The ideal place for swine production is far from urban place and causes no harmful effects in the neighbors due to undeniably foul odor. The most applicable practices were health and sanitation to keep the pigpen and hogs clean all throughout the rearing period. To determine the profitability of pig farming, the hogs must have a good quality carcass free from illness during market day. The activities done in hog raising were preparation of housing, disinfection, purchase of feeds and stocks, vitamin administration, feeding management, and marketing. The entrepreneur also learned to apply proper care and good production management skills resulting in better quality of hogs, and higher gain in profit. After 95 days of rearing, the stocks weighed an average live weight of 93.75 kg, with an average daily gain of 797.37 g. The hogs consumed an average of 203.75 kg of feeds per head, giving a feed conversion ratio of 2.69. A total P 42,753.66 was used for purchasing stocks, feeds, medicines, and other inputs used in the operation. The business yielded a net income of P 8,096.34, giving a return on investment (ROI) of 18.93 percent. The break-even point by weight is 62.14 kg per head and by price is P 10,688.41 per head.
