattening at 120kg per pig at 135php per kilo. This does not include the cost of pig purchase.

[@aforeignerfarminginthephil3374]

That would be about right if they were all fattening pigs, but most are gilts and sows, so for the next 3+ months the money will all be going out and very little coming in👍

[@Renaissanceman86]

@@aforeignerfarminginthephil3374 assuming ur doing just piglet rearing I think it's closer to 1.2 million php per month. There is more money in the long run for piglet raising at (3,500 php selling) per head vs fattening. Though the real money is in the butchering.

[@aforeignerfarminginthephil3374]

We are getting the feed pro from the local distributor here in Talibon. As for selling size, it all depends on what is bringing the highest price that week, or may in the next month or so. Fiestas here have a lot to do with what you sell when. Any not sold for a nice price beforehand will in the end be sold at 80-95 kg for what ever the price is at that time.

Brian can I suggest to minimize your feed! used a mix banana tree, where i come from it's cheaper to fed your pig with banana tree mix with other vegetables, the pig weighs heavy and they grow quickly. it saves you buying fed, tells your caretaker to coke pig foods with banana, tree and the rice that is last on the mill with rice husk or skin still on it.
