| Summary, etc. |
The study was conducted to document the existing production management and <br/>marketing practices of native pig raisers in Ilocos Norte. In addition, this study served <br/>as primary benchmark information for researchers and will serve as basis for concerned <br/>agencies in crafting package of technology for native pig raising. Specifically, it <br/>attempted to determine the: socio-demographic profile, farm profile, production <br/>management and marketing practices, and problems encountered in native pig raising. <br/>A total of 85 native pig raisers were served as respondents of the study through <br/>random sampling. Interview schedule was used to gather data through face-to-face <br/>interaction. The data gathered were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Microsoft <br/>Excel was used for tabulation and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Analysis was <br/>utilized to determine the relationship of variables. <br/>Accordingly, native pig raisers are mostly 41-60 years old, finished high school, <br/>and their main source of income is farming. Most of the raisers ventured in native pig <br/>raising for one (1) to five (5) years and do not have any seminars or trainings attended <br/>and had no affiliation to groups. Native pig raisers engaged in farrow-to-finishing, <br/>raised one to five heads, and employed confinement system within an area of 1 to 15m2 <br/>for raising, distanced from another farm is 26-50 meters, and the source of stocks are <br/>neighbors. They adopted outbreeding, natural mating, practiced observing heat signs, <br/>and twice service during estrus. Raisers used local and commercial material in their <br/>housing and did not practice separate housing per stages. The pigs were fed two times <br/>a day with the combination of local and commercial feeds in concrete feeding trough, <br/>and provision of water twice a day. They are not implementing vaccination but they <br/>practice medication, using medicinal plants, cleaning pens, and no management in <br/>disposing feces and foul odor. Raisers’ product is dependent on the production system <br/>they adopted. Weanlings have an average of Php. 1,755.00 per head, finisher have an <br/>average of Php. 6,845.00 per head and least raisers are selling per kilogram. Body size <br/>is the basis of pricing, the venue or place for selling is mostly regular market and <br/>majority do not have marketing strategies. <br/>Various problems in native pig raising such as high cost of feeds, low market <br/>price, parasites and diseases, not having enough capital, having no buyers, the level of <br/>difficulty in finding good stock, and the lack of technical knowledge were encountered. <br/>Hence, it is recommended that the concerned agencies and stakeholders <br/>conceptualize a package of technology native pig raising as a standard for raising. |
