| Summary, etc | The study was conducted to determine the socio-demographic profile of the respondent, utilization of artificial insemination, productivity of artificial insemination, livelihood impact, community impact, and the reasons why raisers continue using AI. This aimed to evaluate the production practices of large ruminant raisers using the normative-descriptive survey method by means of a questionnaire supplemented by observation and scheduled interviews. The Provincial Veterinary Office - Aurora provided information on the precise number of backyard swine farmers with a total of one hundred four (104). The statistical toll used are frequency count, percentage and ranking and 3-Point Likert Scale. The data gathered were statistically analyzed using percentage as shown in the chart and tables. Documentation was also presented as proof of conduction the study.<br/>The data gathered revealed that the socio-demographic profile of the respondents have ages ranging 55-60, elementary graduate, mostly male with Php 5,000 to 10,000 monthly income, most of them have three children, 1-10 years engaged in large ruminant farming, and the majority many of them raise two heads cattle, and one head of buffalo.<br/>The number of cow and carabao subjected to AI are 300m the commonly used were Murrah Buffalo and Brahman, and 71 out of the cattle and carabao serviced conceived. <br/>The productivity of artificial insemination shows that there were 52 calves born alive, 62 are died, the reasons of mortality are mishandling and abortion, 23 are naturally occurring in terms of heat period and 86 are induced, 209 cattle is raised in farm, and 77 buffalo.<br/>The livelihood impact is also determined. Most of the farmers answered that their incomes increased slightly through large ruminant raising, they are focused in raising large ruminants, they have more time spent with their families, more time is needed in raising, and they observed rapid growth of large ruminants, "Yes" was mostly the answer in the following: they need to move to other livelihood due to incapability of raising, increased number of raising large ruminant in the community and growing interest in raising large ruminants. They also stated that a large percentage of their income is from raising. Moreover, when it comes to artificial insemination, they do not think that it efficiently contributes to large ruminant raising.<br/>Community impact was also assessed. All of the four questions were answered Yes. The questions include if the number of raising large ruminant in the community have increased, if there is an increased interest in raising large ruminant, if the population of large ruminants in the community have increased, and if the community has learned to upgrade their animals.<br/>The reason why farmers agreed to continue adopting the AI technology are the following: ease of operation (can do other task/job simultaneously anytime), safety of animals from thieves, predator, increment weather, resource endowment (availability of land, labor and capital), it maintains good relationships among neighbors (prevents annoyances), improved productivity of ruminant animals (improved weight, increased resistance to illness), and better income/financial security from raising large ruminants.<br/> |
