Year and Course: Bsa III- Animal Science

Topic: TESDA ‘Production of High-Quality Inbred Rice, and Feed Certification, and

Farm Mechanization’

Duration: 120 hours or 15 days

Speaker: Sir. Joel Ray Pagdato and Eric Elmido

TESDA ‘Production of High-Quality Inbred Rice, and Feed Certification, and

Farm Mechanization’ is a TESDA course that provides basic and advanced information

about the production of high-quality inbred rice, feed certification, and machines that is

useful for local farmers. The course focuses on three main topics; proper rice handling

from seed to postharvest, land preparation, and uses of different farm machines.

On the first day of training, we are tasked to introduce ourselves to each other for

us to know and get along well throughout the training. Sir Joel started by informing us of

the duration and how will the training goes he introduce the representative from TESDA

that will facilitate the orientation and his co-educators Sir Eric Elmido and Mam Dana

Lomio, that will guide us to better understand the course then after the orientation that is

held on DA-RIARC we are dismissed for the day.

This day, the lecture starts on “What is the RA 11203 or Rice Tariffication Law?”

and how it is beneficial for the farmers. Republic Act 11203 has created the Rice

Competitiveness Enhancement Fund (Rice Fund) to improve the competitiveness of rice

farmers and increase their income amidst liberalization of the Philippine rice trade policy

including, among other provisions, the lifting of quantitative restriction on rice import

and replacing it with tariff before I think Rice Tarrification Law is bad for the farmers but

upon hearing the provision of the law, I now understand that all those tariffs will be used

to improve and provide assistance like machinery and loans for farmers, especially small

farmers. The lecture continues on Palaycheck, here sir Joel discusses the Palaycheck

system. In this system, every aspect of palay plays a role in how well the crops grow

from seeds, land, planting, nutrient, water, pest, and harvest and he informs us that this

will be the focus of the course then after a small discussion we have a pre-test to test our

knowledge about palay and machinery then we are dismissed that day.

This day sir Joel continue to discuss the Palay Check system he begins with KEY

CHECK 1:” Gumamit ng dekalidad na binhi ng rekomendadong barayti” in this topic I

learn how to choose a variety of seeds by looking at the NSQCS National Seed Quality

Control Services blue tag that ensures the quality of the seeds then after that we are task

to do germination test that we will observe for a week, this activity consumes the entire

week.

The next week, since sir. Joel already discussed Key check 1 he now proceeds to

Key Check 2. “Paghahanda ng Lupa” In key check 2 I learn that we should clean and

organize the canal for good water supply for the field and to avoid rodents from living on

the canal wall and land preparation just like our bodies we need to rest the field for at

least 30 days to give time for the soil to regenerate loss nutrients and we should follow

rules on land prep, on day 1 first plowing then after 7 days is first harrowing and after 7

days second harrowing then after 7 days we can now use the land for rice planting After

the discussion we have an activity where sir Joel allows us to drive a tractor and do the

plowing this activity was done for a week.

This week, Key check 3 is discussed by sir Eric Elmido , KEY CHECK 3:

“Nagtanim nang sabayan matapos pagpahingahin ang lupa” in this topic I learned that on

a farm where land is owned by many farmers there should be an agreement that they

should simultaneously plant crops in the area, it is to ensure that the water consumption is

even for all and the emergence of pest is controlled.

Key Check 4 was discussed by sir Eric Elmido KEY CHECK 4: Sapat na

malulusog na punla” In this topic, I learned that it is important to have healthy seeds

because the seed is the start of planting so considering key check 1 since we already have

a good and certified seed we can ensure good germination that will result to high yield.

This day, Sir Eric and sir Joel discuss KEY CHECK 5: “Sapat na sustansiya sa

panahon ng pagsusuwi hanggang paglilihi at pamumulaklak” In this topic, I learned that

nutrients from fertilizer have timed it shouldn’t be administered just because you feel to

do so because it will lead to low yield if the nutrient from fertilizer is too much. I also

learn how to use a leaf color chart to know if the nitrogen level is enough for the plant

and sir Joel teach us how to compute the right amount of fertilizer for our crops.

