The students from Buga National High School's Animal Production class went on a field trip to the Research Station for Philippine Native Chicken located in Leon. The station's caretaker, Mr. Froilan Cabarles, gave the students a tour of the facilities including the feed milling area, chicken housings, and breeding area. The students observed the chickens and learned about the station's operations from water sourcing to housing costs. The tour provided the students with hands-on experience to further their knowledge of poultry production.

1. Narrative Report
Last 30th
of July 2015, the students of Buga National High School, Animal
Production class conducted an outdoor activity at the Research Station for Philippine
Native Chicken located in the town of Leon. The institute was built by the Central
Philippine University to facilitate the practicum and actual performances on Senior High
School in the chosen field of TVL. The said outdoor activity is to furthermore widen the
student’s knowledge about their tackled topic regarding poultry production.
The activity was spearheaded by the T.L.E, Animal Production teacher, Mr. Joey
Glenn Cabana with the support of the Buga National High School principal, Mrs. Loida
C. Catalinio. Renting three tricycles, the students and their teacher, went on a small ride
up to the Benigno Aquino Bridge which links the two banks of the Sibalom River. The
research institute was just a short uphill trek from the bridge and was shaded by trees.
The main building of the institute was situated on a flat clearing atop the hill and also
contained their very own feed mill in which the institute’s own supply of feeds were
made. A part also served as the temporary living quarters of the caretaker.
The students arrived at the institute a few minutes after ten and was welcomed
warmly and wholeheartedly by the caretaker, Mr. Froilan Cabarles. At first, the students
were just oriented by Mr. Cabarles about the research institute and then led them to the
feed mill. The feed mill consists of a hammer mill which is used for grinding raw
materials such as oysters, a feed mixing machine, and a pelleting machine for converting
mixedn feed into pellets.

2. Mr. Cabarles showed the students the finished product and let them actually to
have contact with it to feel its texture. There were questions asked before leaving
towards the brooder area. The brooder area wasn’t entirely finished so the students
proceeded uphill to the area where actual research were made. The weather had been
inclement the other day, causing the path to be slippery and muddy and unfortunately
harder to climb. The students had a hard time climbing up the steep path.
One housing enabled the research named “Determination of Chick Quantitative
Phenotypic traits associated with Growth Performance”. Chickens were evenly separated
in cages in each housing for more precise observation of every sample. Outside each
housing were washing stations provided with good deal of clean water for the compliance
of proper sanitation that is to be observed. A student asked from where all the water
supply was coming. According to Mr. Cabarles, they dug up a well and the water was
stored in a water tank up the hill.
The housings were randomly separated in the area and housed quite a number of
fowl. There were some born with mutated genes, causing an abnormality of having a
longer leg. Due to the noon heat, the chickens acted a little bit out of their habits; they
constantly drink water on their waterer and flap their wings almost constantly.
With Mr. Cabarles on the lead, the students climbed up the muddy and steep path
into the grower area. The grower area as what Mr. Cabarles said was made up of 20
housings and nurtured egg laying chickens. As they climbed up higher, the vegetation

3. becomes thicker. Out of mere curiosity, a student asked if snakes were present in the area
and Mr. Cabarles said that those were hunted out during the construction and some other
reptiles were present but were already extinguished out. The party climbed higher up to
the breeding area and reached a fork in the road leading to the phases of the breeding
area. The breeding area is open space with small shed for the hens to incubate their eggs
until they hatch. There were free flowing waterers in the breeding area. The students took
pictures of hens laying in the haystacks before proceeding to the other phases.
On the way, they passed another housing for the research “Determination of the
Effectiveness of VCO As topical treatment for Caponizing”.
The party descended down a few minutes before eleven. The students gathered in
the shed of the main building for a small discussion before the students leave. According
to Mr. Cabarles, a housing costs about 28,000 to 30,000 thousand pesos. He added that
the institute is always open to those who wanted to visit. The students embarked back to
Buga National High School about a few minutes after eleven.

4. Mr. Cabarles showed the
students the feed milling area.
The finished product from the
feed mill was shown to the students .

5. The fowls were
comfortably resting in
their housings.
The feed
mill in which
feeds are being
mixed.

6. The small discussion
after the tour around the
research area.
The machine for
turning the finished
feeds into pellet feeds.

7. The chickens were gathering in
the waterer due to the heat.
The fowls scattered freely in the
housing and was trying to repel
the heat.
