One of the major reasons why the Filipinos engage in animal raising is the increasing cost of live and frozen poultry, pork and beef as well as milk and eggs. There is also an increase in the much-needed supply of meat which is a rich source of protein. This will help meet the individual needs of children, lactating mothers and others.
