Introductory Message
Welcome to TLE 9 – AFA (Animal Production-Swine)!

The Learning Activity Sheet is a product of the collaborative efforts of the

Schools Division of Negros Occidental and DepEd Regional Office VI - Western
Visayas through the Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD). This is
developed to guide the learning facilitators (teachers, parents and responsible
adults) in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Basic Education
Curriculum.

The Learning Activity Sheet is self-directed instructional materials aimed to

guide the learners in accomplishing activities at their own pace and time using the
contextualized resources in the community. This will also assist the learners in
acquiring the lifelong learning skills, knowledge and attitudes for productivity and
employment.

For learning facilitator:

The TLE 9 – AFA (Animal Production-Swine) Activity Sheet will help you
facilitate the leaching-learning activities specified in each Most Essential Learning
Competency (MELC) with minimal or no face-to-face encounter between you and
learner. This will be made available to the learners with the references/links to ease
the independent learning.

For the learner:

The TLE 9 – AFA (Animal Production-Swine) Activity Sheet is developed

to help you continue learning even if you are not in school. This learning material
provides you with meaningful and engaging activities for independent learning. Being
an active learner, carefully read and understand the instructions then perform the
activities and answer the assessments. This will be returned to your facilitator on the
agreed schedule.

PROCEDURES IN CLEANING AND STORING TOOLS AND OUTFITS

I. Learning Competency with Code

3.1 Clean and store used tools and outfits after use in designated areas
TLE_AFAAPS9-12ASMFO-Id-e-3
3.1.1 Identify sections in the swine farm that needs periodical cleaning and
disinfection
3.1.2 Use tools, equipment and outfits that are cleaned and disinfected

II. Background Information for Learners

Keeping pig housing, storage, facilities, equipment and outfits clean is important
to maximize livestock weight, reduce animal loss and to keep medical bills to a
minimum. It is possible to implement a thorough program of cleaning if a
straightforward pig hygiene routine is put in place. Follow a tried-and-tested
cleansing program to make sure your pig housing, storage, facilities, equipment
and outfits is cleared of viruses, bacteria and fungi periodically. Once you
establish a routine, cleaning your livestock housing, storage, facilities and outfits
will be a quick and uncomplicated part of the farm life operation.
Farm Traffic & Animal Transport
-Keep visitor and service vehicles from driving over feed delivery or manure handling
routes.

-Keep visiting vehicles out of areas accessible to livestock.

-Locate holding pens for animal pickups near the road and away from the barns or
livestock areas.

-Use only clean, well-bedded trucks to move livestock to avoid introducing diseases
and to avoid injuries during transport.

-Thoroughly wash and disinfect the inside, outside, and tires of livestock-hauling
trucks or other implements of husbandry shared with neighbors.

Housing/Building Facilities Maintenance

-Replace fly tape, if necessary.

-Be aware of hiding and denning places for rodents. Set baits or traps accordingly.
Use caution if dogs access the same area.
-Inspect and repair holes in buildings to prevent rodents from living there.

-Remove piles of boards, wood, or other junk

.
-Check for rain and storm water damage.

-Identify and correct manure runoff problems.

-Remove standing water, which can be a breeding ground for mosquitoes.

-Prevent standing water on the ground near water systems in pastures.

-Check fences along farm and pasture perimeters; repair any damage

-Use electric fence wherever possible, if appropriate.

-Make changes to bird detractors and fly tape or other control methods as needed.

-Replace bird netting where needed and change bird detractors so that birds do not
ignore their presence.

Feed Storage and Bunk Management

-Use optimal procedures for harvesting, handling, and storage of all crops.

-Make sure that feed bunks and storage areas are inaccessible to rodents, birds,
dogs, cats, and other wildlife.

-Check for and dispose of moldy or spoiled material in silos, bunks, and bins. Upright
silos need to be emptied to thoroughly clean.

-Bags of feed or feed ingredients should be stored off the floor (e.g. on pallets).

-Opened bags should be placed in or emptied into barrels with tight lids.

-Use steel feed bins rather than open-front commodity shed bays to reduce
shrinkage (i.e., loss to wind, rodents, or birds) and prevent contamination.

-Clean in and around storage areas between batches of feed.

-Rotate inventory to limit the amount of pathogens in stored feeds.

-Keep covers on barrels and bins; make sure water is not getting into storage areas.

-Address any moisture problems periodically. Ensure that the storage environment is
appropriate for feed.

-Protect all feeding areas from animal carcasses and manure.

-Follow optimal feed management practices.

-Use smooth feeding bunks to minimize the surface area that could be colonized by
pathogens. Dispose of feed refusals if not eaten within 24 hours. Do not feed
refusals from adult animals to youngstock.

Water Quality and Trough Management

-Clean water troughs, buckets, or cups daily or weekly. Replace with ones that are
easier to clean if this is a bottleneck.

-Disinfect waterers at least twice a year.

-Protect all water sources from animal carcasses and manure.

-Make sure a regular cleaning schedule of water troughs and tanks is being followed.

Equipment
-Clean and disinfect any equipment used on sick animals prior to use on healthy
herd mates.

-Clean and disinfect ear knotching pliers, needle teeth, forceps, ear tagger, knives,
and clippers between animals.

-Use your own halters and clippers rather than borrowing them.

-Sanitize nursing bottles and buckets after each feeding.

Pen/Hutch Use
-Use maternity pens only for birthing animals.

-Move pregnant animals to clean pastures or paddocks prior to birthing.

-Use sick pens only for sick animals.

-Segregate sick animals and prevent animal-to-animal contact between sick pens
and maternity pens.

-Provide a clean environment for birthing.

-Clean all manure from the pens after use.

-Disinfect the walls and floors after use.

Pen/Hutch Disinfection
-Remove all bedding.

-Remove sidewalls, gates, hog wire, if applicable.

-Power wash or steam clean all wood, metal, or concrete surfaces.

Note: ammonia compounds should not be mixed with chlorine. The combination
releases a harmful gas; acid compounds mixed with chlorine release toxic chlorine
gas.

-The hot water or steam will inactivate most pathogens.

-Protect yourself from aerosolized material; wear goggles and a respirator.

-Rinse with a chlorine solution for additional sanitization.

-If a high-temperature pressure washer is not available, scrub all surfaces with
detergent, rinse, and rinse again with a chlorine solution.

-Let dry before bedding for next use.
