Overview

Stop Guessing. Start Engineering Your Profit. Is your cattle farm running on tantsa-tantsa (guesswork)? Are you tired of seeing your hard-earned money eaten up by expensive commercial feeds and unexplained sickness? It's time to stop treating your farm like a lottery ticket and start running it like a factory. Beefing Up the Philippines is not just another agriculture textbook. It is a practical, industrial-grade operations manual designed specifically for the Filipino smallholder farmer. Written by Engr. Jowie Sindol Lopez-a farmer's son from Mindanao who became a Feed Mill Manager for one of Australia's largest feedlots-this book bridges the gap between world-class engineering efficiency and the resourcefulness of the Filipino spirit. In this groundbreaking guide, you will learn how to: Engineer Your Feed: Stop buying expensive sacks. Learn to identify ""Black Gold"" in your own backyard-transforming cheap local by-products like darak (rice bran), sapla (copra meal), and dayami (rice straw) into high-performance rations using the engineer's Pearson Square method. Manage the ""Engine"" Understand the science of the Rumen and how to fuel the billions of microbes that actually grow your cow. Build Profit Firewalls: Implement simple, low-cost biosecurity protocols (like the Tapakan system) that stop disease dead in its tracks. Master the Numbers: Throw away the guesswork. Use the ""Kwaderno System"" to track your Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR), calculate your true ""Floor Price,"" and negotiate with traders like a hardened Negosyante. Scale Up: Transition from a simple fattener to a breeder with industrial insights on genetics, artificial insemination, and the ""Rolling System"" for consistent cash flow. Whether you are an OFW planning your retirement farm, a student of agriculture, or a cooperative member looking to professionalize your operations, this book is your blueprint. It contains the exact formulas, checklists, and management protocols used in industrial feedlots, re-engineered for the Philippine setting. The future of Philippine agriculture isn't about working harder; it's about working smarter. It's time to beef up your knowledge, beef up your system, and beef up the Philippines.
