ANIMAL
(FOUR-LEGGED)
RAISING
PERSONS IN THE COMMUNITY WHOSE OCCUPATION
IS ANIMAL (FOUR-LEGGED) RAISING.
Animal raising is a profitable

business, though it requires big
amount of capital. Capital invested
can be double when the person
engaged has a determination
on his/her business.
KINDS OF FOUR-LEGGED ANIMALS TO BE RAISED
MEANS OF LIVELIHOOD
A. Hog/Swine Raising
Pork is one of the popular
meats in the market. Filipinos
are heavy consumers of this
protein –rich food. Success in
swine raising begins with the
proper selection of breeds.
KINDS OF FOUR-LEGGED ANIMALS
There are two types of variety
or breed to select from:
1. The native variety commonly
found in rural areas. This
variety feeds on palay and
meal leftovers of the family.
They feed on grounds as they
simply loiter in the backyard.
2. The imported varieties are

Yorkshire or Large White,
Landrace, Duroc-Jersey,
Hampshire, Berkshire and
Poland-China.
B. Goat Raising
Goats are very popular among

Filipinos because they require
low capital investment, fit the
small hold farm condition and
multiply fast.
B. Goat Raising
Culturally, goats are integral
to every special occasion such
as birthdays, baptisms,
weddings, and fiestas. Hence,
they command a higher price
compared with other meats
in the market.
B. Goat Raising
Goats require low maintenance
because they eat tree leaves,
weeds, grasses, and
agricultural by- products. They
are not only a source of protein,
but they also provide the much-
needed income.
B. Goat Raising
In fact, goats provide

livelihood to about 15 million
Filipinos across the country
today.
B. Goat Raising
As goat production requires
low initial investment and
small risks compared to other
livestock species, it is thus an
attractive undertaking among
resource- poor families.
B. Goat Raising
Moreover, women and
children can raise the
species, making it a sound
option to augment the
country’s programs on
livelihood.
C. Cattle or Cow Raising
Cattle fattening has gained
importance as business
project of the livestock
industry in the Philippines.
It gives farmers year-round
work and provides them
with extra income.
They can make use of cheap,
plentiful farm by-products
such as corn stovers, rice
straw, copra meal, rice
bran, and sugarcane
tops—which ordinarily
go to waste.
C. Cattle or Cow Raising .
More importantly, it helps
meet the urgent demand
for high-protein food
in the Filipino diet. Feed
is a key to profitable cattle
raising.
C. Cattle or Cow
Raising .
Cattle need food nutrients
for maintenance, growth,
and production.
Animal raisers must
formulate feeds based on
their animals’ sex, age,
weight gain desired, and the
moisture content of available
roughage and feeds.
D. Carabao Raising
The carabao (swamp-type

buffalo) is a prized symbol
of a farmer's wealth and is
an integral component of
Philippine agriculture.
D. Carabao Raising
Millions of crop farmers rely
on this animal as the main
source of draft power for
almost all farming operations
despite the introduction of
small power tillers.
D. Carabao Raising
The carabao provides
animal protein in the form of
meat and milk; as well as
hides and horns (which have
many economic uses) and
manure, a potential organic
fertilizer for the farm.
E. Horse Raising
Horse is a highly intelligent
and emotional animal that
will change your life.
Interacting with horses is
one of the most stress
relieving activities.
E. Horse Raising
However, you must be fully
prepared and consider the
financial issue along with the
commitment needed, if you
decide to raise horses
at your property.
E. Horse Raising
Horses or any other

livestock cannot be left
unattended for over a day.
E. Horse Raising
Raising horses means

caring, watching, cleaning,
feeding and troubleshooting
365 days a year.
E. Horse Raising
Thus, if you consider leaving

let’s say for a weekend, you
must find an experienced
and reliable farm sitter to
take care of your horses.

Possible Hazards that Animal
Raising can Cause to the People
and Community
POSSIBLE HAZARDS TO PEOPLE AND COMMUNITY
Venturing into animal raising can be a

challenge. There are a lot of factors to
keep track that could make or break
the future of the farm and its animals,
the community, the people and the
environment.
Think about the animals you are raising.
The hazard is increased if the animals
are not handled properly. Hazards are
any source of potential damage, harm
or adverse health effects on something
or someone under certain conditions
at work.
1. Pollution – Not properly disposed

animal waste and let exposed in the
backyard or left uncovered for drying,
can produce unpleasant smell to the
surroundings and community
causing air pollution.
1. Pollution – This animal waste

attracts insects which can be carrier
of diseases-causing bacteria
lead to sickness of making the people
surround the vicinity sick.
2. Infection and Diseases – Flies and

insects carry disease-causing bacteria
that settle on food which can lead to
sickness like diarrhea, food poisoning,
skin infections and other diseases.
3. Fly and Insect Infestations – Flies

and insect infestations should be
controlled so that they cannot multiply
fast. It can spread out to the community
causing disturbance, stress, and
diseases.
3. Fly and Insect Infestations –

If these sick animals are not properly
treated, it can cause danger to the
health of the people.
WAYS TO PREVENT HAZARDS BROUGHT
ABOUT BY RAISING ANIMALS
1. Put up septic tanks for the proper

disposal of animal waste.
2. Establish the housing of animals

away from houses and the
neighborhood.
3. Have enough fences/walls and tries

to minimize air pollution caused by
decayed animal wastes.
4. Clean and regularly disinfect

the houses of animals.
5. Bathe animal regularly.
6. Have adequate space for animals to
move about for exercise and promote good
health. For instance, three to four hogs can
be housed comfortably in a 2 meter by 2-
meter concrete enclosure with roofing.

before having them joined with other
hogs to ensure the safety and health
of the regular hogs as well as
the new ones.

Market Demands
for Animal Products
and By-products
Market Demands for Animal Products and By-products
Philippine population increases. As of

2018 it is about 104 million. There is an
increase in the demand for beef, carabeef
and good meat (chevon meat) as well as
in fish such as bangus, tilapia, shellfish,
shrimps and other fishes harvested from
ponds, lakes rivers and seas.
About 80%-90% of the production

of swine, cattle/cow, goat and carabao
comes from backyard raising. The meat
of these animals goes directly to different
markets in our country to be sold for
household consumption.
Our country do not export meat, but we

import meat from other country as well as
live hogs for breeding.
Carabaos are also excellent potential
sources of milk as they can produce 300
to 800 kilograms of milk during a lactation
period of 180 to 300 days.
Murrah crossbreeds can produce 42%

more milk than the native caracows.
Carabao milk has a higher nutritive value
than cow's milk and can be easily used
in the production of soft white cheese
(kesong puti).
Goat is a healthy alternative to pork and
beef since goat feeds only on grasses
and vegetables. Now, there is an increase
in demand for goats. Although total goat
inventory in the country is steadily
increasing at 2% per year, still there is not
enough supply to meet current demands.
It is expected that this increased demand
will last up to 2020, the year when supply
is projected to meet demand. Considering
these, goat production is indeed a
promising venture and anyone interested
to go into this business is expected to
reap positive rewards.
DIRECT-TO-CONSUMERS VS. RETAILER
● Direct-to-Consumer – is a term when
products are sold directly to their end
consumers or user without third-party
retailers, wholesalers, or other middlemen.
● Retailer – a person that sells goods
to the public in relatively small quantities
for use.
