Abstract: The study was conducted at the DSAC Piggery project to determine the management practices employed in hog grow-ing and the various problems encountered here. This was conducted from October 21, 1981 to February 22, 1982. The management practices employed were select of stocks, housing, feeding, deworming, sanitation, disease prevention, weighing and marketing. The initial capital of p 5,000, a loan from the Agricultural Education Outreach Project, was spent in five hogs, feeds and medicine. The stocks were bought from Crisps Piggery Project, a well established piggery farm in Alfonso, Cavite. The stocks were housed in a central colony type and fed by hand feeding method. The hogs were fed three times a day in the first month and twice a day on the succeeding month. The fattening hogs were given commercial feeds and green feeds as was practiced. Cleaning the pigpen and bathing the stocks were routinary works done in the project. Immunization was given to the hogs and disinfectant was also used to prevent the stocks from disease contamination. The hogs were weighed monthly, to determine the increase in weight. The hogs were sold on a wholesale basis to contact buyers. The hogs had a total initial weight of 101 kilograms and an average initial weight of 20.2 kilograms. After four months, the animal gained a total weight of 424.9 kilograms. The hogs registered a total feed consumption of 1,322 kilograms with an average feed consumption of 264.4 kilograms. These animals exhibited a total feed efficiency of 4.08. Some of the problems encountered were lack of capital and high cost of feeds.
