With the holiday season upon us, pork products like ham and lechon will be in-demand commodities.
And given that pork accounts for at least 50 percent of Filipinos’ protein source, hog raising will always be a profitable venture despite the challenges that come with it.
Proper feeding is crucial for hogs, and Hoover Feeds provides high-value results.
Located in San Rafael, Bulacan, Hoover Feeds, which offers cost-effective and high-quality feed products, began as a trading business, supplying raw materials for feeds such as corn, soybean meal, copra, and rice bran.
When the growing demand for feeds boomed in 1999, company founder Hoover Uy was inspired to try his luck on coming up with his own feed product .
The path to perfecting the blend and mixing was no easy feat, but Uy’s hard work paid off when customers who were able to try the samples began noticing its “surprisingly impressive” quality.
Over time, Hoover transitioned to a full-fledged feed manufacturing company.
Hoover Feeds became one of the in-demand feed brands in the north, servicing Aurora, Bataan, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Tarlac, and Zambales, as well as Pampanga and Pangasinan.
With referrals from farmers, hog raisers, and small retailers, Hoover Feeds’ growing popularity also reached areas such as La Union, Benguet, and Nueva Vizcaya.
The success of its top-of-the-line mixes is truly a league of its own and animal nutritionists are its consistent partners to ensure consistently good output.
“Our nutritionists not only provide guidance for the mixes, they also ensure that our customers only receive feed products that will help the animals enhance their health and quality of life,” Uy said.
“Aside from quality, price points are another vital consideration of our customers, that’s why we make sure they’re accessible and with long-term benefits. In essence, our detailed structure also helps us to closely improve our system and machinery, which in turn benefits small businesses who rely on our products,” he added.
The company takes pride in the success of its Hog Grower Farm blend — the ultimate choice of growers because it helps produce pigs that have a high average of daily gain with superior carcass quality. This means buyers can sell their pigs at an earlier target date with satisfying results.
“Gusto ng mga customers kasi yung baboy ‘pag Hoover Feeds, siguradong panalo ang seller dahil mas mabilis sila lumaki at kapag nasunod ang tamang feeding guide, mabebenta ng mas maaga ang mga alagang baboy. Kapag nakatay na at naisabit na sa palengke, hindi nag-iiba yung timbang kaya naman yung seller siguradong babalik balikan ng mga suki nila,” a retailer said.
“What makes the company progress over the past 23 years even more heartening is that customers became loyal and they consider us a huge part of their growth,” Uy said.
Hoover Feeds’ best-selling Pre Starter, Hog Starter, Hog Grower, Hog Finisher, Broodsow & Lactation are certified staple feed products of hog raisers.
The company also manufactures products for quail, chicken, and duck — all of which are being supplied in different parts of Northern and Central Luzon.
