Master in Agricultural Technology Education (Animal Production)

Starting from its implementation, the Broiler Production Project has served as a training ground for the Diploma in Agricultural Technology and Bachelor in Agricultural Technology (DAT-BAT) students and prepared them to become skilful, productive and competent graduate well-equipped with modern farm technologies in broiler production. The project also show-cased modern broiler production in ASCOT.
The production phase was conducted at the Sloping Agricultural Land technology (SALT) Project of the college from January 2 to March 6, 1999. Initially, it was financed by the Republic of the Philippines-European Economic Community – Agricultural Education (RP-EEC-AGRED) and owner’s equity with a total project cost amounting to P1,638.30.
In the initial operation of the project, a total expenses of P1,638.30 was incurred and P26,474.00 gross sales were realized; this resulted in a net income of P7,35.70. The return on investment was 42.04 percent, which means that for every peso invested in the project, a net return of 42.04 centavo was realized.
The satisfactory performance of broilers and thus the profitability of the project also demonstrated that broiler production is suitable in the area.
The project is financially stable having 7 percent net return.
