Efficiency Factors and Production Goals in Selected Farming Enterprises
Dissertation Abstract:
The study attempted mainly to determine the desirability of certain efficiency factors and to establish production goals particularly for poultry and swine enterprises in the Philippines.
The study included 27 BAI provincial personnel, 53 vocational agriculture teachers, 11 specialists and 193 animal raisers in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. Data were collected through mailed questionnaires and personal interviews. Frequency counts, percentages, means, and chi-square tests were used in data analysis.
Findings showed that the three groups of respondents were generally in agreement as to desirability or acceptability of most of the efficiency factors in the production of eggs, pullets, broilers, egg-type chicks, broiler chicks and market-hogs. In many cases, however, they differed significantly in their opinions on the level of efficiency factors and production standards.
Desirable efficiency factors and standards were established for the production of eggs and poultry meat and market-hog in the Philippines. Also considered were small-scale farming enterprises such as the raising of ducks, turkeys, pigeons and quails. Students of vocational agriculture could utilize these efficiency factors and production goals as practical guides in their farming programs.
