Animals and Fish to be raised as a source of income

Animal raising is one of the sources of income of our fellowmen especially in
Rural areas or in Barrios and Barangays. Chickens, hogs, cattle and goats are
common animals that are being raised here in the Philippines.
Hogs/Swine

Hog meat or pork is one of the most popular meat in

the market that is why it is more profitable raising a hog. It
is primarily raised for meat production and meat by-
products. Meat by-products such as tocino, longganisa,
ham, hotdogs, and many more are very in demand in the
market today. Hogs or swine have different food
requirement according to their age. They are being feed two
to three times a day.

Feeds to be given at a certain age of the swine

Growing mash- This is given to two to six-month-old piglets.
Fattening mash- This is given to ten-month-old piglets until they are ready for
slaughtering.
Alternative food like camote tops, kangkong, papaya leaves may also be given to swine
from time to time.

Goat raising

Goats are easier to raise because they

simply live on grass and leaves of plants like ipil-ipil,
kangkong, camote, and tamarind. Salt makes goats keep
a steady
appetite making them grow faster and
produce more milk.
They are managed for the production of milk, meat and
wool. Goats like other livestock, require the same
nutrients such as protein, carbohydrates, fats, minerals,
vitamins, and water. In the Philippines, goat meat is
relatively more expensive than chicken, pork, or beef.
Goats, like cattle, may be caged in a pen or allowed to https://commons.wikimedi
graze on a large parcel of grassy land. a.org/w/index.php?curid=
9909885
Cattle Raising

Cattle can be raised, sell and earn a good profit

from four to six months. Cow can feed with crushed
copra, grass, ipil-ipil leaves, hay bamboo leaves, camote
tops, rice bran and food mixed with flour and sugar. Beef
is cow’s meat that is a rich source of protein and have a
higher price than the pork.
Breeds for Meat production are Brahman,
Ongole/Nellore, santa Gertrudis, Bali or Banteng. There
are also breeds for Dairy production like Brown swiss,
Holstein Fresian and Sahiwal and Tharparkar for
production of both dairy and meat.

Fish Farming

Fish farming is one of the biggest industries in the

Philippines. Our country is rich in natural resources,
making fish farming is suitable and viable source of
livelihood for many Filipinos. Tilapia and Bangus or Milkfish is
one of the most in demand fish in the market today because of its
availability. Some fish that can also be is catfish or Hito and Carp.

Ways of raising fish

a. Dug out/excavated enclosures – A large land area is
excavated to create a pool of water where fish can be grown.
b. concrete/plastic enclosures-it is usually used for commercial fingerling
production and research development.
c. fish cages- This is an enclosure made of nets and stakes placed in large bodies of
water like the sea, lakes, and rivers to contain and protect fish until they can be
harvested.