Continue to Key check 6 “ PAMAMAHALA NG TUBIG” in this topic I learned

that water is vital for rice to grow and be productive because water is what makes the

seeds develop and grow not just nutrients and water is the medium for nutrients so having

enough water for the ricefield should always be monitored. After discussing the water sir

Joel proceeded to discuss Key Check 7 PAMAMAHALA NG PESTE in this topic I

learned that prevention is better than using commercial pesticides to avoid pests because

when we use pesticides were not only kill the insect but also the surrounding Example of

prevention is by using a variety that is sturdy and can withstand insect and disease and

good water and nutrient management.

The next week, after sir Joel discussed key check 7 about pests and disease sir

Joel required us to do AESA – Agro-Ecosystem Analysis to further enhance our ability to

identify the pest and beneficial pests and to know the diseases that rice possesses. After

four weeks of gathering data for AESA, our group created an AESA analysis and we

found out that there is a presence of rice bug and yellowing of leaves of palay, we come

up with a conclusion that we don’t take action on rice bug because the presence is

minimal and we provide a solution that the field should cut water in half since the

weather is rainy and water is enough even with little irrigation.

Next week, they discussed the Key Check 8 PAG-AANI and 9 PAGSISINOP NG

ANI where sir Joel teach us to drive a combined harvester and demo the use of a thresher

for us to know how these machines work. Then after that, he gives us lecture on different

farm machine like a tractor, combine harvester, trans planter, and hand tractor.

In our last week of training, we have a recap of all the topics we have discussed during

the training and what did we learn from this and how will we apply this new learning to

ourselves After that recap, In the next day we have an exam to test if we are competent

with the knowledge we gain from the training.

Recommendation/ Suggestion

During the training, the most fun part is the driving so I like to recommend to

have

Topic: TESDA “Organic Agriculture Production” NCII

Duration: 29 days

Speaker: Mam. Levy Eguiron and Mam Mary Joy Anyayahan

TESDA “Organic Agriculture Production” NCII is a TESDA course that is focused

on Organic Farming. Organic Agriculture is a production system that sustains the health

of soils, ecosystems, and people. It relies on ecological processes, biodiversity and cycles

adapted to local conditions, rather than the use of inputs with adverse effects. Organic

Agriculture Production NCII of TESDA has four core competencies, raising organic

chicken, producing organic vegetables, and Producing organic concoctions and extracts it

also has two electives that focus on raising organic hogs and small organic ruminants.

On the first day of our training on Organic Agriculture Production NCII Mam Levy

provide us orientation and a little insight about organic agriculture production she also

introduces Mam Mary Joy her assistant teacher for the course then a TESDA

representative give brief information on the course on where can we use the course and

how will the course help us on finding work related to agriculture. After the orientation

Mam levy started to ask some questions about what we are thinking about the course then

she dismissed us for the day.

The next day, Mam Mary Joy start the class by introducing herself again to the

class then we follow and introduced ourselves to know each other after the introduction

we proceed on discussing the common competencies of the course first is the safety

measures in farm operations here she discussed the use of PPE and tool cleaning next is

the use of the appropriate farm tools for the work and last is the record-keeping where I

learn its importance for a farm to proper monitoring and addressing the problem. After

discussing the common competencies, we have a quiz then after that, she dismissed us for

the day.

On the third day, we have a quick recap of the common competencies, then after

that Mam Joy started the discussion by providing us with the PNS for organic agriculture

where we learn that pursuing and adapting organic agriculture is no easy task and that

there is time for conversion of land that depends on how long it been exposed to

commercial pesticides and the registration where there is a license that is needed like the

Negros Island Certification "NICERT". Then she asks us to familiarize ourselves with

common abbreviations like BAFS and BPI. We discussed PNS for four days meeting.

The next week, after discussing the PNS for Organic Agriculture Mam Levy starts

the lesson by discussing the first competency of the course which is raising organic

chicken. In this topic, she provided us a module that has all the information about rearing

organic chicken here I learn that broiler is not part of organic and it cannot be part of

organic agriculture because based on the explanation of mam levy its DNA and body is a

product of human intervention to produce meaty chicken that can be reared for a short

time. I also learned that organic chicken must be reared open and must be fed by natural

feeds like corn. She also discussed that rearing organic chicken is no easy task because it

is more prone to diseases, unlike caged chicken that's why biosecurity is always set up to

ensure that no disease can compromise the flock. She also Identifies some native

chickens that can be used for organic farming in the Philippines like the Paraokan and

Banaba. She discussed organic chicken for a week.

