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! :)

A glimpse of the Past: Poultry Show 2010

How time really flies by! This was our exhibit at the 2010 Poultry Show at the same venue about a year ago. We had a live chicken display of ready-to-harvest chickens at the center of the Bounty Fresh Group of Companies booth and a brooder cage for showcasing Bounty Fresh free-range day-old chicks that we sold to interested customers.

Free-range chicken farming is relatively still in it's infancy stage here in our country. Most people are still accustomed to the more common industrial white broilers or what we fondly call "45-days" chicken and our native chicken. Only a handful of us knew about hybrid meat-type chickens that are fast growing but can be reared the same as our native chicken. That is why it is important for us to display live chickens during exhibits so that people will get an idea what Bounty Fresh Free-range chicken looks like and increase awareness about free-range chicken farming in our country. Our live chicken displays always attract a lot of curious faces and kids that drag their parents to show them the chickens. Bounty Fresh Free-range chicken is sort of a cross between a white industrial broiler and a native chicken but entirely a different strain from the two. It is a strain specifically bred for free-range production that combines the fast-growing characteristic of the white industrial broilers and the hardiness and meat taste of native chickens. We import our parent stocks regularly so that we can continuously produce high quality free-range day-old chicks for the market.

This year, we will be showcasing our live chickens again as well as selling Bounty Fresh free-range day-old chicks at the exhibit but with a different setting. So please do drop by at our booth during The Philippine Poultry Show and Gamefowl Congress 2011! see you there!

Thank you and see you there!

They Like Their Greens!

These red-brown chickens have a knack for their greens! These three-week old chicks are enjoying their supplement of chopped highland pechay which they are aggressively picking the moment the tray was left on the flooring. Free-range chicken strains (the colored ones) retained their natural ability to forage for food found in their ranging area and are more adapted to free-range conditions compared to industrial white broilers. With no history of being given greens until this picture was taken, they did a pretty good job of liking their veggies! (a lot of parents wish their children can easily like veggies like these chicks do) Free-range chickens are like lawn mowers when they are given access to areas with vegetation. As long as the leaves, bark, roots, fruits, and flowers fancy their taste buds (yes, they do have taste buds), these will be going down their throats! Supplementing your free-range chicken's diet with vegetation is essential for  a healthier and tastier meat!
