March 24, 2025, marks a historic milestone for the Philippine poultry industry, and I couldn’t be prouder. On this day, Alpha Agventure Farms successfully sold the first batch of Tetra Brown ready-to-lay (RTL) chickens in the country. This event signals a new era in commercial egg production, giving Filipino farmers an alternative to traditional RTL breeds. With its superior laying performance and adaptability to tropical conditions, Tetra Brown is set to reshape the local brown egg industry.
Why I Chose Tetra Brown RTLs
I’ve always been on the lookout for high-performing layer breeds that can help farmers maximize their profitability. The Tetra Brown RTL stood out because of its excellent feed efficiency, strong eggshell quality, and consistent production. With Dekalb Brown becoming obsolete in the Philippines, farmers need a new, reliable option to sustain their egg production. Tetra Brown fills that gap with an optimal production cycle of over 300 eggs per year, offering the kind of performance that egg farmers need to stay competitive.
Beyond productivity, I was drawn to its resilience in the Philippine climate. Heat stress is a major challenge in local poultry farming, but Tetra Brown has shown exceptional adaptability, maintaining stable egg production even in peak summer months. That’s exactly what I wanted for our farmers—birds that thrive under real-world farm conditions.
How Alpha Agventure Farms Supplies Tetra Brown RTLs
Bringing Tetra Brown RTLs to Filipino farmers required a strategic and sustainable approach. Instead of direct importation, Alpha Agventure Farms established partnerships with commercial grower farms through our subfarm program. These subfarms operate under our strict cultural management guidelines, ensuring that every chicken meets our quality standards before reaching the market.
Under this model, our subfarms handle the growing process, providing optimal care and nutrition to the birds. Once the Tetra Brown layers reach the ready-to-lay stage, we purchase them and distribute them to egg farmers nationwide. This setup allows us to maintain a consistent supply of high-quality RTLs while supporting local poultry growers.
By leveraging our expertise in poultry management and strict quality control measures, we ensure that every Tetra Brown RTL we sell is productive, healthy, and well-adapted to Philippine farming conditions. This approach not only streamlines production but also empowers local growers, strengthening the country’s poultry industry as a whole.
March 24, 2025: The Day Everything Changed
Selling the first batch of Tetra Brown RTLs was a moment I’ll never forget. The excitement was palpable as we prepared to distribute the birds to our first customers—commercial egg producers eager to try this new breed. I remember talking to the buyers, hearing their enthusiasm, and feeling reassured that I had made the right decision in introducing Tetra Brown to the Philippine market.
The initial feedback has been fantastic. Farmers reported smooth acclimatization and steady egg production within the first weeks. Some even told me that they were already planning to expand their flocks with more Tetra Brown RTLs. It’s one thing to believe in a breed, but it’s another to see farmers experience its benefits firsthand.
What This Means for Filipino Egg Farmers
For too long, Filipino egg farmers have had limited options when it comes to brown egg layers. With the introduction of Tetra Brown, I believe we’re opening up new possibilities for better profitability and efficiency. Having an alternative to dominant breeds like Dekalb Brown means more choices, more control, and less dependence on a single supplier.
One of the things I love most about Tetra Brown is its efficiency. Lower feed costs per egg mean better margins for farmers, which is exactly what our industry needs. And this is just the beginning—I’m already working on expanding availability to ensure that more egg producers across the country can access this revolutionary layer.
Looking Ahead: The Future of Tetra Brown RTLs in the Philippines
Now that the first batch has been sold, I know that this is just the start of something bigger. I’m committed to ensuring that Tetra Brown continues to thrive in the Philippines. From providing technical guidance to scaling up production, my goal is to help every farmer succeed with this breed.
This journey has reinforced my belief that innovation in poultry farming is not just about bringing in new breeds—it’s about empowering farmers with better choices. Tetra Brown RTLs are here to stay, and I can’t wait to see how they transform the Philippine egg industry in the years to come.
