DA Warns of Higher Pork Prices Despite Sufficiency
According to Balita.org, the DA's regional executive director Larry Nacionales said the price increase is a normal trend that can be felt by consumers up to the first quarter of 2009.
Nacionales said the DA has actually completed its piglet restocking project last month where farmers were given piglets for growing to pre-empt any possible shortage.
Nacionales said live production of swine in the region is huge but processed meats are being supplied outside of the region.
Before typhoon Frank, he said that some 12,000 head of swine were shipped outside of Western Visayas every month. "We have no problems when it comes to supplies of pork products. We have an inter-regional marketing channel where we can access these products in other regions in case of shortage, likewise we provide them with these commodities should they are in need of the same products," he explained.

Economic Crisis Impacting Exports
Limited credit availability, volatile currency exchange rates and global economic uncertainty will create an uphill climb for US beef and pork exports in many foreign markets for the remainder of the year. This was common theme provided by directors of the USMEF international offices at the USMEF Strategic Planning Conference in Tucson, Arizona. Despite these obstacles, however, both products have performed extremely well in 2008, and are well-positioned for continued long-term strength.
"We're extremely pleased with the way beef and pork exports performed in the first eight months of the year," said USMEF President and CEO, Philip Seng. "But the financial crisis that has plagued us in the past six weeks has obviously had a major impact, and so our members are very interested in hearing first-hand reports from each of the key regions."

Beware Winter's Draughts!
With winter fast approaching, Paul Thompson, veterinary consultant to pig-breeding company, ACMC Ltd, advises producers to check the lying patterns of their pigs and, over the seasonal transition period when temperatures drop, to check and adjust ventilation flaps on a daily basis.
While a maximum-minimum thermometer gives an idea of temperature fluctuation, it is the behaviour of the pigs which indicates how they actually feel, regardless of the arbitrary temperature. In addition, cold pigs eat more feed to keep warm, he points out.
