Hog raising has become a systematic business nowadays.
Before, we just feed all the herds then just wait for them to grow. It’s a lot
different today. Nutrition and genetics became the center of attraction. Fact
is, there are really feeding methods that can help you earn more.
Unfortunately, BEING CHEAP is not included on those methods.
Since I
am a natural feed distributor, converting customers from conventional hog
raising to natural hog raising is a BIG task for me. Imagine, every day of my
life I am talking to people older than me and letting them know and understand
that they are doing wrong ways on their farm and that’s why they don’t earn.
Some are easy to talk to, others are in doubt (of course), but most are
skeptical.
In
terms of farm management, we have different kinds of hog raisers. Some of them
are correct and most of them are wrong. That’s why they don’t earn in this
industry.

I
cringe whenever I hear someone say they want to skip a product line
(pre-starter or booster for example) for the reason that they want to earn more
and lessen the feed expenses. They thought that decreasing their feed expense
will help them earn more but the truth is that the more you lessen your farm’s nutrition, the more you are decreasing
your earning possibility (opportunity lost) because pigs don’t attain their maximum weight
without getting the proper nutrition.
Is that
really hard for these people to reduce (or just remove) darak from their feeding system?
Don’t
get me wrong. I also want to earn more as a hog raiser and lessen my expenses
but I have a different approach in getting my goals.
Here
are some disadvantages of BEING CHEAP on feed consumption:
- Pigs don’t reach their maximum weight (probably you already know the reason why).
- Diseases can easily penetrate your farm (since their immune system are is weakened).
- Casualties are much larger compared to the natural farm management.
- You spend more on medicines (since your pigs are always sick).
- Meat vendors don’t want to buy your pigs (because they know what you’re doing). Thus, your harvest is being delayed.
- Your income opportunity decreases.
These are just
some of the no-brainer reasons why you should quit on being cheap on feed consumption
and start giving your farm the right nutrition.
Just imagine all
your income losses by doing this. Calculate what you could have earned if you
just gave your farm the right nutrition on your previous harvest. Most of all,
if you want to earn more, try natural farming. This is an excellent way in
maximizing your income while reducing your efforts in your herd.
See
you at the top of your business!
