21 day olds High Quality FR chicks from a contract farmer in TARLAC!






Mang Bayani is a small contract grower from Tarlac.

Beginner grower, trained by Dr. Danny Milla.

He started with 400 heads still alive, with only the 2% allowance of 8 heads are the only mortalities.

21 day olds but weighing well at 200 grams each!

I stand corrected! I was informed by Dr. Danny Milla that the actual weights of the free range chicks are not 200 grams but 375 grams each!

Uniformity at 90%!

QUALITY = SUSTAINABILITY = VIABILITY = PROFIT!

new data on bayani's farm:
average weight at 4 weeks: 726g
mortality: 8/408
FCR: 1.78
still no vaccine. still no anti-biotic
we are supplementing with pesticide-free, in-farm vegetables and fruits just like reina helena farm of dr. milla.
we are following his protocol for grow-out.

last of the batch harvested last easter. 370 sold. the others were too yummy to resist. haha. average dressed weight= 1200g (tailored to market demand). FCR=2.0 based on feed consumption only not including fresh fruits and vegetables.
compared to dr hernandez's farm where the harvest was 196/200, ave. dressed weight of 1.9 kilos (again tailored to his market's demand), FCR=2.0 not including vegetables and fruits.
VERY NICE!