In the next week after Mam levy discussed the Organic Chicken we proceed to the

next core competency which is the production of organic vegetables, here we learn to

make vermicompost for our plot that will be used for planting we gather cow dung, fresh

kakawate leaves, dried coconut husk and worms “ASF African Nightcrawlers” for the

production of vermicompost then after we gather all the materials for a week, we started

grinding the husk and pulverize the cow dung. After that we clean the vermi area and

replace the soil then we put the cow dung first then green leaves then last is the coconut

husk then we repeat the process for two more then we add water to provide moisture then

we wait fifteen days for the decomposition to take place before we put the ASF.

Since we wait for the vermicompost to be ready we proceed on discussing the

organic fertilizer, here I learn how to make compost just like vermicompost the order of

putting the substrate is the same only with no worm involve but bacteria and we do the

anaerobic type of composting where we deprive air flow on the compost and let the

anaerobic bacteria do the decomposition. We waited for another 15 days for the compost

to be ready. After that, we also learn to prepare carbonized rice hull by using a manual

carbonizer made of recycled car tire mugs and metal tubes.

The next week, we are group and tasked to discuss the making of organic

concoctions, on the first day we learn how to make FFJ or Fermented Fruit Juice we used

Papaya, pumpkin, and banana we started by cutting papaya, pumpkin, and banana to one-

inch size then we put it in a container where we mix molasses in 1:1 ratio. The next day

we learn how to make FPJ we used ipil-ipil leaves, camote shoots, and kangkong leaves

just like the FFJ we mix it in a container but a 1:1/2 ratio of molasses, and then we waited

7 days for the fermentation to take place. On the other day, we learn how to make IMO

Indigenous Microorganisms, we started by cooking rice then letting it cool for a while

then we put it in a bamboo then buried it under a tree for 3 days to let it have mold but

unfortunately when we harvest it produces black mold meaning it is contaminated so we

don’t continue producing it. The next day we learn how to make Fish Amino Acid we use

fish and molasses in a 1:1 ratio just like FFJ and FPJ we also mix it in a container and let

it ferment for 15 days. On the next day, we are tasked to bring eggshells because we are

going to make Calphos Calcium phosphate we started by putting the cooked peel of

eggshells in a container and putting vinegar in a 1:10 ratio or 1kg of eggshells to 5.5 liters

of vinegar then we ferment it for 20 days. On the next day, we learn how to make Labs

Lactic Acid Bacteria serum here we started by having rice wash cover it and after 7 days

we get 100 ml of the rice wash then we add 1 liter of milk and ferment it for 7 days then

after 7 days, we add molasses to prolong its shelf life in a 1:1 ratio.

The Next week our compost is ready for harvest we now build our garden starting

by making a plot in a measurement of 1x ½ 1 meter long and ½ meter wide then we put

our compost on the top of the plot since we already have our cucumber and chili pepper

we transplanted this crop into the plot then after a day we made a trelease made of

bamboo and rope for the cucumber.

After a week we harvested the FFJ, FPJ, IMO, LABS, and Calphos and place them

in a container and we add labels to better identify the concoction then after we harvest we

have a discussion about the electives of the course which is the Organic hogs, Mam Joy

discussed organic hogs breed and how we will take care this animal. Just like any other

animals in Organic Agriculture, we can’t rear this in a closed environment we should rear

it just like the other animals in their natural state in the environment meaning we need it

to roam in a large area. Then after she discussed all the core competencies the remaining

day we have a exam and institutional to test and ready us on the upcoming competency

test held by TESDA.

Year and Course: Bsa III- Animal Science

Topic: Animal Production Poultry Production NCII

Duration: 29 days

Speaker: Doc. Ramil Atienza and Sir Joenifer Santisteban

Animal Production Poultry Production NCII is a TESDA course that provides

basic and advanced knowledge about Poultry. Poultry is domesticated birds kept by

humans for their eggs, their meat, or their feathers. Poultry production has an important

role to play in feeding the world and, to maximize the benefits, it should be accompanied

by improvements to local health services and holistic programs that highlight the links

between poultry production, human health and nutrition, and sustainable ecosystem

services. This is the reason why poultry is an important commodity for the economy and

by providing training and knowledge through extension we can ensure that we can

develop and utilize these precious animals.

