1.0 INTRODUCTION
Eggscellence Farm in Milagros, Masbate, Rhode Island chicken offer a reliable
opportunity for sustainable egg production known for their adaptability, resilience, and high
egg-laying capacity, Rhode Island chicken are ideal for both small and large scale farming
with the steady demand for eggs due to their affordability and nutritional value, investing in
Rhode Island egg production can be a profitability and sustainability business.
However, the regions ability to produce eggs sustainability is threatened by a
number of issues. Market competition, disease outbreaks, climate concerns and variable feed
prices are some of the challenges farmers confront, and they all have an impact on their
profitability and productivity. The purpose of this study is to investigate the advantages and
disadvantages of Rhode Island egg production in Milagros, Masbate providing information to
assist farmers and other stakeholder in creating sustainable poultry farming plans.
According to Oluyemi and Roberts (2000) Rhode Island chicken can produce 250-
300 egg per year. They are resilient and adaptive, which makes them ideal for a range of
farming environments They are a popular choice among poultry farmers due to their strong
egg-laying capacity and decreased sensitivity to illnesses. Chicken ready to lay at age of 18-
20 weeks.
Additionally, Based from the data gathered from Philippine Statistic Authority (PSA)
Chicken egg production in the first quarter of 2018 increased by 7.42 percent, Egg production
from layer chicken comprised 84.03 percent of the estimated 130,549 metric tons total egg
production and the remaining percentage came from native chicken. Based from this, there is
a huge potential of elevating the share of organically produced chicken egg since organic
production in the Philippine is still considered in its infancy stage.
1.1 PROJECT RATIONALE
The proposed project Eggscellence production project in Milagros, Masbate aims to
develop a sustainable chicken focusing on Rhode Island breed. Enhancing local egg
production will help the agricultural economy and create livelihood opportunities for the
community.
Market potential – In the Philippines, both urban and rural areas continually have strong
demand for eggs, which are considered a staple item. The demand for a consistent local egg
supply is rising along with Masbate’s population by producing eggs locally in Milagros,
reliance on imports from other provinces will be lessened. Moreover, with its proximity to
larger urban centers, the farm has the chance to reach a wider audience.
Challenges mitigation and strategies- Like any agricultural venture, the production faces
like disease outbreaks and extreme weather condition. This can be mitigated by making the
right infrastructure investments, maintaining hygiene standard and making sure that
vaccination carried out on schedule. However, the Rhode Island breeds along with efficient
farm management, will provide a competitive edge and help build customer loyalty.
Environmental and sustainability considerations- Sustainability is a key focus of this
project. By adopting responsible waste management practices such as composting poultry
waste into organic fertilizer. To prevent disease outbreaks and maintain biosecurity, street
hygiene protocols and regular vaccination programs will be implemented. These measures
will protect the poultry stock and ensure consistent egg production.
1.2 BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
Originating from Rhode Island and Massachusetts in the 1840’s, The Rhode Island
Red breed is an iconic chicken in America. They can cross between a malay and a brown
leghorn. They have non-feathered feet and are large sized breed of chicken. Rhode Island Red
are good egg layers. They lay a large light brown eggs. These eggs are your classic brown
eggs in color. Hens will lay up to 5-6 eggs a week (up to 300 a year) making them a great
layer for a multipurpose bird. Hens will start laying egg around 18-20 weeks with adequate
diet light and calcium. The RIR lifespan is 5-8 years if well take care of.
The Rhode Island egg production project aims to support and expand the local egg
industry by enhancing production efficiency, ensuring sustainability and meeting consumer
demand. With a growing interest in locally sourced food, the project seeks to strengthen the
supply chain, provide economic opportunities for farmers and contributes to food security in
the region.

    1.0 INTRODUCTION Eggscellence Farmin Milagros, Masbate, Rhode Island chicken offer a reliable opportunity for sustainable egg production known for their adaptability, resilience, and high egg-laying capacity, Rhode Island chicken are ideal for both small and large scale farming with the steady demand for eggs due to their affordability and nutritional value, investing in Rhode Island egg production can be a profitability and sustainability business. However, the regions ability to produce eggs sustainability is threatened by a number of issues. Market competition, disease outbreaks, climate concerns and variable feed prices are some of the challenges farmers confront, and they all have an impact on their profitability and productivity. The purpose of this study is to investigate the advantages and disadvantages of Rhode Island egg production in Milagros, Masbate providing information to assist farmers and other stakeholder in creating sustainable poultry farming plans. According to Oluyemi and Roberts (2000) Rhode Island chicken can produce 250- 300 egg per year. They are resilient and adaptive, which makes them ideal for a range of farming environments They are a popular choice among poultry farmers due to their strong egg-laying capacity and decreased sensitivity to illnesses. Chicken ready to lay at age of 18- 20 weeks. Additionally, Based from the data gathered from Philippine Statistic Authority (PSA) Chicken egg production in the first quarter of 2018 increased by 7.42 percent, Egg production from layer chicken comprised 84.03 percent of the estimated 130,549 metric tons total egg production and the remaining percentage came from native chicken. Based from this, there is a huge potential of elevating the share of organically produced chicken egg since organic production in the Philippine is still considered in its infancy stage. 1.1 PROJECT RATIONALE The proposed project Eggscellence production project in Milagros, Masbate aims to develop a sustainable chicken focusing on Rhode Island breed. Enhancing local egg production will help the agricultural economy and create livelihood opportunities for the community. Market potential – In the Philippines, both urban and rural areas continually have strong demand for eggs, which are considered a staple item. The demand for a consistent local egg supply is rising along with Masbate’s population by producing eggs locally in Milagros, reliance on imports from other provinces will be lessened. Moreover, with its proximity to larger urban centers, the farm has the chance to reach a wider audience.

    Challenges mitigation andstrategies- Like any agricultural venture, the production faces like disease outbreaks and extreme weather condition. This can be mitigated by making the right infrastructure investments, maintaining hygiene standard and making sure that vaccination carried out on schedule. However, the Rhode Island breeds along with efficient farm management, will provide a competitive edge and help build customer loyalty. Environmental and sustainability considerations- Sustainability is a key focus of this project. By adopting responsible waste management practices such as composting poultry waste into organic fertilizer. To prevent disease outbreaks and maintain biosecurity, street hygiene protocols and regular vaccination programs will be implemented. These measures will protect the poultry stock and ensure consistent egg production. 1.2 BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Originating from Rhode Island and Massachusetts in the 1840’s, The Rhode Island Red breed is an iconic chicken in America. They can cross between a malay and a brown leghorn. They have non-feathered feet and are large sized breed of chicken. Rhode Island Red are good egg layers. They lay a large light brown eggs. These eggs are your classic brown eggs in color. Hens will lay up to 5-6 eggs a week (up to 300 a year) making them a great layer for a multipurpose bird. Hens will start laying egg around 18-20 weeks with adequate diet light and calcium. The RIR lifespan is 5-8 years if well take care of. The Rhode Island egg production project aims to support and expand the local egg industry by enhancing production efficiency, ensuring sustainability and meeting consumer demand.
