Agrilink 2011 free-range chicken seminar

Good day everyone. I am very happy to announce that we will have another seminar for free-range chicken production this coming October 7, 2011 from 3:30-5:30 in the afternoon at the World Trade Center. Basics of free-range chicken production will be discussed as well as other topics related to free-range chicken.

a piece of advice...

When raising free-range chickens, please keep in mind that these chickens really do forage for food. If you have any plants or areas you wish the chickens would leave alone, protect these plants/areas by putting barriers that prevent the chicken from getting near the plants or area. Bounty Fresh Free-range chickens innately/naturally wants to forage and will do so instinctively without any regard as long as they have access to the plant or area. So if you don't want to incur the wrath of your mom because your chickens ate her plants or the chickens ruined a patch of ground because  they were dust bathing, better keep them away from it :) now, i have some explaining to do to my landlady why some of her sweet tamarind seedlings are devoid of leaves...uh oh...

poultry show 2011

The three days at The Poultry Show and Gamefowl Congress was energy-sapping but at the same time worth every calorie exhausted. Exhibits always excite me because that is the time that you have a chance to showcase your product or services to people and convince them that you are offering a very good product. This year's poultry show was no different from other exhibits i attended. Lots of people asking you left and right about free-range chickens that you can never avoid missing out answering some of the questions asked. This year, our booth were comprised by the Bounty Fresh Group namely Inoza, Bounty Farms (our commercial white layers), Bounty Fresh contract growing department, and Bounty Fresh Free-range Chicken. The same with last year, we installed a fenced area showing off older free-range chickens and a brooder cage containing our free-range day-old chicks. AND the same with last year and other exhibits, i almost always encounter one of the biggest stumbling block for free-range chicken production here in our country: misinformation/wrong information about the free-range chickens. People would always say Kabir or SASSO...i have been tempted too many times to just give in and call our product the same as what was mentioned but the free-range industry does not need anymore of that. It will be a long and hard process to change what most people know about free-range meat type chickens (please refer to my previous blog What really is SASSO? Kabir? Breaking the wrong information) but with perseverance and determination, we might just achieve the situation where people are well-informed. Remember, knowledge is power. with the right information, you can make a  better and sound judgement and have a higher chance of making the right decision. Rest assured, Bounty Fresh Free-range Chicken will be a constant presence at exhibits to tirelessly provide the right information for the betterment of the free-range chicken industry here in our country. And with an open mind and right attitude, customers, suppliers, dealers, and everyone involved in the industry can put it on the right track faster.

Thank you everyone!

I would like to thank everyone who came and visited our booth during the Philippine Poultry Show and Gamefowl Congress last September 6-8, 2011 and to all that attended our seminar with Dr. Erwin Cruz last September 9. We will be looking forward seeing you again at the Agrilink 2011 from October 6-8, 2011! :)