On the first day of Poultry Production NCII, Mam Joy commences an orientation

together with the TESDA staff and elaborates some important reminders about the course

then after that she proceeds to introduce our instructor for the course, Dr. Ramil Atienza.

After that, she dismissed the orientation for the day.

           On the next day, the first day of our class since sir Ramil is not available for that

day his assistant instructor sir Joenifer take-charge of the first lesson which is about

introduction to poultry production, and mentioned the core competencies of the course

this are maintain poultry house, brood and grow chicks, perform pre-lay and lay activities

and trim beak after a quick discussion about the meaning of poultry production he

provides a quick discussion on core competencies then dismissed us for the day.

           On the second day, sir Joenifer provides a module about maintaining poultry

houses a core competency of the course then proceed on discussing the content of the

module. After that, we are tasked to conceptualize a housing design for poultry and draw

it on paper then in the afternoon we clean the poultry area we conduct this activity for a

week. In this module, I learned the importance of maintaining a poultry house. We learn

to build and conceptualize housing design that is versatile to different seasons and we

understand the importance of cleanliness and setting up biosecurity to avoid the spread of

pathogens causing the disease to the flock.

           After a week of discussing the first core competency, we are now ready for the

next competency of the course which is the brood and grows chicks. On the first day

since we don’t have chicks to be used for the competency, we discuss types of poultry

raised and chicken breeds. Then sir Joenifer provides hand-outs about types of chicken

breeds and strains and tasks us to familiarize ourselves with those. On the second day of

discussion the school already prepared the chicks for the discussion, we move to the

poultry area and began inspecting the chicks for defects and sorting the chicks according

to their weight, the purpose of sorting is to decrease the mortality rate and give time for

the chicks to recover from the travel. On the next day, we prepare a brooding area we

used rice hull for bedding and two, twenty-five watts bulbs for the heat source, two

feeders, and a waterer then we let the bulb on for 1 hour to warm up the bedding so the

chicks can adapt more efficiently to the new environment then after that, we transfer the

chicks in the brooder chicks where they will spend 15 days before transferring to the

grower cage. Since we build the grower cage this activity goes for a week. In this

activity, we learn to make a brooding cage, identify good and healthy chicks, and

familiarization on different chicken breeds and strains.

           After a week of doing core competency two, we now start the discussion on core

competency number three perform pre-lay and lay activities. The discussion started with

Sir. Joenifer by discussing the “Do’s and Don’t’s “on layer house when collecting eggs.

Then he proceeds on how to handle eggs to avoid staling of eggs and then continues to

discuss the weight of the egg and its size classification based on weight. After all the

discussion we now proceed on collecting eggs. I learned in this topic that when collecting

eggs we should not make loud noises as it may affect the chicken because the layer is

sensitive to noises then to avoid staling eggs we need to clean thoroughly the eggs and

remove all the moist and dirt on its surface because the surface of eggs has pores that

water and dirt can enter if remain un-cleaned that will result to staling. The classification

of eggs is based on sizes: Jumbo 70g, XL 65g, L 60g, M 55g, S 50, Pullet 45g, and

Peewee 40g> this weight classification is based on Philippine National Standard (PNS).

           After the third core competency, we now proceed to the fourth competency which

is Trimbeak, Sir Joenifer discuss the importance of trimbeaking to broilers and he noted

that it is not required to trim beak native and layer hens and proper handling of

trimbeaker and right position of the beak, the temperature adjustment and speed of the

machine. After discussing the trimbeak he proceeds to discuss the different types of

injection administration for chicken then we are dismissed for the day. The next day sir

Joenifer performs the trimbeaking and injection that we are also going to conduct in the

afternoon this activity goes on for a week. In this topic, I learned that trimbeak is

important to avoid chicken-wasting foods and to avoid fighting chickens. Also, I learned

how to administer Intra-Muscular injections. 

Recommendation/ Suggestion

Since we discuss many ways of injection administration, I want to suggest having

more of this topic because I feel that it is not sufficient to only know one type of vaccine

administration since we perform Intra-Muscular injections I want also to learn how to

perform the other type of injection administration.
