Kinds of four-legged animals/fish being raised as means of livelihood
Hog/swine Raising Hogs are commonly produced animals among animal growers. They can be raised in the backyard or in the vacant lot. Large scale piggeries should be constructed away from residential area considering the health hazard that these animals can cause to people.
Hog raising is in-demand business because Filipinos are heavy consumers of pork meat. In five to six months’ time, this animal can be sold live or as meat to consumers . Weanlings are sold for “ lechon ” purposes. The supply of pork meat during peak seasons like Christmas time, New year and fiesta celebration is high that is why massive production of hogs is necessary to meet the demand of supply.
Good housing, feeding racks, water troughs and septic tank should be provided to pigs. Good source of water is also necessary since pigs’ house must be maintained and disinfected . Although , they require a big amount of funding for their maintenance, the return of investment is great if skills, knowledge, and hard work are applied.
Goat Raising Goats are also one of the most farmed animals among Filipinos because they are easy to raise, require a minimum investment , and multiply fast .
Goats need good housing, feeding racks , drinking troughs, and an open grassland. Chevon or goat meat is rich source of protein and is just affordable by many. The production of chevon meat has increased because people opted to buy this kind of meat for it is low in calories, saturated fat, and has a unique taste and flavor.
Cattle or Cow Raising Cattle raising provides meat and dairy products such as milk, cheese, butter, and yogurt. Although they require big amount of capital investment because they are expensive animal, they have less maintenance requirement compared to hog raising since they just feed on grasses .
Beef is a popular meat among Filipinos and costs higher than the pork meat thus, cattle raising has a good return of investment to cattle growers if enough knowledge, skills and attitude are applied. Cows need pasture land for feeding, roaming and water troughs for drinking. They are resistant to diseases and fast-growing animals. Milk production is a popular and a very profitable business today. In fact, cow’s milk is used in school’s feeding program because of its high nutritive value.
Carabao Raising The Carabao is known as our national animal of the country. It helps farmers in many ways that is why they are regarded as the best buddy of the farmers in the farm. They are not only raised for farming, but for meat consumption as well since the carabeef , ( carabao’s meat) is a good quality meat with a market price higher than the cow’s meat . This farm animal is an excellent producer of milk that is why carabao raisers are making profit out of it.
Rabbit raising Rabbitry is becoming a livelihood nowadays. Rabbits are raised for meat consumption and pets’ purposes. Rabbit meat which is rarely eaten can be a good alternative to pork and beef because of its quality meat. They are also resistant to diseases.
Kinds of Fish being Cultured as Means of Livelihood 1.Milkfish ( Chanos chanos ) Milkfish is the national fish of Philippines and it is known locally as ‘ bangus .’ Milkfish is a delectable fish which grows fast and can tolerate a wide range of salinity .
The culture of milkfish in brackish water ponds and pens is an age-old and traditional practice in many tropical countries such as Philippines. It is farmed in freshwater ponds, lakes , reservoirs, and marine cages. Many important characters make milkfish a desirable species to culture:
• Herbivorous feeding habit, which reduces production cost and gives more profit to the farmer. • Rapid growth rate compared to other herbivorous fishes. • Readily acceptance of formulated pellet feed under culture conditions. • Easy culture practice with other cultivable species like Shrimps, Mullet, Tilapia , and Carps, etc .
• Due to its non-cannibalistic nature, stocking density can be high in culture conditions compared to other finfishes. • Tolerance of wide range of salinity makes them suitable to culture in different salinity. • Shiny, attractive appearance makes it potential live bait in the tuna industry .
2. Tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ) Tilapia is good fish for culture, it can be breed in ponds, cages, or fish pens. It feeds oraciously on most natural food-like planktons , bottom biota presents in ponds, but prefer vegetative foods.
Tilapia is a common name for nearly 100 species of tilapia used in culturing fish. Many people culture tilapia because it is easy to raise and it is a fastgrowing fish and can survive in any bodies of water either in seawater or in freshwater and any type of environment
3. Catfish ( Clarias batrachus ) Clarias batrachus is a black, slippery fish with mustache to aid it in swimming. It is called catfish in English, hito in Ilocos , ito in Pampanga, and pantat in Pangasinan , Cebu and Iloilo . Catfish are resistant to disease, can be stocked at high densities , and tolerates low water quality. Catfish are usually found in marshes, rice fields, swamps, streams , rivers, lakes, irrigation canals, or in any body or fresh water .
Catfish are carnivores, but can feed on small bottom dwelling animals, rice bran , kitchen refuse, fish meal, or formulated feeds .
4. Mudfish ( Clarias Anguillaries ) Mudfish is among the fish that can be cultured in the backyard. This fresh water fish is locally known as “ dalag ” in tagalog and “ haluan ” in Cebuano . They usually lived on rice fields, streams, irrigation canals, swamps, marshals, rivers, and lakes.
