Thus, producing thorough breeds of carabaos and improving itgenetically is the best response to these constraints. This study was conducted to present the feasibilitystudy of establishing an Artificial Insemination (AI) Center and its planned area of operation in Brgy.San Juan, Ildefonso, Bulacan. The market, production, organizational and financial viability of operatingthe business would also be evaluated. This particular study will provide insights in establishing an AICenter. Included in this study is the identification of anticipated problems that could affect the businessand recommendation of specific courses of action to counteract these possible problems. Primary datawere obtained through interviews with key informants from the Philippine. Carabao Center (PCC). Togain insights about the present status of an AI Center, interviews with the technicians of PCC and privatefarm were done to get additional information. Secondary data were acquired from various literatures andfrom San Ildefonso Municipal Office. The proposed area would be 1,500 square meters that would beallotted for the laboratory and bullpen. The AI Center will operate six days a week and will be openedfrom 8 AM until 5 PM. However, customers or farmers can call the technicians beyond the office hoursin case of emergency. The total initial investment of Php 3,825,417.39 is needed in establishing the AICenter. The whole amount will be sourced from the owner’s equity. Financial projection showed an IRRof 30% with a computed NPV of Php 2,415,597.00 and a payback period of 3.97 years. Based on all themarket, technical, organizational, financial factors, projections and data analysis, it is said that thisbusiness endeavor is viable and feasible.

Abstract

Optimizing the length of raising time in cattle fattening business should be applied to increasefarmers’ income. A survey research was carried out to analyze the optimum raising duration and itsrelationship with income in the business of Simmental - Ongole Grade crossbred (SOG) beef cattlefattening. This research involved 50 farmers chosen purposively as respondents based on some specificcriteria, i.e. the farmers had been experienced at least for 5 years, the business scale was 1 – 3 bulls andthe cattle’s live weight was around 250 – 350 kg. Data were taken by cross section and time series for 3months, covering respondents’ identity, cattle business condition, business inputs, cattle’s weight, inputand output prices. The data were analyzed using combined data regression model. The optimum raisingduration was calculated using profit function per time, while the inputs were converted into timefunction. All of the costs and incomes of business were calculated. The results showed that the optimumraising duration of SOG beef cattle fattening was reached at the 1.5 months from the cattle aging 16.67months old. The amount of the total cost, revenue and income in the optimum raising duration were IDR7,161,740.00; IDR 7,797,100.00 and IDR 635,350.00, respectively. The amount of the cost, revenue andincome in the optimum raising duration per kg of cattle live weight, were IDR 23,247.00; IDR25,157.00 and IDR 1,910.00, respectively.
