Abstract: The farm practice which mainly included feeding and other management aspects of backyard swine raising was conducted in one of the staff cottages of Don Severino Ag cultural College, Indang, Cavite, from August 31, 1981 to January 28, 1982, to generate income for students, to add production to livestock products, and to apply into actual practice the theoretical technology of swine management. The five feeder hogs fed with commercially prepared feeds corn grit, chopped napier grasses and lately with rice bran consumed an average of 297 kg. of feeds within a four months feeding period. Hogs observed were able to convert this amount of feeds to an average final gain in weight of 62.56 kilograms having a feed efficiency of 4.7. Performance in terms of weight gain and feed efficiency was relatively lower as compared to results of some feeding trials having 3.2 to 3.7 feed efficiency. Performance would have probably been improved if feeder stock was carefully selected and feeding period had been extended to five months duration. The project lost P285.50 out of P5,068.40 total expenses and gross sales of P4782.90. Losses would have been prevented if recommended scheduled approved management practices were carefully and satisfactorily implemented.
