INTRODUCTION
Regional Demo Center for Integrated Organic Farming and Eco Agri-
Tourism
To solve the old-age problem of water scarcity in the area the
Provincial Government thru then Gov. Savellano constructed two water
impounding projects with the stream beside the farm and revive deep walls.
Several water- based projects which are doable and affordable are now being
supplied by the water reservoirs.
These projects plus the renovated water reservoir put up but never
used by Phil-Cotton are expected to help the water problem of Demo Farm.
This qualifies it as an Economic Agricultural Tourism (EAT) Zone, showcasing
agri-technologies such as organic agriculture and bio-intensive gardening
(BIG).
This place is used to be 16.5-hectare experimental station of the
Philippine Cotton Development Authority. For about 25 years, this site was
dormant, a barren waste-land. Driven by a burning desire to help uplift the
quality of life of his constituents in the province, notably farmers, and blaze
the trail for his people to follow then Gov. Deogracias Victor “DV” Savellano
conceptualized the idea of putting up this worthy venture. This agricultural
project is now known as BArang-ay Demo Farm which the Gov. DV envisions
to help solve food scarcity and minimize poverty in the province.
Upgrading the livestock and raising of crops thru organic farming are
now the flagship agricultural programs of the province. The name of this was
derived from Barangay Agriculture and the Ilocos word “rang- ay” which
means progress of the barangay. BArang-ay Demo farm was officially
launched on December 17,2007.
ONE-STOP-SHOP Demo Farm Regional Development Council
Resolution No.48, S. 2008 strongly support the demo center as a Regional
Demo Center for integrated Organic Farming and Agri-Tourism. Other Agri-
Fishery agencies, state colleges and universities as well as local government
units are enjoined to extend their technical and research assistance at the
farm. Thus, DA, CODA, PhilRice, NTA and other agencies have established
their pilot projects that showcase best practices and appropriate technologies.
The NIA is improving the irrigation facilities likewise, FITS center courtesy of
PCARD through ILARDEC, is now operational. The Ilocos Sur Community
College is now offering TESDA agri-related courses in the demo farm.

DEMO FARM MISSION;

ISCC Demo farm will be a community centered school where faculty
and students learn with the people in the field of Agriculture, Fisheries and
Agro-forestry.
DEMO FARM VISION;
Ilocos Sur Community College Demo farm trains Filipinos to become
nation builders in the fields of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Agro-forestry.

 ANIMAL FARM

NATIVE PIGS

“Lets’s go back to the basics”, Former Vice Gov. DV Savellano usually

tells to pig raisers and meat consumers as he proudly shows the native pigs

at the Demo (Figure 1). “Tabtabukol”, sweet sorghum and corn as the main

feed.

Figure 1. The food (wet feeds) provided by the student trainee were being
consumed by the pigs. Demo farm San Juan, April 2023.

Regular cleaning of pig cages is crucial for maintaining a healthy living

environment for the pigs, reducing the risk of diseases and infections,

improving pig behavior and performance, and promoting sustainable pig

farming practices (Figure 2). A clean and well-maintained environment can

help to reduce stress, promote good behavior, and improve feed intake,

weight gain, and overall productivity, while also preventing environmental

pollution by avoiding the buildup of waste materials. Acero, R. E. (2018).

Juan, April 2023.

Vitamin B complex is a group of vitamins that are essential for the

health and growth of pigs. Administering Vitamin B complex to pigs can help

prevent deficiency-related health issues such as anemia, poor growth, and

nervous system disorders (Figure 3). The dosage of Vitamin B complex

required for injection may vary based on the age, weight, and health condition

of the pigs. It is important to work with a veterinarian to determine the

appropriate dosage and administration method for injecting Vitamin B

complex. The injection site should be clean and disinfected before

administering the injection to prevent infection.

 Careful handling and storage of Vitamin B complex is necessary to

prevent spoilage and ensure its effectiveness. It is important to follow proper

safety guidelines when injecting pigs with Vitamin B complex to prevent injury

to both the pigs and the handler. Regular monitoring of the pigs' health and

growth can help determine if the Vitamin B complex injection is effective in

preventing deficiency-related health issues. It is important to consider other

factors such as diet, environment, and management practices to ensure

overall health and well-being of the pigs.

