Introduction: Passion Turned Profession
In the heart of Barangay Mambiranan, Kalinog, Iloilo, N Farm stands as a symbol of unwavering dedication to Sabong and rooster breeding. The farm reflects a combination of traditional techniques and modern innovations, all aimed at producing top-tier gamefowls for both enthusiasts and bettors.
A Legacy Rooted in Family Tradition
The owner’s passion for roosters and poultry farming began in childhood, where assisting his father with their flock was part of daily life. Despite leaving for work in a sugar refinery, life brought him back to Sabong in 2010 when his father fell ill. Returning to rooster farming not only aided his father’s recovery but also rekindled a family tradition. This marked the beginning of a new era for N Farm, now celebrated for its champion gamefowls admired in the betting circles.
Experimentation for Breeding Excellence
Producing exceptional gamefowls for Sabong tournaments requires relentless experimentation. At N Farm, the focus is on staying competitive and maintaining the quality of the flock:
- Upgrading Breeding Lines: The owner continually refines breeding techniques, addressing issues like aging roosters and changing competitive demands.
- Three-Way Cross Breeding: By blending Stuart, Gilmore, and Allen Roundhead genetics, the farm ensures stronger, more agile gamefowls ready for high-stakes Sabong matches.
- Indoor Breeding Innovation: Controlled environments with artificial lighting guarantee consistent egg production, unaffected by weather conditions.
Balancing Production with Quality
The demand for N Farm’s gamefowls, particularly roosters, surged before the pandemic, pushing the owner to shift his focus to producing superior stags. By combining genetic diversity with precise breeding strategies, the farm ensures each gamefowl meets the high expectations of Sabong enthusiasts and bettors alike.
Modernized Facilities for Gamefowl Excellence
Occupying 6.2 hectares, N Farm features state-of-the-art facilities tailored for rooster breeding:
- Pling Pins and Breeding Pens: Essential for managing gamefowls and ensuring their readiness for Sabong.
- Glass-Enclosed Areas: Designed to protect eggs and chicks during the rainy season, a common challenge in outdoor breeding.
- Probiotic and Nutritional Programs: Daily supplementation strengthens gamefowls for competitions and enhances their overall health.
Overcoming Challenges in Rooster Farming
Despite advancements, challenges persist in poultry farming, especially during the rainy season when egg quality may be compromised. However, the farm’s indoor breeding practices have mitigated many of these risks, ensuring consistent production of gamefowls fit for Sabong competitions.
