Abstract

The study was conducted to identify the problems, the extent of swine production technology practice and the subsequent social changes brought about to the beneficiaries by the swine dispersal project of the local government unit of Banate. Result show that majority of the respondent disposed their swine before farrowing because of the problems like financial and incidence of dreadful swine diseases, the reasons why only 81.82 percent are still presently raising swine. Closer relationship among barangay officials and AT’s and sharing of swine raising technology were among the most noticeable social changes that the recipient-respondents have observed in their participation to swine dispersal program. Correlation analysis revealed that knowledge on aspects of swine production is highly and significantly related to its practice. However, analysis also showed that knowledge on swine dispersal was not significantly related to perceived level of social changes.
