PROJECT SUMMARY The project conducted by the OIP student was Feedlot Cattle Fattening. The implemented project started last July 21, 2018 with the acquisition of supplies and materials for use in the construction of cattle shed. Other activities indicated in the program of work were also performed by the proponent. The project composed three (3) heads cattle with tropical breed. The stocks were chosen based on the health condition prior to purchasing. The initial weight was one hundred thirty to one hundred fifty kilos at eighteen months of age. They were acquired from a friend, who also engaged in cattle raising, in the place where the proponent resides. After four months of raising through confined method, the stocks were disposed gaining total weight of six hundred seventy five kilos (675) with liveweight price of two hundred fifteen pesos (P215.00). The stocks had a gross sales of one hundred forty five thousand one hundred twenty five pesos (P145, 125.00), with gross expenses of eighty six thousand five hundred seventy three pesos and sixty five centavos (P86, 573.65). The project realized a net income of fifty eight thousand five hundred fifty one and thirty five centavos (P58, 551.35) having a return on investment of sixty seven and sixty three percent (67.63%). After its project operation, the student entrepreneur experienced some problems like shortage of budget allocation. Minor problems were overcome with the help of the immediate members of the family and through the assistance extended to the student. Cattle fattening indeed is a good means of livelihood but it needs a bigger capital to sustain its operation.
