ACP Proponent: SIBALOM LIVESTOCK AND POULTRY RAISERS ASSOCIATION, INC.

(SILPRA, INC.)

Address/Location: Fenete St., District III, Sibalom, Antique

Project Title: Enhancement of Feeds Production

No. of Beneficiaries: 51

Types of Beneficiaries: Farmers and livestock raiser

Total Project Cost: Php1,250,000.00

Background:

Sibalom Livestock and Poultry Raisers Association, Inc. (SILPRA INC.) was organized in
August 02, 2018 with the purpose of solving the very low live weight price of hogs in the
livestock market (75-80 pesos/kilo). The production of Silpra feeds is a response to the need of
the association and its farmer members to continuously develop and grow their existing
agricultural commodities, increase production, engage in livestock selling and come up with a
profitable share for the organization and its members. A village type feed mill was constructed
through the National Livestock Program of the Department of Agriculture (DA). However, due
to the increase of farm inputs and recent calamities in our locality, farmers suffered great losses
in potential produce and harvest. Thus, this project under the Department of Labor and
Employment (DOLE) is timely and relevant to ensure that the farmers can sell their livestock at
a competitive price with less production cost or expense. To date, the Sibalom Livestock and
Poultry Raisers Association (SILPRA) is active in Hog Trading, Feed Formulation and Meat Shop
business.

Proposed Businesses/Projects

The Association has 570 members who are engaged in farming and livestock raising.
Among these members, a total of 51 members were identified as direct beneficiaries. These
beneficiaries are corn planters and livestock raisers whose products are bought by the
Association to be used as the primary raw materials for feeds. The Association produces its
own formulation of feeds for hog fattening and raising. After harvest, the members sell their

public market, talipapa and to other meat suppliers.

about 5% of the members. Through the Kabuhayan Program of DOLE, the Association can
increase production output to about 80% and can increase feeds usage to about 10% of the
Association members.
