Project Title: Swine Raising in

Background/Rationale
Hog rising is a very popular enterprise in the Philippines such
that there is a proliferation of backyard producers, which
dominates the swine industry and a healthy viable commercial

sector.
Despite of crises facing the swine industry, still many people are
venturing in this enterprise. This manual hopes to bring
appropriate technology to the interested farmers and would be
producers in order that they may realize profitable prod, and

improve their quality of life

Project Objective/Purpose
In general, the study aimed to find out the effects of swine

industry in our community/society.

To determine and to identify their skills, knowledge for todays
work, their use of the current technology ad their planning for

perceived future
This project was benefited to agriculture farmers
This project has a thrust to have a swine to provide additional
income for the sale of meat, live animals either for slaughter or

Implementation Schedule
May-January 2015
Gantt Chart
Expected Outputs and Results
High production cost inputs
Improved their quality of life
Dominates the swine industry and healthy viable commercial

sector
Great experience
Increases of meat
Job generation, production and profitability
VIII. Project Beneficiaries
Agriculturist/swine raisers
Someone which are willing to engaged swine production
IX. Implementation Arrangement (Management/Strategy)
Housing
For small or backyard operations cheap and locally available

materials maybe used such as bamboo and nipa

Facilities and equipment
Provide the pig house with the proper equipment such as
feeders and drinking trough
Feeders and water trough are best made of concrete although
other materials maybe used

Heat lamps or electric brooders are needed for survival of

newborn pigs
Breeding management
Most gilts of the improved breeds reach the age of puberty at
about six to eight months of age but they should not be bored
until they are eight months of age or are weighing of 90 to 100

kg.
Care and management of growing-finishing pigs
Management requirements are less demanding nevertheless
they must be provided with ample protection against rest and

diseases and fed in accordance with their requirements

Other routine management practices
In backyard operations, identification of pigs is done through

outstanding marks on the haircoat

Feeding management
The ration of the pigs should be changed at different stages of
growth but the shift from one ration to another should be done
gradually in order not to upset the normal feeding behavior of
the pigs
Cassava, camote corn and corn by products and discards from
slaughter houses which are abundant in some parts of the
country maybe used provided they are properly cooked and
dried
Provide clean drinking water at all times

Logical Framework
Marketing
Do not overfeed hogs before transport to avoid suffocation or

something
Do not overload nor underload the truck
Marketing, is the last job done on growing finishing pigs
Marketable hogs may sold to middle men who usually act
as buying or selling agent, direct to meat processors without the
intervention of the middleman or in auction markets where
animals are sold to the buyers who offers the highest acceptable
price per kilo live-weight or per head
o Technical in the modern technology
o Economics financial aspect prize of meat, price of
weanlings, price of feeds
o Health management
Quarantine or isolate animals recently trough from other
sources
Common disease and parasites
Hog cholera or swine fever
Pig get contaminated through direct contact or by eating
uncooked slogs or kitchen scraps containing the virus.

Sign

Fever loss of appetite

Increased thirst chills, and sometimes vomiting
Constipation later followed by diarrhea
Death ensures 4-7 days after onset of sign

Recommendation
Prevention and control

Vaccine all pig against the disease using a reliable vaccine weanling at

one week before or after weanings sows and boars every six months
Avoid giving uncooked slogs or kitchen scraps to pigs which are common
sources of infections
