1988
Parrilla, L.S. | Pasas, O.B. | Ampong, R.M.
The average milk and cheese production was significantly higher in treated caracows than in untreated ones due to the increase in the protein intake of the treated animals thus increasing the solid content of the milk. Gathering and feeding ipil-ipil leaves to caracows, milking the caracows, and processing milk into cheese were the activities affected when ipil-ipil feed supplementation was introduced. Partial budget analysis shows that net benefits derived from ipil-ipil feed supplementation were significantly higher in treated caracows than in the untreated ones. Marginal rate of return was very high indicating that ipil-ipil feed supplementation in Gandara, Samar [Philippines] is economically feasible. Sensitivity analysis gave an estimate of the benefits a carabao raiser gets as prices of output and cost of input change.
