Output Wise, then, the participants did better than the nonparticipants in the swine production course. The participants' characteristics found to be significantly associated with adoption of rice production practices were tenure status, annual gross income, awareness of availability of improved rice varieties, use of credit facilities, ownership of television and contact with extension agents. Likewise, the following were found to be significantly related to adoption of poultry production practices: ownership of television, reading newspapers, and reading literature about poultry raising. The adoption of recommended swine production practices vas found to be significantly associated with number of dependents, annual gross income, reading literatures about swine, and contact with extension agents. The level of output in rice production was found to be significantly associated with the following characteristics educational attainment, experience in rice farming, number of dependents, tenure status, awareness of availability of rodenticides, use of credit facilities, ownership of television, reading newspapers, reading literatures about rice farming and contact with extension agents. The output in poultry production had significant association with educational attainment, ownership of television, reading newspapers, reading literature on poultry raising and contact with extension agents. Only three of the characteristics investigated were significantly associated with output in swine production, namely: experience in swine raising, reading newspapers, and reading literature on swine production.
