Abstract: ARDINA, JOHN NELSON F. Management Practices in Piggery Farm in Lowland Cavite. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Agriculture major in Animal Science. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2005. Adviser: Dr. Magdalena N. Alcantara. The management practices of piggery farms in ten lowland municipalities of Cavite were evaluated from November 2003 to January 2004. The study aimed specifically to assess the housing, feeding, breeding and health management system and to determine the common problems of lowland swine raisers. Majority of the respondents raised swine as an additional source of income. They practiced ad libitum feeding using commercial feeds purchased from local feed suppliers. Most of the respondents used a monitor type of housing made up of local materials such as hollow blocks, cement for wall and flooring and galvanized iron sheet for roofing. The gestation period lasted for 120 days. Majority of the respondents are using eight months old gilts and boar for breeding. The number of piglets produced depends on the ability of the sow, but usually in one farrowing they produce 6 to 10 heads of piglets with average weight of 0.5 kg per piglet. Weaning of piglets is usually done about 30 to 40 days with 15 kg and above weaning weight. The usual buyers are market vendors. The common problems encountered by the respondents were the occurrence of disease like fever and flu, parasitic infestation, slow growth and high cost of feed materials.
