This experimental study focused on the production of alternative feeds for broilers chickens using golden apple snail shell as the main ingredient. Three groups were compared and the characteristics of them are as follows: The commercial group was given pure commercial feeds, treatment one group (T1) was given 25% pomaceacanaliculata's shell that was mixed with 37.5% of rice bran and 37.5% of corn, and the third group which was treatment (T2) was given 50% pomaceacanaliculata's shell that was mixed with 25% of rice bran and 25% of corn as feed mix.The study found out that golden apple snail shell can be mixed with feeds for broiler production without negative effect on the carcass recovery. It can replace commercial feeds as food for broilers especially if the farm area or area near it were infested by golden apple snail. Although the consumption cost among the treatments and the commercial feed do not differ, it is practical to use T2 as a substitute for commercial feeds since it is less than P3.00 to P5.00 per consumption cost.The findings of this study have valuable financial implications, particularly to the farmers and poultry owners.
This study examined the economics of Philippine Lime or Calamansi production in selected Cities and Municipalities in Nueva Ecija, Philippines. The study was conducted within the rural farming households' framework, which constitutes the Philippine agricultural sector's backbone, producing about 5.8 percent of the total national agricultural output with the Central Luzon area, including the portion of the locale of the study. Using quota sampling, data collected from 50 selected calamansi grower- farmers from top 5 producing area in Nueva Ecija, the study measured the profitability of and the production efficiency of calamansi production in the area. Using a formal interview schedule, primary data was obtained from the sampled farming households. The study revealed that the typical calamansi farmer in the area as reflected in the instrument, thirty-two (32) or 64% which covers the majority of the respondents claimed that they fully owned the land they cultivated. Calamansi yield depends on its age as well. Fertilizer was found to harm output. Majority of them shared the same production and post–production practices, though a slight difference in terms of labor cost was observed. There were some who were already in the industry for quite a long time and learned other farming techniques and practices different from the conventional and were proven effective. For better efficiency, the land area cultivated, the farmers' educational status, accessibility to credit facility, and development of the rural areas and farmers' contact with the extension agents are some of the key issues to address. The local government in cities and municipalities may engage in an intensive campaign in encouraging capitalists to form cooperatives, processing and manufacturing houses to produce calamansi juice and other valuable products out of the calamansi fruit.
Philippine Lime or Calamansi is considered one of the Philippine high-value crops in Nueva Ecija province. This article presents some issues and problems of the calamansi industry in terms of marketing. The study used a descriptive survey of 56 farm-owners or calamansi growers. Findings revealed that lime production could be a stable income source if the growers can provide the necessary production inputs on a sustainable basis. Calamansi farmers in the province some often confronted with the following problems: the high cost of farm inputs, price fluctuations, price manipulation of big-time traders, and other intermediaries. The study also found out that the existing actors in the chain were limited to growers, laborers, agri-supply shops, nursery owners, intermediaries, and traders. In terms of trading, there is a high degree of competition among traders in the market. The findings and results from this study may have important factors in developing and designing effective agricultural marketing program and startegic development plan by the authorities in the region.
The goal of this study, Incest The Victims and Their Perpetrators, was to determine the incidence of victims of incest in Nueva Ecija Home for Girls. Incest is described as a child's sexual exploitation by a parent or other entity that has control over the child. Violence can occur in various degrees of age, locations, and forms. Victims experience mental depression, not only do the results of abuse end up in the latter, but it also has a psychological effect on both victims and families. Incest is characterized as a child's sexual exploitation by a parent or other entity with authority over the child. Stories of violence and sexual assault are frequently seen on television, but few are concerned and aware of the potential support they can give to victims, so victims cannot speak out on their own because they know it and see it as a very humiliating and tragic event.Careful consideration was given to the profile of both victims and perpetrators in terms of demographic, economic and educational variables. During therapy sessions involving counseling, evaluation and in-depth examination of the case of molested individuals at the Palayan City Girls Home, Nueva Ecija, the researchers would like to examine the impacts of abuse. The researchers would also like to know the causes of this exploitative activity to determine the level of awareness of the community with regards to the abused, especially in women of young age who do not have enough wisdom to defend themselves. Concern of this research focused also on the status of social and psychological support.The researchers used interview and observation method of gathering information for the cases.The findings of this study shows that sexual exploitation is common and victims belong to low class families. The abused are psychologically disturbed and its impact last for many years.The study revealed that there were also NGOs and GOs which were ready to help and support the victims. Perpetrators of incest were seldom jailed. The justice system is to slow to respond to the cases of sexual violence. The children with stepfathers and working mom had greater possibilities of having abused children. Incest cuts across all ethnic religious groups in our society. Incest also shows that children in the Philippines were obedient to parents and were willing to sacrifice themselves than to voice out their secrets. Victims have feelings of isolation and mistrust.
