Scale5 Pigs vs 20 vs 50: What Scale Works in the Philippines?
Not every farmer should scale up. Here is an honest breakdown of what it costs, what you earn, and what breaks even at 5, 20, and 50 heads in Philippine pig farming.
Capital tiersMagkano Puhunan sa Baboyan? Real Capital Tiers ₱20K to ₱500K (2026)
Five real capital tiers from ₱20K to ₱500K, with what each one buys, how many pigs you can run, and where each tier stops working. Built on verified PSA and DA prices, not the numbers YouTube videos skip.
BreedsBest Pig Breeds for Small Farmers in the Philippines
Which pig breed is actually best for a small farm in the Visayas or Mindanao? Growth rate, feed efficiency, heat tolerance, profitability, native pig lechon economics, and Davao crossbreeding trends.

SetupHow to Build a Backyard Piggery in the Philippines: Design, Cost, and What Actually Matters
Most Philippine backyard pig pens are either too small or built the wrong way, causing disease, slow growth, and neighbor complaints. This guide covers pen sizing, materials costs for Visayas and Davao, drainage design, typhoon-proofing, cooling systems, and the one component worth spending money on even in a low-budget build.
Live pricesPig Price Today Philippines: Presyo ng Baboy (May 2026)
As of May 2026, liveweight pig prices run roughly ₱200–₱230/kg nationally, above the ₱210/kg DA floor in most areas after the late-2025 crash. Here is the current picture and how to confirm the exact price near you.
Price mathLiveweight vs Dressed Weight: How to Compute Pig Price
A pig dresses out at about 72–78% of liveweight. A 100 kg pig yields roughly 72–78 kg carcass, so a ₱210/kg liveweight price is not a ₱210/kg dressed price. Here is the math and how to protect yourself at the sale.
