This is a public record of what Philippine poultry actually costs, kept where anybody can check it. Every peso figure names the document it came from and the date it was read, and the link opens on the page carrying the number. A figure that turns out to be wrong is struck through where it stands, with the reason beside it, hindi binubura.

Every link opens on the page carrying the figure, hindi sa homepage ng agency.
A number that quietly disappears is worse than one that was wrong out loud. That is the difference between this site and most guides sa pag-aalaga ng manok: not longer, just checkable.
Four figures a keeper reads before placing a batch: magkano ang sisiw, what the grown broiler pays back, what the same kilo of native pays instead, at ang presyo sa palengke that everybody already knows. The archive holds 48 series in all.

Each line is drawn to its own low and high, so the shapes compare direction and not level. A line that looks flat next to a line that looks steep can still be much the larger figure. Read the levels from the figures, not from the lines.
There is no published count of Philippine chicken raisers as such. The nearest figure is a household count, it is falling, and the bird count is going the other way.
One calendar month in twelve clears its own year average often enough for a sign test to call it: June, in 14 of the 16 full years on record. A June sale is a May placement, and the lean is worth about ₱4.05 per kilo liveweight. The other eleven months carry nothing you can plan on.
A keeper who asks what poultry insurance costs in the Philippines gets an answer about paperwork instead of an answer about money. PCIC's own two-page brochure lists four types of livestock cover, and poultry appears in one of them: the commercial one, where the smallest insurable unit is 5,000 broilers or 1,000 pullets. The free version of that insurance is real, funded to ₱6.5 billion by the FY2026 General Appropriations Act, and its one condition on the beneficiary is an entry in the RSBSA, whose documentary requirement is proof of ownership, tenancy or lease. Three doors, three thresholds, and the paper that opens all three is a registry entry, for which DA's own memorandum prints a barangay certification as the replacement where no land document exists.
The Bureau of Animal Industry has already printed the questions it will ask when birds die in a Philippine backyard, and they are not the questions a keeper expects. Annex 10 § 4 of the 2025 Avian Influenza Protection Program Manual of Procedures, printed on page 120, wants every date, the count, the age group, the total population of that age group, and which house. Annex 20 § 6, printed on page 156, wants a six-week mortality table that runs backwards from the day the first clinical sign appeared. The deaths the investigation most wants are the ones that happened while everything still looked fine, and those are the ones nobody writes down.
The Philippine notifiable list for birds has been thirteen diseases since 11 August 2021, under DA Administrative Circular No. 08, s. 2021 § 4, which amends the 2012 order this site and most others still quote. Two diseases came off that year: fowl cholera and Marek's disease. BAI then ranked what survived, putting avian influenza first of 36 animal diseases in the country and avian mycoplasmosis last. None of that is the trigger. Section 7 item 1.1 reaches an unusual cluster of signs on its own, and the reason to ring today rather than tomorrow is that the reporting clock is 24 hours while the laboratory's is six.
Four Philippine documents publish a feeder allowance: 65 mm a laying hen in PAES 403:2001 § 8.5.1.1, 100 mm on page 3 of DA Regional Field Office II's guide, 150 mm on a chain in DA AO 12 s. 2002 Appendix 1, and 75 mm for a broiler in PAES 402:2001 Table 3. The two Penn State rows the coop pillar carries overlap that span. For 20 hens: one 120 cm double-sided trough, or two pans, plus two drinkers.
Answer grids, hindi form. Hanapin ang hilera ng alaga mo and the answer is already sitting there, and every page lists the coefficient behind each column and where it was read. Where two sources disagree they are printed side by side, walang pinagsamang average.
Indoor floor area, outdoor run, feeders, drinkers, nest holes and perch, for 5 to 100 manok, from the Philippine national standard rather than a US rule of thumb.
Week-by-week target bands from two schedules that disagree, the one Philippine figure that exists, brooder floor area by chick count, and kung kailan dapat patayin ang heater at a given room temperature.
The three dates counted off your own set date, what the machine should be holding at each stage, and the one honest answer to how many chicks a clutch under an inahin actually produces: about half of it.
The volume a flock needs from what it eats and how hot the coop is, the temperature at which that doubles, and the second problem nobody prints: a drum in the sun holds water your birds will not drink.
Kilos, sacks and pesos to harvest day, at the feed conversion Philippine open-sided farms work to rather than the one the breed table promises. Bring your own sack price.
Pesos per kilo liveweight at which a batch stops losing money, from your dealer sack price and the day-old chick price in the archive. A floor, honestly labelled as one.
How heavy a Boholano native bird actually is at day 21, 45, 75, 100 and 120, off the one published Philippine growth curve, and what that is worth at the PSA farmgate. No feed cost, because nobody publishes what a native chicken eats.
What one egg costs you in feed, beside what an egg is currently fetching, and the lay rate at which those two meet. No payback period and no projected profit, because this tool exists so you can find out the answer is no.
Sixteen years of PSA farmgate, month by month, with the placement date counted back from the month you want to sell in. It names the two months the record actually supports and refuses to rank the other ten.
Every series downloads whole, as CSV and as JSON with schema.org Dataset markup, libre at walang sign-up. Retracted rows travel with the file, so a copy you took last month can be checked against the archive today.
Some figures a keeper needs are not published by anybody. Those are listed rather than estimated. The biggest hole is the presyo of a sack of finished feeds: no agency, miller or dealer in the country publishes it, kaya nakalista ito bilang kulang rather than guessed at.
