jompa67 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I've posted some new pictures of our farm on Facebook, for those of you who are interested in how it looks at our farm. hi jompa i have tried to download youre autofarm but nothing happens is there another way i can get it allso what is the cost of mixing 18% and 16% protien per 30k bag these days thanks We pay around 14.5 - 15 bath/kg for 18% protein feed. We use it for pigs in range of 30 kg up to 60 kg. For 60 to 80 kg, we use 16% food to a cost of around 12 - 12.5 bath/kg. We have test low quality feed indigence but with poor result. You can bring down price with 1 - 2 bath if you use another formula based on rice, rice bran oil and 55% fish meal. The price depends heavily on the raw materials you can find in the area you live. If you have a small farm, you can ask the local rice mills for Broken rice and rice bran and get the price down a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigeonjake Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 hi mick, well mate im no expert, but often we will get a load of pigs, or even if you breed your own, there will allways be the odd one that wont make up. i have a pen for these away from the others and just put them in there, sink or swim for them, i will give them vitimins just to help them, but i try and stay away from antibiotics, i do keep on top of worms and will worn every month when young, i dont think it will be swine fever you have mate, else they would all have it, its just some dont have the vigour of others, my thoughts and like i say im no expert, i havent heard of anything going round here,, and i went and fetched another 30 piglets the other day, pictures of them on shaggys photo thread, nice lot of piglets all nice and pink, good luck mate hope all comes well for you, jake remember mate google is our best friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrChangers Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Well I did say "Never say never", just seen some beautiful little piglets ..... Price of pork here in Surin is at a mind blowing high so my wife has been buying chickens for me to kill for dinner. The markets are crying out for pigs so slaughter your own, pack them in ice, and get to the night markets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jompa67 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 What is current price in Surin? We have been in contact with an old customer from Korat. He told us that there is alot of pigs out on the market and the price is down to 67 bath/kg. In the area where we live, we get 69 -70, but that can change very quick.

pigeonjake Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 the price of pigs is still 70 bht here in sakaoe province, we had 30 to go, buyer taking them all but said can he come every 3 days and take 5 at a time, i dont have a problem with that, todays 5 average weight was 91kilo, there was a small one,you allways get one that dosnt do as good as the others, biggest was 111kilo but to be honest i dont mind them going at 80-90 kilo as that last bit is the hardest to get on the pig, but all still good here, 15 more to go in this lot, then itll be about 3 weeks and another 23 will be ready, we try and get at least 20 out every month, nice to get 30 out, but,, ive done some flyers for the feed, it seems good feed, i had the old couple come round today for a yak and look at the farrowing crates im making, they are going to get there feed from us, im not that botherd if i dont sell much, im more pleased that i can feed my ppigs a lot cheaper then i have been doing, i dont really like farrowing crates but i have made mine a little bigger then normal, its safer, as one of our last new sows was a right cow, wouldnt let you go near her piglets, yet her sister is a little darling,, safer for mac whenj i not there to have them in farrowing crates, jake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi kev Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Hi i have a gilt that went of her food for a couple of days then started spewing up previous to this i had given hher some vitamin mix that had got wet the mrs reckoned that she was getting too hot thats y she got sick the pig aborted and i gave her a shot of long acting penicillin and she is eating and drinking again what do you guys that are a lot more experienced than me think the cause was thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thoongfoned Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 how long into the pregnancy was she.? have any other sows-gilts pregnant living under same roof? two days off food then abort, see this happen from time to time, one this morning that's was only 24 days in...... the temp could play a part in stressing the animal, or a sudden fall in temp, look to others in the same house ect... maybe the pig was sick? fell heavy ect..... the list goes on. have a check and see how much food you were feeding her,(maybe too much) make sure good and plenty full access to water. have pigs that have aborted and just stand up and eat and drink as normal too. who really knows.... if you are gonna give her another try let her cycle once more then try again on the second heat. we tend to "take out" the said pig in question. loose to many days and of course the cost aspect. all depends if you run the farm as hobby or business....... no sure answers but check the basics and you could see a problem somewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigeonjake Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 not much more to add, apart from if anything gets wet,, in time it will go off and shouldnt of been given to your sow, vits, anything,, fresh is better,,and not expencive, not worth taking the chance for the sake of a 40bht bag of vits, good luck with her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsaanAussie Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 Don't forget the water source guys. Lotsa bugs with the rainy season.

I have only been using it on effluent run off and occasional room wash to keep the fly's down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsaanAussie Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 You got it. Lacto builds up in the colon of the pig over a few weeks. After that much fewer gut issues, better FCRs, no scouring and no smells....1::1000 in the water tank. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigeonjake Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 if you read back,, i also soak my corn in water with em and molasis for 24 hours before i give them it,, not only softens the corn but it must absorb some of the em and molasis, my mum always put a bit of molasis on the horse feed, good for condition, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
