October 23, 20214 yr Popular Post My girlfriend has a pig farm in Isaan. She can accommodate 100 pigs but she prefers buy 50 at a time. She would like to expand her business, building another shelter to house another 100 pigs (total 200) I've asked for her business figures, expenses/outgoings etc but she is vague, saying pig food cost 75000 Baht every month or so, vaccinations for each pig etc., she then sells the piglets once they grow up 100kg. Anyone out there involved with pig farming or similar? Can reply with figures for such a business? Cheers
October 23, 20214 yr I've heard of the sick cow con story from vague Thai ladies but never a pig story. If she is doing so well leave it well alone. All I know is a guy from Canada started pig farming with his Thai wife and they pack it in as there was too much competition.
October 23, 20214 yr Open. your wallet mate. Soon, she will have 1000 pigs and you will be the pig master without a work permit. 555 And a new tractor, pick up etc...
October 23, 20214 yr 55555555 Very vague.. I think you are feeding the whole village and a few car payments and houses ... I've asked for her business figures, expenses/outgoings etc but she is vague, saying pig food cost 75000 Baht every month
October 23, 20214 yr My GF has a new business idea; Raising buffalos with 5 legs. Will be unique and only costs 2 Million Baht a month to run the business. Mom, dad, 25 brothers and sisters, uncles, ex, all will be employed on a small salary of 75k a month. I think I go for this venture.
October 23, 20214 yr Can alwaly make a bit extra and save on some feed, disposing of dead bodies. I'm sure you've seen brick tops monologue in the movie snatch.

October 23, 20214 yr Geeze, you guys are little insensative. This OP is obviously looking for advice, chicken legs is the only positive reply. All you other funny guys, I would like you all to join this post, it's out of this world. The OP (will be good) story is like reading a fiction novel, lots of angles and direction, always the right response from comments and the headline that draws you to the story. More twists and turns than that of Coronation Street Have a dig at this Joker https://aseannow.com/topic/1236037-a-nightmare-is-unfolding/page/15/
October 24, 20214 yr Popular Post Happy to help out if you can give me a few more details of the farming operation. Given response here so far I would suggest you send me a message if you are interested and we take it offline. There are many variables to consider such as: Is she operating independantly or contracted? If contracted what are the details? If independant..... What is the weight of piglets she buys? Where does she buy them? Feed brand used. Grades used. Buy by bag or bulk. Quantities purchased? If known, what are the bag prices of feed or per tonne bulk? What FCR (feed conversion ratio) is achieved? Mortality rate on average? How sold, quantities and who buys? Current Bank of Thailand farm price quoted is 67 baht/kg. What is she getting? The feed cost you quoted seems high for a batch of 50 pigs, assuming they are grown out and sold at 100kg.
