We are often asked what brand of feeds do we suggest? We don't name brands because we suggest what is convenient for you to get.
We always suggest go with premium feeds.
The growth during the brooding stage is very important. What should be met?
1) Good genetics for your chicks, very important
2) Premium feeds, they need the proper nutrition to armor them for the ranging period
3) Proper poultry management.
When further asked to go into specifics about feeds....you can go with what's readily available in your area, as long as make sure you are getting premium feeds. When we say premium, it doesn't necessarily mean what is most famous nor expensive. Premium means good quality and fresh.
More questions leads to, how about unmedicated feeds? You may ask your local feedmill in your area to mix unmedicated feed for you. The animal nutritionist of the feedmill company will be able to help you, just say you want no antibiotics nor animal protein...depending on your requirements.
Is there a commercial brand that makes unmedicated feeds? Yes, FEEDPRO. We carry it, but then our growers are encouraged to get from the distributors in their areas for freshness.
For areas where you don't have it yet....look for the signs or suppliers of TATEH and PET ONE....ask the distributors/dealers to get FEEDPRO for you...say you want to feed unmedicated feeds to your Sunshines.

Suggest retail prices as of 15 October 2008:
PHP735 25kilos Broiler 100 (chick booster) Suggested 1-21days
PHP1240 50kilos Broiler 200 (broiler starter) Suggested 22days to harvest or 22-35days
PHP1205 50kilos Broiler 300 (broiler finisher) Suggested 36days to harvest
Pwede malaman ang estimate na number of kilos ng feeds (booster, starter and finisher) ang mauubos ng 100 na manok from day 1 up to harvest (assuming we will harvest at 75 days)?
ReplyDelete@ Jojo, this will all depend on how grassy your area is as they prefer to forage, even if feeds are at their feeders, adlibitum. Safe to say about 2.5k of feeds in total, til harvest time.
ReplyDelete2.5k feeds/head from DOC to harvest?
ReplyDeletedo we have solraya in bikol? thanks.
@ lakers, Yes just about 2.5kilos of feeds till harvest time. We may send to Bicol area, no problem. We send nationwide.
ReplyDeleteis it ok not to give vaccination at early stage if the chicks are strong and healthy?
ReplyDelete@ jofette, it is suggested that you do. But if there are no poultry near you, and your area has not had poultry before...sure you may opt not to give. Actually, you should only vaccinate when they are strong and healthy, not when they are weak.
ReplyDeleteHello! Good am po. Pwede pa order ng feeds for pick up dito sa fti aani? Can I ask for current prices also?
ReplyDeleteAlso, hindi pa kami nag bigay ng vaccine sa mga chicks namin. We're on our 3rd batch of 100. Dapat na ba kami magbigay ng vaccine?
@ shopcrazygirl, naku ha....3 batches magkakatabi ng brooders? Baka you want to do the seminar tomorrow...BEFORE getting another batch
ReplyDeleteCan't cope up the prices...hindi kaya ng memory ko ang parating pagtaas. Will post prices after I ask my staff. Alam ko nag price increase ulit recently.
OMG! Its that bad na ba? Sige, I will try to convince my husband regarding the seminar tomorrow. Thanks!
ReplyDelete@ shopcrazygirl, best is we act like we are always alarmed
ReplyDeletehello! just wanted to let you know nagbigyan na namin mga chicks ng vaccine yesterday. we decided not to wait for the seminar anymore, nag inquire na lang kami sa binilhan ng vaccine how to administer. thanks for the warning. =)
ReplyDelete@ shopgirlcrazy, did you vaccinate all batches already? I hope you did :)So you will vaccinate again next week?
ReplyDeleteyes, all batches done. sabi dun sa binilhan namin ng vaccine pwede sabay so we did sabay. no casualty naman since last tuesday.
ReplyDelete@ shopcrazygirl, yes dapat talga sabay sabay sila vaccinate :) Next week again

ReplyDelete2.5kl n feeds ung mauubos ng isang chicken til harvest? mgkksama n po b duon ung booster starter at finisher? ilang kilo po ang mauubos ng manok s bwat isa?
ReplyDelete@ reinernavera, yes about 2.5 kilos per chicken, in total of feeds from day1 to harvest
ReplyDeleteHello sir,ano po mas mainam ipakain? 50%grower mash+50% corngrits o purong grower mash for growing stage? At pwede po bang ipakain ko sa kanila ung mga removed outer leaves ng cabage(UBAK) from latrinidad trading post na tindtad at isinawsaw sa kumukulong tubig? THANK YOU VERY MUCH SIR
ReplyDelete@warlock, hindi grower. Dapat ang pinapakian mo ay broiler starter from day21 until harvest. Please read the guide :)
ReplyDeleteYes pwede mong pakainin ng mga pinagtabasan na mga gulay.
Pwede po ba sir isubsidize ung corngrits sa finisher? kasi po e angdaming mais namin galing Casiguran Aurora, 35days old na po chicks ko. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHelo sir.Parehas po ba ang feeds na pinapakain sa mga sunshine na pangLAYERS at pangMEAT PURPOSE? For Example: sa pangmeat purpose-broiler starter,broiler finisher. At sa panglayers e layer starter, layer finisher. ganoon po ba? thanks
ReplyDelete@warlock, read through the blog. Your questions will be answered :)
ReplyDelete@warlock, yes pwede mo dagdagan ng corn
ReplyDeletesir, ang pinapakain ko po sa mga chicks ko e chopped banana skin,sayote(bulb,leaves,and vines), kamote tops,cabbage,carrots,potato,wild gabi,oregano leaves na ihinalo ko sa feeds na may ratio ng .8kgfeeds:3kg vegetables . At ang kinoconsume nila bawat araw ay 3-4kg 29birds 35days old.Ayos lang po ba un? Hindi kaya sila maooverfeed? wala po bang side effect un na makakasama sa kanila? Para kasing hindi sila nabubusog at ganado naman akong magpakain ng marami kasi po e libreng kinukuha ko sa trading post at mga tanim namin dito na sayote,kamote,oregano at gabi.
ReplyDeleteilang araw po ba bago maging layers ang mga broilers? at ano pong pinapakain na FEEDS?
ReplyDelete@warlock, ano na ang weight ng manok mo now at 35days?
ReplyDeleteIf you read through sa different topics, mababasa mo ang about table egg production :)
mam ask lng po ako sana if ano ang maisuggest mo sa akin na feeds na wlang halong chemical? at if meron brand na gumagawa ng organic feeds? gusto ko kasi magalaga nang sunshine na organic. thank po!
ReplyDelete@ hughal, hard to claim it is organic unless you grow your own corn and soya in fields that will fit the standards of the purists :) Can you find Feedpro in your area? With antibitotic and hormone free feeds, you have taken a lot of evil off raising chickens already.... you can then say, no antibiotics, no hormones. Hard to claim, better to just grow to closest to what is ideal :)
