 FOREWORD

The Livestock and Poultry Quarterly Bulletin presents the estimates on the volume of
production, inventory, and average farmgate price for livestock and poultry
commodities, namely, carabao, cattle, goat, swine, dairy, chicken, chicken egg, duck,
and duck egg for January to March 2025. These commodities are highlighted in the
reports on the Value and Volume of Production in Philippine Agriculture and Fisheries
that the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) releases quarterly.

The data in this report are the results of the Livestock and Poultry Survey: Household
(LPS: H) and Livestock and Poultry Survey: Establishment (LPS: E), formerly known
as Backyard Livestock and Poultry Survey (BLPS) and Commercial Livestock and
Poultry Survey (CLPS), which are conducted quarterly by the PSA nationwide.
Administrative reports from Philippine Carabao Center and National Dairy Authority
supplement the LPS: H and LPS: E results for dairy.

Carabao

The volume of carabao production from January to March 2025 was recorded at
28.52 thousand metric tons, liveweight. This indicates an annual decline of 0.2 percent
from the 28.58 thousand metric tons, liveweight output in the same period of 2024.
This level of production was a drop from the 1.0 percent increase observed in the
same quarter in 2024. (Figure 1 and Table 1)

Eastern Visayas was the top producer of carabao with 2.93 thousand metric tons,
liveweight or 10.3 percent share to the total carabao production during the period.
Completing the top five regions with the highest volume of carabao production at
liveweight in the first quarter of 2025 were the following:
a. Negros Island Region (NIR), 2.67 thousand metric tons;
b. Northern Mindanao, 2.39 thousand metric tons;
c. Zamboanga Peninsula, 2.14 thousand metric tons; and
d. Cagayan Valley, 2.00 thousand metric tons.
These regions accounted for 42.5 percent of the country's total carabao production
during the quarter.
Relative to their outputs in the first quarter of 2024, five regions posted decreases in
their production during the period. In terms of level, Central Visayas recorded the
highest decrease of 0.41 thousand metric tons, from 1.62 thousand metric tons in the
first quarter of 2024 to 1.21 thousand metric tons in the same quarter of 2025.
(Table 1)
As of 31 March 2025, the total carabao inventory was estimated at 2.64 million heads.
This indicates a decline of 2.3 percent from its previous year’s same period count of
2.70 million heads. About 99.3 percent of the country’s carabao population came from
smallhold farms, while the remaining 0.5 percent and 0.1 percent were from
semi commercial and commercial farms, respectively. (Figure 2 and Table 2)

TECHNICAL NOTES

I. Introduction

The Livestock and Poultry Quarterly Bulletin presents the industry situation in terms of
volume of production, inventory by classification, and monthly average farmgate
prices. It serves as a ready reference for the various clients and stakeholders of the
Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA).

The data for this report were collected by PSA through the two surveys, namely,
Livestock and Poultry Survey: Household (LPS: H) and the Livestock and Poultry
Survey: Establishment (LPS: E). The title of surveys were modified from Backyard
Livestock and Poultry Survey (BLPS) and Commercial Livestock and Poultry Survey
(CLPS) to LPS: H and LPS: E, following the approval of PSA Board Resolution No. 16,
series of 2024, identified as Annex BR 16-20241115, titled Approving and Adopting the
Updated List of Designated Statistical Activities on 15 November 2024. This
modification is implemented starting First Quarter of 2025. Both surveys are conducted
quarterly in all provinces, including National Capital Region (NCR). Moreover, the
commodities covered in the surveys include: cattle, carabao, swine, goat, chicken,
chicken egg, duck, duck egg, and other animals raised/tended by households and
establishments.

The LPS: H aims to generate estimates on the supply and disposition of livestock and
poultry commodities at the household level. In the first quarter of 2025, the number of
sample households covered was 22,918 from the 1,164 selected sample barangays
nationwide. On the other hand, the LPS: E seeks to generate estimates on the supply
and disposition of livestock and poultry commodities from sample establishments.
There were 98 sample establishments for carabao; 282 sample establishments for
cattle; 203 sample establishments for goat; 699 sample establishments for swine;
85 sample establishments for dairy; 818 sample establishments for layer chicken;
957 sample establishments for broiler chicken; 145 sample establishments for
native/improved chicken sample establishments; 206 sample establishments for
gamefowl, and 168 sample establishments for duck covered in the first quarter of
2025.

For dairy estimates, the data were sourced from the administrative records of the
National Dairy Authority (NDA) and Philippine Carabao Center (PCC). The data on
volume of production for dairy cattle and dairy goat were sourced from the
administrative records of NDA, while data for dairy carabao was obtained from the
PCC-assisted dairy cooperatives. These are supplemented by data generated from
the LPS: H and LPS: E.