SHEEP BREEDS
Includes, St. Croix, Blackbelly and Marino Crosses. For, an initial

population of fifteen (15) heads it has increased into fifty-four (54) heads.

Sheep are hardy animals as well as resistant to worms which enable them to

survive longer compared to goats.

Feeding sheep is crucial for their growth, health, and overall well-

being. Providing a balanced diet that meets their nutritional needs can help to

ensure that they develop properly and maintain good health. This can include

providing a mix of roughages such as hay and pasture, as well as

concentrates like grains and supplements.

Proper nutrition is particularly important for pregnant and lactating

ewes, as well as young lambs. Pregnant and lactating ewes require additional

nutrients to support the growth and development of their offspring, while

young lambs require a diet rich in protein and energy for growth. National

Research Council (NRC). 2007. Nutrient requirements of small ruminants:

Sheep, goats, cervids, and New World camelids. Washington, D.C.: The

National Academies Press.

Feeding sheep appropriately can also help to prevent health problems

such as nutritional deficiencies, metabolic disorders, and digestive issues

(Figure 4). It can also improve their resistance to diseases and parasites,

which can result in reduced veterinary costs and improved profitability for

farmers.

Figure 4. The student trainees were feeding the sheep. Demo farm San Juan.

CROSSBRED GOATS
(Anglo-Nubian, Boer) – upgrading of our native goats is one of the

program thrusts of the farm.

Goats require a well-balanced and nutritious diet to ensure optimal

growth, health, and productivity. Feeding goats can promote growth and

weight gain, which is important for meat and milk production, as well as

improve the quality and quantity of milk produced by dairy goats (Figure 5).

Additionally, a proper diet can help prevent nutritional deficiencies and health

problems, while also promoting healthy digestion and immune function.

Feeding goats can also be a useful tool in managing pasture and rangeland
ecosystems by controlling invasive plants and reducing fire hazards. Overall,

providing goats with a nutritious diet is essential for their overall well-being

and productivity, as well as promoting sustainable land management

practices. Nutrient requirements of small ruminants: Sheep, goats, cervids,

and New World camelids. Washington, D.C.: The National Academies Press.

Figure 5. The student trainee feeding the goat. Demo farm, San Juan.

Cleaning of animal sheds can be easily done with the use of tap water,

proper lifting and disposing of all dung and used straw bedding, providing

drainage, to the animal house for complete removal of liquid waste and urine.

The daily removal of feed and fodder left over in the pen, reduces the

fly nuisance. (Figure 6) Tylerzyton et. al

Figure 6. The student trainee cleaning the goat shed. Demo farm, San Juan.

POULTRY
- includes chicken (Native, Rhode Island Red, Black aAustralorp, Barred

Plymouth Rock), ducks and geese.

Poultry species are important for rural economies in developing and

underdeveloped countries. They provide a subsidiary income for the rural

poor and marginalized section of the people and also provide nutritious egg

and meat for their own consumption.

 Poultry farming is a source of additional income for households and

can be used for meat, barter, or sale. They also provide livelihood security to

the family and can be used to employ youth and women in poultry farming.

Feeding and drug administering to poultry with vitamin B complex is important

for their health and productivity (Figure 7&8). Vitamin B complex is a water-

soluble vitamin that must be part of the bird's daily diet since it is not stored in

the body. Vitamin B complex contributes to a healthy immune system,

increases energy levels, and improves weight gain and feed intake in growing

poultry. Caroline Vander Straeten On October 4, 2011.

CATTLE PROJECT
Cost of fattening is greatly reduced because the main ingredients are

abundantly available in Ilocos Sur. Consequently, after six (6) months,

fattened cattle are then disposed and another batch cycle will be purchased.

Drug administering with ivermectin and vitamin ADE80 to cattle are

important for their health and productivity (Figure 9, 10, & 11). Ivermectin can

be used to kill ecto and endo parasites. Sewell Department of Animal

Sciences, University of Missouri - Vitamin needs of beef cattle can be

confined largely to A, D and E.

