Management practices of the farmers affect the production of pigs. Knowledge on the factors
that influence management practices is essential in crafting effective interventions to help
enhance pig production. This study was conducted to determine the factors affecting the
management practices employed by the smallholder pig farmers in Biliran, Philippines. A

farmer, location of the farm, number of pigs raised, breed, production scheme adopted, mode