II. Data Collection

A. Livestock and Poultry Survey: Household

1. Data collection procedure

The field data collection for the first quarter of 2025 was conducted from
01 to 08 April 2025. The data collection was undertaken by hired

Page 3 of 14
Livestock and Poultry Quarterly Bulletin

Statistical Researchers (SRs) through face-to-face interview with qualified

respondents of the sample households using Computer-Assisted Personal
Interviewing (CAPI) method of data collection. Prior to data collection, training
of selected personnel from Field Offices, including SRs, was conducted to
ensure uniform understanding of concepts and proper implementation of survey
procedures. Field and manual editing of the accomplished questionnaires were
done to ensure completeness, consistency, and reasonableness of the
information gathered.

2. Survey Questionnaire

The LPS: H Questionnaire is a 31-page form composed of 17 blocks that aims

to gather information on the basic characteristics and operations of
the household.

last 10 days of March 2025. The data collection was undertaken by hired SRs
through face-to-face interview with qualified respondents of the establishments
using CAPI method of data collection. Prior to data collection, training of Field
Office personnel, including SRs, was conducted to ensure that the procedures
and concepts of the survey are understood and properly implemented. Field
and manual editing of the accomplished questionnaires were done to ensure
completeness, consistency, and reasonableness of the information gathered.

The consolidation form aims to gather information on the performance of dairy

in assisted/monitored dairy farms in covered areas of PCC and NDA.

The data items included in the form are as follows:

a. Total inventory of dairy animals

b. Number of breeder animals
c. Number of animals in the milkline
d. Volume of production
e. Average farmgate price

III. Sampling Design

A. Livestock and Poultry Survey: Household

1. Sampling Frame

The LPS: H sampling frame is based on the results of the 2017 Listing of
Farm Households (LFH) and 2012 Census of Agriculture and Fisheries (CAF).
For barangays not covered in the 2017 LFH, the list of households was taken
from the 2012 CAF. The sampling frame is updated quarterly based on
the status of the sampled households using structured Frame Maintenance
Form (FMF) submitted by the Provincial Statistical Offices every quarter.

Page 5 of 14
Livestock and Poultry Quarterly Bulletin

2. Sample Selection Procedure

The LPS: H uses two-stage sampling design. The first stage is the selection of
sample barangays or Primary Sampling Units (PSUs) using probability
proportional to size where the measure of size is the total animal inventory.

The second stage is the selection of sample households or Secondary

Sampling Units (SSUs) that are engaged in livestock and poultry raising in the
sampled barangays using systematic sampling.

The number of sample households per selected barangay is 20 but this could
be less if the selected barangay has less than 20 households. The sample
households per quarter are independent.

The sample size was determined based on a five percent (5%) target coefficient
of variation.

3. Domain

The domain of the survey is the province. In the case of NCR, the region is the
domain.

4. Estimation Procedure

a. Survey Weight

a.1. Base Weight

a.1.1. PSU Weight

The PSU weight is computed as follows:

𝑋
𝑤1𝑖 =
𝑎𝑋𝑖

where:
𝑤1𝑖 = PSU weight
𝑎 = barangay sample size for the province
𝑋 = total animal inventory for the province
𝑋𝑖 = animal inventory of barangay i
𝑖 = subscript for barangay

a.1.2. SSU Weight

The SSU weight is computed as follows:

𝑁𝑖
, 𝑖𝑓 ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑠𝑒ℎ𝑜𝑙𝑑 𝑗 ℎ𝑎𝑠 𝑎𝑡 𝑚𝑜𝑠𝑡 3 𝑜𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑠
𝑛𝑖
𝑤2𝑖𝑗 = 𝑁 𝑀𝑖𝑗
𝑖
× , 𝑖𝑓 ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑠𝑒ℎ𝑜𝑙𝑑 𝑗 ℎ𝑎𝑠 𝑔𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑛 3 𝑜𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑠
𝑛𝑖 𝑚𝑖𝑗
{

Page 6 of 14
 Livestock and Poultry Quarterly Bulletin

where:
𝑤2𝑖𝑗 = SSU weight
𝑁𝑖 = total number of households in barangay i
𝑛𝑖 = number of sample households in barangay i
𝑀𝑖𝑗 = total number of operators in household j of barangay i
𝑚𝑖𝑗 = number of sample operators in household j of barangay i
𝑗 = subscript for household

a.1.3. Base Weight

The base weight is the product of the PSU and SSU weights. That is,

𝑤𝑖𝑗 = 𝑤1𝑖 × 𝑤2𝑖𝑗

where:
𝑤𝑖𝑗 = base weight of household j in barangay i
𝑤1𝑖 = PSU weight
𝑤2𝑖𝑗 = SSU weight

a.2. Adjustment Factor

The adjustment factor to account for non-response is given as follows:

∑𝑎𝑖=1 ∑𝑛𝑗=1
𝑖
𝑤𝑖𝑗 𝑋1𝑖𝑗
𝐴𝑝 =
∑𝑎𝑖=1 ∑𝑛𝑗=1
𝑖
𝑤𝑖𝑗 𝑋2𝑖𝑗

where:
𝐴𝑝 = adjustment factor for province p
𝑋1𝑖𝑗 = eligible status of household j in barangay i (1 if eligible,
0 otherwise)
𝑋2𝑖𝑗 = responding status of household j in barangay i
(1 if responding, 0 otherwise)

Eligible households are the following:

a. Interview completed;
b. Refused to be interviewed without replacement;
c. Temporarily away/Not at home without replacement; and
d. HH temporarily not accessible without replacement.