Complex to the Albino Carabao. Demo farm San Juan.

RABBIT PRODUCTION
Rabbit production is a lucrative venture practiced around the world for

various purposes such as meat, laboratory use, breeding stock, pets, and

show. Raising rabbits for meat is important during the pandemic, especially
due to meat shortages. Rabbits are one of the most sustainable meat species

to raise, and they have a lower environmental footprint.

Rabbit meat is high in protein, economical to raise, and has a quick

turnaround with low overhead and start-up costs.

Mississippians raise meat rabbits in their backyard for consumption,

and meat sales came in higher throughout the pandemic.

Rabbit farming for meat consumption is mainly practiced in rural areas

and exerts less pressure on the environment.

Raising rabbits for meat has gained popularity with Americans and the

international community.

Figure 12. The student trainee feeding the rabbits. Demo farm San Juan.
FISHERIES
Tilapia and catfish are both types of fish. Catfish are known for having

a flavor that is distinctly fishy, whereas tilapia has a milder taste. Catfish has a

stronger, earthy flavor and is higher in omega-3 fatty acids, while tilapia has a

milder taste and is lower in fat and calories. Both fish can be used in various

dishes and are popular in many cuisines. Tilapia has a mild and sweet flavor,

and the texture of catfish is rather firm compared to other white flesh fishes.

Catfish have small eyes and a mouth that is suited to sucking, while tilapia

has a deep body with a long dorsal fin and proportional features, study

Robert C. Summerfelt and Paul R. Turner

Raising tilapia and catfish is important because they are both delicious,

healthy, and easy to prepare fish species that are popular worldwide.

Tilapia is a mild-flavored white fish that is high in protein and relatively low in

fat, making it a popular choice for farming.

Tilapia grow quickly and are adaptable, making them a popular choice

for farming in over 120 countries and territories around the world. Catfish, on

the other hand, have a stronger, earthy flavor and are higher in omega-3 fatty

acids, which are important for heart health. One of the benefits of catfish

farming is that the fish can be harvested at a relatively young age, allowing for

a shorter growing period and faster turnaround. Both fish species are reliable

to farm, grow rapidly, and breed abundantly. (Figure 11)

Figure 11. The student trainee feeding the fishes. Demo farm San Juan.

COMPOSTING
Composting is a natural process that transforms organic waste into a

nutrient-rich soil amendment. Hay, manure, leaves, straw, molasses, and

water are common materials used in composting. These materials are layered

and mixed together to create a balanced compost pile that provides the
necessary carbon and nitrogen for microorganisms to break down the organic

matter.

Hay and straw are sources of carbon, phosphorus and potassium while

manure provides nitrogen. Leaves also contribute to carbon and provide

minerals and trace elements. Molasses and water are added to the compost

pile to help regulate moisture levels and provide essential minerals and

carbohydrates for microorganisms.

Composting with these materials has several benefits. Firstly, it diverts

organic waste from landfills, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and

environmental pollution. Secondly, it produces a valuable soil amendment that

can improve soil fertility, water retention, and structure. This can enhance

plant growth and productivity, and reduce the need for synthetic fertilizers.

Composting also helps to promote biodiversity by creating a habitat for

beneficial microorganisms, insects, and other soil organisms. Additionally, it is

a cost-effective and sustainable way to manage organic waste and promote

circular economy practices.

Composting with hay, manure, leaves, molasses and water is a natural

and sustainable way to recycle organic waste into a valuable soil amendment

that benefits plants, soil and the environment.

Figure 12. The student trainee is composting using corn and rice straw,
molasses, water and animal manure. Demo farm San Juan.

HERBAL PLANTS
Herbal plants like malunggay, guava, alugbati, dalaw bubon, sabila,

camias, Amarillo, santol, Sampaloc and other is the answer to common

ailments like fever, headache, respiratory diseases, wounds and even skin

disease (Figure 13).

 These plants contain bioactive compounds that have therapeutic

effects on the body, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial,

and analgesic properties.

