Veterinarian introduces urban piggery
MALAY, Aklan – A veterinarian who works as a consultant of the livelihood program on swine dispersal of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) of the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) introduced a new urban piggery concept.
Dr. Gomer Canoy said he was able to come up with the said innovation after several years of experience in swine dispersal.
He claimed the program is new to Philippine setting as the pig pen has a comfort room for pigs.
He said the project is environment friendly because it uses biogas technology to eliminate the foul odor from the pigs’ manure, a major concern of swine dispersal.
He explained that methane gas produced from the excrements of the pigs can be used as fuel for heating purposes, thereby reducing the cutting of trees to be used as firewood.
“The sludge produced by the biogas also serves as organic fertilizers in farms,” Canoy said.
Under Canoy’s innovation, he said the new urban pig pen has the following advantages:
• reduces the use of water in swine production for 90 percent
• 90 percent faster growth rate – meaning a pig can be sold for 100 days instead of the usual 115 days
• lessens the foul odor for 98 percent; and
• gives a 98 percent success rate.
“The remaining two percent success rate will depend on the determination of the hog raisers,” Canoy said.
“With my concept, pigs will definitely have no access to bacteria. The probability is very high that a hog could reach 100 kilos in 100 days and is definitely suitable as food supply to five star hotels,” he added.
Canoy is now the quality control consultant of CARP’s livelihood assistant to their agrarian reform beneficiaries.
According to Dea Pelayo, who is in-charge of the livelihood program of CARP, DAR will allocate P1 million for the members of the Kalipunan ng Maliliit Na Magniniyog ng Napa-an.
The cooperative has around 105 active members, many of whom are women.
“The allocation is a loan for the cooperative members as they are also ARBs. We have seen the potential in swine dispersal in them. Through our program, if successful, they would be able to supply the needed meat requirements for Boracay Island,” Pelayo said.
Boracay Island, a premier beach destination in the country, is under the geographical area of Malay town./