Ineligible households are the following:

a. Resides outside the barangay;
b. Unknown in the locality; and
c. Deceased (No other livestock and poultry operator in the
household).

a.3. Final Weight

The final weight formula is given as follows:

𝑤𝑖𝑗′ = 𝑤𝑖𝑗 × 𝐴𝑝

Page 7 of 14
Livestock and Poultry Quarterly Bulletin

where:
𝑤′𝑖𝑗 = final weight for province p
𝑤𝑖𝑗 = base weight of household j in barangay i
𝐴𝑝 = adjustment factor for province p

b. Estimation of Total

b.1. Estimation of Provincial Total

b.1.1. Estimation of provincial total is done per animal type and the
formula is given as follows:
𝑎 𝑛𝑖
𝑌̂𝑝 = ∑ ∑ 𝑤𝑖𝑗′ 𝑦𝑖𝑗
𝑖=1 𝑗=1

where:
𝑌̂𝑝 = estimated total for province p
𝑦𝑖𝑗 = survey data (inventory, production, etc.) for household j in
barangay i

b.1.2. For the average farmgate price, the provincial estimate is

computed by summing up the product of farmgate prices and its
corresponding final weight. The result is then divided by the sum of the
final weight of all sample households with responses in farmgate price.
The formula is given as follows:

∑𝑎𝑖=1 ∑𝑛𝑗=1
𝑖
𝑤𝑖𝑗′ 𝑦𝑖𝑗
F̂𝑝 =
∑𝑎𝑖=1 ∑𝑛𝑗=1
𝑖
𝑤′′𝑖𝑗

where:
F̂𝑝 = average farmgate price of the province
𝑤′′𝑖𝑗 = final weight of household j with response in average
farmgate price

b.2. Estimation of Regional and National Total

b.2.1. The regional total estimates are obtained by aggregating the

estimates for the provinces within the region, while the national estimate
is derived by adding all the regional estimates obtained in each region.

b.2.2. The computation of regional farmgate prices are computed by

summing up the product of farmgate prices and volume of production by
province. The result is then divided to the sum of the volume of
production in all the provinces in the region. The formula is given as
follows:

∑𝑟𝑝=1 F̂𝑝𝑖 𝑌̂𝑝𝑖

F̂𝑟 =
∑𝑟𝑝=1 𝑌̂𝑝𝑖

Page 8 of 14
 Livestock and Poultry Quarterly Bulletin

where:
F̂𝑟 = average farmgate price of the region r
F̂𝑝𝑖 = average farmgate price of the province p of survey i
𝑌̂𝑝𝑖 = volume of production of the province p of survey i

b.2.3. The computation for national farmgate prices is similar with that
of the regional farmgate price.

B. Livestock and Poultry Survey: Establishment

1. Sampling Frame

The LPS: E frame is based on the results of the 2023 Updating of the List of
Establishments (ULE). It is updated quarterly based on the results of visit of the
sample establishments using the FMF.

2. Sample Selection Procedure

The LPS: E uses stratified probability proportional to size sampling design,

where the establishment is the primary sampling unit. The animal type serves
as a stratification variable and the size measure is the maximum farm/housing
capacity of the establishment. Per animal type, the establishments are sorted
by maximum farm/housing capacity and sample establishments are selected
using systematic sampling. A panel sample establishment is maintained for a
year and a new set of samples is selected during the first quarter of the next
year.

Complete Enumeration (CE) is applied for provinces with less than

25 commercial establishments, otherwise, sampling is used.

3. Domain

The domain of the survey is the province. In the case of NCR, the region is
the domain.

