Abstract: This study was conducted to put into practice the theoretical knowledge learned about the practices of raising growing/fattening hogs. Four groups of supervised farming projects in DSAC were used in the study. Each group had a loan of P5000 as their capital, from DSAC—Agricultural Education Outreach Project. Twenty Landrace, hogs were raised with an average of five heads per group in six months, as its operational period. The source of stocks was Crispa's Swine Project at Buck State, Alfonso, Cavite. Shed type of housing was used. At the start of the study, initial weight of piglets in each group was taken. Commercial (B—Meg) feeds were given to the animals, three times a day and wet method of feeding was used. Supplementary feed like rice bran, camote tops, corn grits, napier grass and other commercial feeds were also given. Veterinary medicines were also used and fresh clean water was always available. Deworming the animal was done on the growing stage. Marketing systems were the liveweight basis and whole basis system. The hogs were sold at the age of 4 to 6 months when they reached the marketable weight. Feeding, cleaning the pig pen, surroundings and bathing the animals were the routinary work applied on the study. Keeping records of the project is of great importance. Results showed that Group I had the highest net return of P1,001.55 and Groups VII and XIV with P703.55, P395.55 and P911.25 respectively. The major problem encountered during the farm practice was the high cost of feeds and fluctuation of the price.
