Hog raising

Thank you for the advice. I'm set to attend a seminar from DTI and I'm expecting to learn much from them. I think I won't have any problems with neighbors since the lot is very huge. Also, the surrounding area is also for agricultural purposes. I just hope I would get the hang of it once I've started it. Thanks again.

When I was young I used to see one piggery that what he did in his place was plant the surrounding area with fragrant flowers to dispel the foul odor. Somehow it worked for him and it served as another source of income since the waste coming from the pigs became the fertilizers for the sampaguita which bloomed heavily because of its enriched soil and sold its flowers as well. Maybe you can do that as well.

Good for you that you are able to get a piece of land at your disposal. Take advantage of it to make money out of it. Maybe if there are more spaces left you can also try planting different plants like veggies and fruit bearing ones so you can really take advantage of the space and somehow make good use of the manure it will produce. Another suggestion is using the manure as a source of methane gas to produce a fuel which can in turn power your place and be independent from using the commercial electricity. But I think this one needs more study since it is more techie in approach.

Yes, I also believe that this line of business requires dedication, proper training, and lots of hard work. I just hope I would be able to do all of those in order for this business to succeed. I plan to go on seminars organized by DTI. Thank you for the information.

Yep, I've also set my eyes on mango farming. I guess I'll go plant some mango trees on our first site visit. I've heard from my cousin that there are already trees in the area. My cousin on the other hand is planning to set up poultry there. Thanks for the advice.
