Project Proposal

I. Project Title: Swine Raising in

II. 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
III. 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 today’s
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
breeding purpose
IV. Project Components/Activities
 Breeding management
 Care and management
 Feeding management
 Health management
 Other routine management practices
V. Input Requirement
A. Backyard Operation
1. Investment
a. A livable hog house with concrete floor
b. Purchase of seed stock or foundation anima
2. Operating expenses
a. Feeds
b. Veterinary medicines
c. Vaccines
d. Feed supplement

Returns sales of swine

Sales of swine manure to vegetable grower

VI. Implementation Schedule

May-January 2015
Gantt Chart
VII. 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

XI. 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
