EXPLANATORY NOTES

This semi-annual Industry Performance Report on swine presents

the industry situation in terms of inventory by farm type and age
classification; volume of production; supply and disposition; and
monthly average prices at farmgate, wholesale and retail levels.

The Bureau of Agricultural Statistics (BAS) releases this report

every 15th of September covering January to June data of the current
year as reference period.

The Livestock and Poultry data system of BAS is supported by

two (2) major surveys namely:

1) The Backyard Livestock and Poultry Survey (BLPS) which covers

one (1) replicate of the Palay and Corn Production Survey
(PCPS) consisting of 9,700 sample households in 673 sample
barangays nationwide; and

2) The Commercial Livestock and Poultry Survey (CLPS) which

covers around 1,432 independent farms as of January 2012
updated list. A swine farm is considered commercial when it has
a farm capacity of at least 21 head of adult swine or 10 adults
and 22 young.

Both surveys for swine are simultaneously conducted every

quarter in all provinces.

Another survey that supports the statistical requirements of the

Livestock and Poultry sector is the Survey of Abattoirs and Dressing
Plants (SADP). This is also known as Survey of Animals Slaughtered in
Abattoirs and Dressing Plants. This covers around 1,120 accredited and
non-accredited or Locally Registered Meat Establishments (LRME)
nationwide and is undertaken in coordination with the National Meat
Inspection Service (NMIS).
