Livestock Health Disclaimer

Introduction

PH Livestock ("Baboy PH") is a listing service that connects livestock breeders with potential buyers. This disclaimer addresses important considerations regarding animal health and welfare. Please read it carefully before using our platform to buy or sell livestock.

No Health Guarantees

PH Livestock does not inspect, examine, or verify the health status of any animal listed on our platform. Health-related information in listings (including vaccination status, weight, age, and breed) is provided by sellers and has not been independently verified by us. We make no guarantees or representations about the accuracy of this information.

Buyer Responsibilities

Before purchasing any livestock through connections made on our platform, buyers should:

• Inspect all animals in person before completing any purchase
• Request and verify veterinary health certificates and documentation
• Confirm vaccination records and deworming history with the seller
• Check for signs of illness, injury, or disease
• Verify the animal matches the description provided in the listing
• Consult a licensed veterinarian for professional health assessments

Common Risks

Livestock purchases carry inherent risks that buyers should be aware of, including but not limited to:

• Disease: Animals may carry communicable diseases that are not immediately apparent, including African Swine Fever (ASF), Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS), and other conditions.
• Transport stress: Moving animals can cause stress-related health issues, reduced immunity, and behavioral changes.
• Adjustment period: Animals may experience difficulty adapting to new environments, feed, and management practices.
• Improper care: Animals require proper nutrition, housing, and veterinary care to thrive. Lack of proper care can lead to health problems regardless of the animal's initial condition.

Veterinary Advice

PH Livestock does not provide veterinary advice, diagnosis, or treatment recommendations. Nothing on our platform should be interpreted as veterinary guidance. Always consult a licensed veterinarian for professional advice regarding animal health, nutrition, vaccination schedules, and disease prevention.

Animal Welfare Compliance

All users of our platform are expected to comply with Republic Act No. 8485 (Animal Welfare Act of 1998) as amended by Republic Act No. 10631. This includes ensuring humane treatment of animals during sale, transport, and care. Any listing or activity that promotes animal cruelty or violates animal welfare laws is strictly prohibited and will be removed.

Seller Responsibilities

Sellers are encouraged to provide accurate and complete information about their animals, including health status, vaccination history, known conditions, and any relevant veterinary records. While we cannot enforce the accuracy of listings, providing honest information builds trust and helps ensure positive outcomes for both parties.
