Animal/Fish
Raising Project
Reviewing Previous Lesson

Ask:
1. What is the difference
between direct selling and
retailers?
2. Give some successful
Entrepreneurs in Animal and
Fish Raising.
• Have you experienced raising
different kinds of animals/ fish at
home?
• Do we need to raise animals as an
alternative source of income for the
family?
Animal Raising is one of the sources of livelihood of
many Filipino families today. It can be done in one’s
backyard or in a small lot nearby. And with knowledge,
skill and hard work, it can become one of the most
profitable businesses today.
Animals that can be raised at home are the
following:
1. Swine/Hog Raising:
Meat of the swine is one of the popular meats in the
market. Filipinos are heavy consumers of this
protein-rich food.
The following are the standard breeds of swine commonly
raised today:
a. Hampshire – The pig looks smaller than other breeds.
The ears are erect, tail is usually black, and legs are
short.
b. Duroc – This breed comes from New Jersey. It has a
dark red and golden yellow color. It is also a good
producer of milk and has good mothering characteristics.
c. Yorkshire-This breed is commonly raised in Canada. It
has large ears with white and black spots. This breed is a
good source of meat for making bacon.
d. Landrace – This breed comes from Denmark. It has white
hair and skin. Its ears are larger in size and cover much of
its face. Its meat is best for making bacon, ham, and pork
chop.
e. Hypor- This breed has well-muscled back, well developed
ham, and has high carcass quality. It has superior milking
qualities.
f. Poland China- This breed is black in color with white spots
on its feet, tail, and face. It has thick meat.
g. Tamworth – This has a long narrow head, long snout, and
erects ears. The body is light and dark red in colour. Its meat
is best for making bacon.
Swine at different age levels require different feed types to be
given two to three times per day. The following are different feed
types for specific age levels:
a. Starter Mash- is given to two to eight week old piglets.
b. Growing Mash- is given to two to six month old piglets.
c. Fattening Mash- is given to ten month old piglets until they are
ready for slaughtering. Alternative food like camote tops,
kangkong, papaya leaves may also be given to swine from time to
time.
2. Poultry Farming- Raises domesticated birds such as
chickens, ducks, turkeys, quail and geese to produce meat or
eggs for food.
3. Ruminants Production – Raises a ruminant mammal which
includes cattle, all domesticated and wild bovines, goats,
sheep, giraffes, deer, gazelles, and antelopes.
4. Fish Farming
Fish farming is a form of aquaculture in which fish are raised in
enclosures to be sold as food. As an archipelago, surrounded
by many bodies of water, the country is rich in natural
resources; making fish farming is suitable and viable source of
livelihood for many Filipinos.
Tilapia is one of the most in demand fish in the market
today. Fish growers both locally and abroad are focusing
aquaculture efforts on Tilapia because of the demand for
it as well as its rapid growth and productivity at harvest
time. Tilapia may be grown in three ways. Choose what
suits your locality, space, and even your purpose
whether for family consumption or as a livelihood project.
• Using the Drum. This pertains to the use of big drums
to grow tilapia, because the space is limited, the harvest
is also limited just enough for a family’s consumption.
• Using a Fish Pen or Pond. This indicates that the use of
rivers and lakes with pens or ponds measuring 1x1x1 square
meters. This can raise from 250 to 1500 tilapia.
• Using an Artificial Pond. This suggests raising tilapia in an
excavated or dug out concrete pond at the backyard
preferably near a water source where water supply is
sufficient.
Milkfish is referred to as the national fish of the Philippines,
milkfish or bangus is very popular for its milky taste. Like the
tilapia, milkfish requires no special kind of feed, for its diet.
Milkfish can be harvested after seven to ten months of
feeding.
Catfish resembles cat’s whiskers. This fish has become a
staple food for many Filipinos especially in the tagalog
region. Catfish can be harvested between four to six months
of feeding.
Ways of Raising Fish
The following are the common types of fish enclosures used
today.

