POINTERS IN RAISING CHICKEN

1. Select high quality and

healthy chicks.
2. Be careful in transferring or
handling chicks
3.Provide a well-ventilated
housing
4.Provide proper nutrition.
POINTERS IN RAISING CHICKEN

5. Remove at once diseased or dead chicken

from the rest of the chickens to avoid the
spread of diseases.

6. Maintain a clean and sanitary

environment.

7. Always ask the assistance of a veterinarian

or an animal husbandry expert for any
problem while the chicken is growing
RAISING DUCK

Raising duck is a lucrative livestock industry

in the Philippines, mainly because of its
egg. A duck’s most important product, its
incubated egg, popularly known as balut, is
a Filipino favorite that has gained
international notoriety. Balut is peddled
and sold daily all over the country and is
famous for its tasty flavor and nutritious
value.
RAISING DUCK
HOUSING YOUR DUCK
 Build your duck housing in a quiet, cool place and near as
possible to stream or pond. Local materials like bamboo,
nipa and cogon are suitable for duck housing.
 Prepare each duck with atleast 3 to 4 square feet floor
space. Cover the floor with rice hull, corn cobs, peanut
hulls or similar materials to keep it dry and clean and help
prevent spread of pests and diseases. A house of 100
ducks measures 4 x 4 meters high or high enough to let a
man stand inside.
 You may provide a swimming pond 10 ft wide and 20 ft
long for 50 birds. However the pond is not necessary in
duck raising as they lay just as many eggs without it.
 House ducks are grouped according to size or age to
facilitate management and to avoid quarrels which is
common among ducks of different ages. Older ducks tend
to push out younger ones from feeding troughs.
RAISING DUCK
SELECTION AND MATING METHODS

 Select vigorous breeding stock. Select breeders when birds are about
8 weeks old, and again at 4 to 5 months old before they are placed in
breeding pens.
 Eggs for hatching purposes should come from ducks not less than 7
months old to ensure better fertility, hatchability and livability of
offspring.
 Drakes (male ducks) should have the same age as ducks or even a
month older. They should be raised separately from ducks. They are
put together only when ready for mating.
 One drake may be mated to 6 to 10 ducks. Heavier breeds however
should have a closer ratio of males to females than light breeds.
 Pateros ducks start laying when they are 4 to 6 months old. Muscovy
and Pekin ducks start laying at 6 to 7 months old.
RAISING PIG

1 Build a pigpen.
2. Install a sturdy wire fence
around the pen.
3. Include at least a partial
shelter.
4. Consider providing your pig(s)
with a mud wallow.
Why You Should Consider Raising Pigs?

1.Easy, Fun, Cute

2.Clean
3. Hearty
4. Easy to Keep Fenced in
5. Pigs don’t need a Lot of Space
6. Amazing food for your table
7. Land Cultivation
8.Fast
9.Sustainability
 TILAPIA

Among the fishes cultured in backyard cages and ponds, Nile

Tilapia or Tilapia nilotica is widely known in the Philippines. Aside
from being adaptable in the locality, it can be easily bred,
multiplies at a fast rate, and can be naturally fed on ponds.
What is TILAPIA?
•It is a farmed-raised fish.
•The tilapia is the second
most important farmed fish
in the Philippines next to
milkfish.
•Tilapia is an inexpensive,
mild white fish that is easy
to prepare and cook.
RAISING TILAPIA

1. Select a suitable site for the

pond.
2. Prepare the pond properly.
3. Pond fertilization
4. Sacecuring fish fingerlings.
RAISING TILAPIA

5. Figure out what you’re going

to do with all the manure
6. Control the flies
7. Stocking the pond
8. Care and maintenance
9. Harvesting
RAISING TILAPIA
 NILE TILAPIA (OREOCHROMIS NILOTICUS)

•Most cultured freshwater fish in

the Philippines.
•Most common tilapia in the
Philippines.
•Reaches up to 60 cm (24 in) in
length and exceed 5 kg (11 lb)
•Brownish or grayish in color and
the tail is vertically striped.
 MOZAMBIQUE TILAPIA (OREOCHROMIS
MOSSAMBICUS

•it can be grown in salt water, brackish and freshwater

•dull greenish or yellowish color.
 BLUE TILAPIA (OREOCHROMIS AUREUS)

blue grey color.

it is primarily a fresh and a brackish water fish.
it can live in a canals, springs, wet prairies, creeks, rivers and
lakes.
 RED TILAPIA (OREOCHROMIS MOSSAMICUS)

live in saltwater and less off-flavor taste.

the first red tilapia , produced in Taiwan in the late 1960’s.
WHAT IS CARABAO?

Carabao is a swamp
domestic water buffalo
found in the
Philippines and Guam.
Water buffalos were
probably introduced in
the Philippines around
300 to 200 BC.
WHAT IS CARABAO?

The carabao (swamp-type buffalo) is a prized

symbol of a farmer's wealth and is an integral
component of Philippine agriculture.
Distinguished by its natural preference or
marshland. It is primarily utilized for farm work.
WHAT IS CARABAO?

 Main source of draft power for almost all farming

operation.
 Provides animal protein in the form of meat and
milk;
 horns
 manure a potential organic fertilizer for the farm.
CARABAO BREED
1. Carabao breeds commonly found
in the Philippines:
a. Draft type -- Philippine carabao
and Thailand buffalo
b. Dairy type -- Murrah and
Nili/ravi

Housing Requirements

1 . Provide a dry, clean and well-ventilated shed made of nipa, bamboo

and/or wood.
2. Construct a compost or manure pit nearby for disposal of left-over feed
litter and manure..
RAISING CARABAO
Feeds and Feeding Management

1. For light to medium work (4 to 6 hours/day).

2. Before and after work, carabaos should receive plenty of clean drinking water. When
in a heated condition, however, they should be allowed to cool off before watering.

3. Supplementation of urea-molasses-mineral.

4. Clean feed, water and a source of salt should be constantly provided to animals in the
pen/stall area.
RAISING CARABAO
Health Management

1. Immunization against hemorrhagic septicemia and foot and mouth disease should be
administered every six months or at least once a year. Animals should be dewormed
against liver fluke and intestinal worms as a preventive measure et least once a year
using herbal treatments (betel nut & ipil-ipil) or commercial dewormers.

2. Control lice and other external parasites at least 34 times a year. During summer the
common practice by farmers of shaving the body hair of their carabao helps to control
external parasites.

3. Because carabaos have few sweat glands and little hair, the animals should be
regularly bathed to keep the animal cool during summer months (especially draft
animals).

GOAT/s
Goats are very popular among Filipinos
because they require low capital
investment, fit the smallhold farm
condition, and multiply fast. Culturally,
goats are integral to every special
occasion such as birthdays, baptisms,
weddings, and fiestas. Hence, they
command a higher price compared
with other meats in the market.
