To the panelists, who are members of the Faculty of

technical suggestions for the betterment of the study. Also,

to other teachers who build up their students’ abilities to

continue their chosen Agriculture course and giving them

confidence to accomplish the tasks it entails. They have

 vii

MARLYN A. LLEVA and GISELLE L. MARMOL, Bachelor of

Agricultural Technology. Sorsogon State University Castilla
Campus Mayon, Castilla, Sorsogon. AUGUST, 2022. HOME-BASED
PRACTICUM ON BROILER AND PETCHAY PRODUCTION AT BURABOD,
CASTILLA, SORSOGON.

Adviser: Maribel A. Nolla

The Practicum on broiler and petchay production was

conducted at Burabod, Castilla, Sorsogon from June to August

with the total of 450 hours. It aims to enhance students’

skills on field activities and actual farm- handling

strategies.

The activities on broiler production include: selection

of stocks, construction of housing, and growing management.

Thirty heads were raised for about 35 days.

In crop production, the activities include: land

preparation, application of organic manure, management of

rearing, and marketing the produce before training is

completed.

All costs in the broiler production were recovered and

the students earned a profit. Meanwhile, in petchay

production, the students experienced a loss.

This training helped in technical skills and actual

work in preparation for the students’ future. The

experiences they have gained from this immersion has been

helpful for them in all aspects of their professional work.

It should be remembered that before starting the

activity, there must be a sufficient background information

and financial support to complete the work successfully.
