Enhancing native chicken farming in Tudela, Misamis Occidental, Mindanao, Philippines: A study of practices and challenges
Abstract
This study investigated into the practices employed by native chicken raisers in Tudela, Misamis Occidental. By surveying 150 individuals, a clear profile emerged: the majority were middle-aged men. This demographic suggests a strong potential for successful backyard farming, given their experience and dedication. The Joloano/Basilan breed proved to be the most popular choice among the raisers, primarily raised for meat production. While scavenging for natural feeds was a common practice, purchased feeds were also used to supplement their diet. However, the study identified significant challenges hindering optimal production: inadequate housing facilities and limited access to veterinary services. The findings emphasize the urgent need for targeted support to enhance native chicken production in the region. By providing specialized training programs, local governments and NGOs can equip raisers with the knowledge and skills necessary for effective management. Additionally, facilitating access to veterinary care can help prevent diseases and ensure the health and well-being of the chickens. Investing in improved housing facilities would also provide a more favourable environment for the birds, leading to better growth rates and overall productivity. Through these interventions, the study proposes a way towards sustainable and resilient native chicken farming practices. By empowering raisers and addressing their specific needs, local communities can benefit from increased food security, improved livelihoods, and the preservation of traditional agricultural practices.
