Abstract: This special problem was conducted from October to December 1977 to determine the management practices employed by fifteen selected pigeon raisers in the leading towns of Cavite. The pigeon farms which were surveyed were selec-ted at random. Only raisers with no less than five pairs of pigeons were included. A set of questionnaires was prepared to gather the data. The length of experience in pigeon raising of the 15 pigeon raisers ranged from one to more than ten years. The population of the pigeon farms surveyed con-sisted of 584 pairs; 464 pairs of native breeds, and the remaining 120 were of imported breeds. Most of the pigeons were fed twice a day, others thrice and three respondents practiced once a day feeding. All of the 15 respondents used home-mixed feeds. The most common practice employed in breeding ani-mals was the natural mating of pigeons. No other means of mating was practiced because of lack of skills in forced mating. Direct buyers were common in the farms surveyed and adult pigeons were more in demand for the market as compared to squabs. High cost of mongo seeds and permanent outlet of stocks were the common problems cited by the respondents.
