Abstract: This study aimed to determine the different manage-ment practices employed at Dalisay Poultry Farm and to i-dentify the management problems and their remedies. This was conducted in Dasmarinas, Cavite from November 1978 to February 1979 using personal interview and observation. The salient findings of this study may be summarized as follows: The farm started with 2,000 SCWL (A-A-26) pullets in 1963 with a capital investment of P200,000.00 which has increased to 18,000 layers and a capital investment of P3,200,000.00. These layers were giving monthly production of 324,000 eggs. The enterprise employed good management practices resulting in a high livability of healthy and vigorous birds at the end of the brooding period. The farm had established sound management practices during the growing period of chicks which enabled it to produce layers with potential characteristics to achieve the highest possible rate of egg production. The chicks were given proper nutrition and disease prevention was al-ways observed The farm had also practiced up-to-date transfering of pullets from the growing house to the laying cages before the onset of laying stage. Culling and selection, debeaking and other routi-nary jobs were made at the same time whenever they were possible, to limit the repeated handling of birds. The farm had its own feedmill which can supply a daily ration of birds. The present stock is fed twice a day and is consuming 1,154 sacks (50 kgs/sack) monthly. Feed intake, egg production, culled birds, medi-cation and treatment, and bird abnormalities have been recorded which serve as a basis for evaluating the flock per-formance as well as guidelines for stock improvement. The problems encountered in the project included: inverted cloaca; the need for a farm manager; fast turnover of personnel; shortage of feedstuffs; and difficulty in transportation facilities especially during the rainy season. To remedy the different problems mentioned above, the farm had adopted an extensive research and study about proper management; recruitment of personnel and driving higher sa-laries and other incentives; and extensive production of feedstuff as grains and other cereals.