4. Estimation Procedure

a. Survey Weight

a.1. Base Weight

The base weight per animal type is given as follows:

𝑋
𝑤𝑖 =
𝑎𝑋𝑖

Page 9 of 14
Livestock and Poultry Quarterly Bulletin

where:
𝑤𝑖 = base weight of establishment i
𝑎 = number of sample establishments in the province
𝑋𝑖 = maximum farm/housing capacity of establishment i
𝑋 = total maximum farm/housing capacity of the province

a.2. Adjustment Factor

The adjustment factor to account for non-response is given as follows:

∑𝑎𝑖=1 𝑤𝑖 𝑋1𝑖
𝐴𝑝 =
∑𝑎𝑖=1 𝑤𝑖 𝑋2𝑖

where:
𝐴𝑝 = adjustment factor for province p
𝑋1𝑖 = eligible status of establishment i (1 if eligible, 0 otherwise)
𝑋2𝑖 = responding status of establishment i (1 if responding,
0 otherwise)
Eligible establishments are the following:
a. Operational
b. Refusal
c. Cannot be contacted/Not accessible

Ineligible establishments are the following:

a. Temporarily Stopped Operation
b. Permanently Closed/Stopped Operation
c. Shifted Farm Operation
d. Cannot Be Located
e. Duplicate
f. Out of scope - Recreation
g. Out of scope - Change Sector
h. Out of scope - Main Office/Ancillary Unit

a.3. Final Weight

The final weight formula is given as follows:

𝑤𝑖′ = 𝑤𝑖 × 𝐴𝑝

where:
𝑤’𝑖 = final weight of establishment i
𝑤𝑖 = base weight of establishment i
𝐴𝑝 = adjustment factor for province p

b. Estimation

b.1. Estimation for the Province

b.1.1. Estimation of provincial total is done per animal type and the
formula is given as follows:

Page 10 of 14
 Livestock and Poultry Quarterly Bulletin

𝑎
𝑌̂𝑝 = ∑ 𝑤𝑖′ 𝑦𝑖
𝑖=1

where:
𝑌̂𝑝 = estimated total for province p
𝑦𝑖 = survey data (inventory, production, etc.) for establishment i

b.1.2. For the average farmgate price, the provincial estimate is

computed by summing up the product of farmgate prices and its
corresponding final weight. The result is then divided by the sum of the
final weight of all sample establishments with responses in farmgate
price. The formula is given as follows:

∑𝑎𝑖=1 𝑤𝑖′ 𝑦𝑖
F̂𝑝 =
∑𝑎𝑖=1 𝑤′′𝑖

where:
F̂𝑝 = average farmgate price of the province
𝑤′′𝑖 = final weight of establishment i with response in average
farmgate price

b.2. Estimation of Regional and National Total

b.2.1. The regional total estimates are obtained by aggregating the
estimates for the provinces within the region, while the national
estimates are derived by adding all the regional estimates obtained in
each region.

b.2.2. The computation of regional farmgate prices are computed by

summing up the product of farmgate prices and volume of production by
province. The result is then divided to the sum of the volume of
production in all the provinces in the region. The formula is given as
follows:

∑𝑟𝑝=1 F̂𝑝𝑖 𝑌̂𝑝𝑖

F̂𝑟 =
∑𝑟𝑝=1 𝑌̂𝑝𝑖

where:
F̂𝑟 = average farmgate price of the region r
F̂𝑝𝑖 = average farmgate price of the province p of survey i
𝑌̂𝑝𝑖 = volume of production of the province p of survey i

b.2.3. The computation for national farmgate prices is similar with that
of the regional farmgate price.

C. Livestock and Poultry Survey: Household and Establishment

1. Estimation Procedure

a. Estimation

a.1. Production and Inventory

a.1.1. The total production and inventory at the provincial, regional, and
national level is computed by simply summing up the estimates coming
from LPS: H and LPS: E.

a.2. Farmgate Prices

a.2.1. The provincial farmgate prices are computed by aggregating up

the product of farmgate prices and volume of production by survey. The
result is then divided to the sum of the volume of production. The formula
is given as follows:

∑𝑎𝑖=1 F̂𝑝𝑖 𝑌̂𝑝𝑖

F̂𝑝 =
∑𝑎𝑖=1 𝑌̂𝑝𝑖

where:
F̂𝑝 = average farmgate price of the province p
F̂𝑝𝑖 = average farmgate price of the province p of survey i
𝑌̂𝑝𝑖 = volume of production of the province p of survey i

a.2.2. The computation for regional and national farmgate prices is

similar with that of the provincial farmgate price.

IV. Consolidation of Dairy Estimates

To estimate the dairy production, the data generated from LPS: H and LPS: E are then
aggregated to the administrative data obtained from PCC and NDA. To avoid
duplicates in the recording of data, the PSA only includes the milk produced that were
not sold to PCC and NDA-assisted cooperatives.

V. Concepts and Definitions of Terms

Farmgate price refers to the price received by raisers for their produce at the location
of farm. Thus, marketing costs, such as the transport and other marketing costs
(if any) incurred in selling the produce, are not included in the farmgate prices.

Inventory refers to the actual number of animals present in the farm as of a specific
reference date.

Volume of production refers to the number of tended/raised animals disposed for

slaughter/dressing, including those which were shipped out for slaughter. This is
expressed in metric tons, liveweight.
