The swine production project used four piglets with an average weight of 15.03 kg. The hogs were purchased from a backyard hog raiser in Barangay Dao-Batas, Bailen, Cavite. The feeds were bought from Farm Mart, Silang, Cavite. They were fed three times a day on the first month and twice a day on the remaining rearing period.

After 85 days, the four hogs with an average initial weight of 15.03 kg gained 71.48 kg resulting to a total body weight of 86.5 kg. The average daily gain was 840 grams. The hogs consumed an average of 175 kg of feeds, giving a feed conversion ratio of 2.45.

The project incurred a total expenses of P30,276.00. The total sales recorded was P45,120.00, giving a net income of P14,844.00. The return of investment (ROI) computed was 49.03%.