A. Dug Out/Excavated Enclosures – This type of fish pen is

an inland fish pen. A large land area is excavated to create a
pool of water where fish can be grown.
B. Concrete/Plastic Enclosures-Concrete and plastic fish tanks are
usually used for commercial fingerling production and research
development.
C. Fish Cages- This is an enclosure made of nets and stakes placed in
large bodies of water like the sea, lakes, and rivers to contain and
protect fish until they can be harvested.
The following are the required permits when putting up a farm
business:
1. Business Name Registration
This permit is secured from the Department of Trade and Industry
(DTI)
2. Barangay Clearance
You need to secure the necessary permit to operate from the
barangay where your farm will be put up.
3. Mayor’s Permit and License/Sanitary Permit
The local government, which has jurisdiction over the area
where the business is located issues business licenses or
license to operate to
establishments.
4. Tax Identification Number (TIN)
This serves as the business tax ID.
5. Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC)
This document is issued by the department of Environment and natural
Resources (DENR) after inspection of the facilities that you have built on
your farm. Stated below are the day to day operations of the farm or the
production cycle operations of the farm:
Planning for operations
This is an outline of the day to day operations of your farm. What gets
done, how it is done, when it is done, who does it (production cycle).
Development of the marketing plan
This answers the question: What do you do to your products once these
become available
Establishing your financial plan
This includes budget allotment vs. expenses, debt, labor, and
miscellaneous expenses of the farm.
Execution of the business plan
At this point, you as a farm operator are able to translate all
your actions to income generation and experience gain.
Monitoring
It is important to keep records to assess whether your farm
business yields income or not.
 Research and development
It is best to keep learning and take

in new ideas and practices that can
help
Improve your daily operations. The internet is a good
source of free information. It is important to take care of
the environment when raising animals. Some laws
regulate the use of a place for animal raising. Laws
prohibit the use of residential areas for large- scale animal
raising. There is a need to segregate waste. A definite
place should be allotted for dumping the waste. Be sure
that this waste does not pollute the surrounding area
specially lakes, ponds, and rivers. Animals should stay in
their own fence and they are not allowed to loiter.

Raising Using
the
Internet
Reviewing Previous Lesson
In the previous lesson, you were able to compute for
profit of animal products marketed. It is advisable for
you to know the present market price of the products
to be sold to be sure not to lose money in the
process. Live animals are usually sold according to
weight. The price depends upon the present rate per
kilo, live or not. It is important to record your expenses
and sales. This will help animal raiser, to know
whether there is gain or loss in the business ventured.
Tick the box of the following websites where
we can sell our products online.

• Facebook
•Wikipedia
•YouTube.com
•Google.com
•Lazada
Internet marketing, or let us say an online
marketing, is the process of promoting a business
and services over the internet. It is a business without
a wall it has a wide array of business opportunities
and may even work 24/7. It is comfortable for those
buyers who are busy, but may add cost for some
reasons.
It may costs the buyer to pay for delivery direct to his
home or the customer may opt for meet ups for
delivery of the product.
The payment mode can be either Cash on
Delivery or through Online Banking payment
to avoid hassle. It has also its disadvantages
because some products posted may not be the
product being posted on a certain site.
Customer’s services can be expanded into
three parts to comprise a full circle instead of
limiting to the usual customer complaint,
inquiry or claim.
1. Pre-transaction – marketing, distribution
points and demand forecasting
2. Transaction – order processing, credit,
billing, delivery, product manual, installation
3. Post-Transaction – warranty, collection, inquiries, after
sales service, parts availability.

Today’s internet generation is very fast and helpful, thus,

salesmanship must be abreast with the trends of
marketing products with the use of technology. Internet
marketing is one of the recent trends aside from retailing.
Success in stores like internet marketing depends on how
the owner starts and operates. It also requires skills like
graphing, color matching to entice more customers to
open your site and transact with you.
Review of the product is one way to get trust from customers but it
should be honest. In internet marketing you should be a responsible
seller. So that the trust of the public will be made visible and it will
garner more customers to open your site if you have one and will
refer more to other customers.
What is a Facebook Group?
A Facebook group is a page on Facebook
created to enable a group of people to interact
around a common topic. Oftentimes Facebook
groups are used for businesses and
organizations to promote and inform their
customers and prospects about different
products, events, or updates happening in
relation to their company or industry.
How to Create a Facebook Group
Here’s the process in seven easy steps.
Option 1: Create a free trial site offline site may do or
