The Philippine swine industry is dominated by backyard hog farming, which claims 76% of total swine stocks while 24% come from commercial farms. The swine industry contributed to 80% of the total Philippine livestock output in 2004.

Hog raising is a very popular enterprise in the Philippines such that there is a proliferation of backyard producers, which dominates the swine industry and a healthy viable commercial sector.

Despite the crises facing the swine industry, still many people are venturing in this enterprise. This manual hopes to bring appropriate technology to the interested farmers and would-be swine producers in order that they may realize profitable production and improve their quality of life.

      I am just starting out and need some help. I have seen pigs secured by a rope through their ear so they can be tied out to pasture. I do not have the money to build a concrete enclosure right now, so I would like to learn how to put the rope through a pig’s ear without endangering the animal’s health, but still have a secure method of tieing the animal so it cannot wander. Can anyone help me there? If you can, please Email me at rizonnurisma@yahoo.com. Thank you.