For example, malunggay leaves are rich in nutrients and have been

traditionally used to treat fever, headaches, and respiratory diseases. Guava

leaves are known for their antimicrobial properties and have been used to

treat wounds and prevent infection. Sabila, also known as aloe vera, has anti-

inflammatory and wound-healing properties and is commonly used to treat

skin conditions.

These herbal plants offer a natural and cost-effective alternative to

pharmaceutical drugs and can be easily grown in home gardens or in the

wild. However, it is important to note that while herbal plants can be beneficial

for certain health conditions, they should not replace medical treatment

prescribed by healthcare professionals. An overview of the regulation of

complementary medicines in Australia, 2013, Therapeutic Goods

Administration, Department of Health, Australian Government.

OTHER ACTIVITIES
GRAFTING
Grafting is a horticultural technique that involves joining two different

plant parts (the rootstock and scion) to create a new plant. The rootstock

provides the root system for the plant, while the scion provides the above-

ground portion, including the branches, leaves, and fruit. The two plant parts

are joined in such a way that they grow together and function as a single

plant.

Grafting is commonly used in agriculture and horticulture for several

reasons. One of the primary benefits of grafting is the ability to combine

desirable traits from different plant varieties into a single plant. This can result
in plants that are more productive, disease-resistant, and better adapted to

specific growing conditions.

Grafting can also help to preserve rare or endangered plant varieties

by allowing them to be propagated more easily. Additionally, grafting can be a

cost-effective method of plant propagation compared to other techniques

such as tissue culture. It can also allow growers to produce more plants in a

shorter amount of time, resulting in increased productivity and profitability.

FERMENTED FRUIT JUICE

Fermented fruit juice (FFJ) is a bio-nutrient made by fermenting fruit

juice with crude sugar or molasses and storing it for a few days. FFJ is

typically made from sweet ripe fruits, fruit vegetables, and root crops. FFJ can

be used to increase the fruiting process of plants and to increase yield in

some leafy green vegetables.  Can also be used as an organic fertilizer for

plants and gardens, as it increases nutrients in the soil. FFJ contains

potassium, which supports the creation of healthy hormones, as well as

increased energy another benefits.

 Fermented Fruit Juice can be used to increase the fruiting process of

plants as well as to increase yield in some leafy green vegetables. It can be

used as a foliar spray as well as indirect application to the soil, where it feeds

the microbiome and increases soil health. FFJ is very simple and easy to

make. It can be made from any number of non-citrus fruits, including those

fruits that we refer to as vegetables but which are high in potassium. The

fermentation agent used in FFJ is sugar, and the process takes seven to ten

days and can be used immediately after that time, either on its own or mixed

with FPJ or IMO.

The fermentation process, produced by sugar, extracts nutrients and

enzymes from the fruit and transforms it into a liquid extract that remains

viable for a year or more if refrigerated (Figure 16). This means that for an

extremely low cost, you will have this power booster available at any time in

the season when your fruiting plants need it, or for regular soil application for

leafy greens and general soil health.

CONCLUSIONS AND EXPERIENCES

CONCLUSION:
My on-the-job training at the demo farm on feeding and injecting native
pigs, tilapia, rabbits, goats, cows, and chickens has been an enriching and
valuable experience. Over the course of my training, I have gained a deeper
understanding of animal nutrition, feeding management, herd health, and
animal welfare. I have learned about the importance of proper nutrition and
injection techniques in promoting the growth and health of various animals.
I have also developed practical skills in feeding and caring for different
animals, as well as administering injections to prevent and treat diseases. I
have learned about the different injection types, such as subcutaneous,
intramuscular, and intravenous, and how to safely and effectively administer
them.
RECOMMENDATION:
I recommend to the BArang-ay Demo Farm is Facility for organic
production. I am delighted to endorse it as a commendable venue for organic
production. The farm use of sustainable and natural methods for crop
cultivation and animal husbandry is readily observable through their practices
and outcomes. Their dedication to maintaining soil health, controlling pests
and weeds, and reducing waste is truly impressive.
