INTRODUCTION

The student trainee experiences a lot of things through the pace of on-the-

job training, gaining a vast experience of expertise on the field he chooses

particularly in the real world working setting. The on-the-job training was

executed in MWM Hog Farm, at Barangay Tangle, Mexico Pampanga because it

is near where the trainee lives. At the farm the trainee experiences tending the

cattle, cleaning the manure and feeding them on a different cycle like rice straw,

grass, rice bran, adding molasses and tending secondary task like feeding the

chickens and duck, looking out for their eggs. In general the on-the-job training

was successful not only for the purpose of the completion for the subject or in

order to graduate college but it also gives a lifetime wisdom and knowledge on

the importance of patience and perseverance in getting in the field of cattle

farming.

On-the-job Training is part of a college curriculum that aims to train and

orient students about the work and their future career. In this competitive world,

training plays an important role in the competent and challenging format of

business. Training is the nerve that suffices the need of fluent and smooth

functioning of work which helps in enhancing the quality of work life of employees

and organizational development too. Development is a process that leads to

qualitative as well as quantitative advancements in the organization, especially at

the managerial level, it is less considered with physical skills and is more

concerned with knowledge, values, attitudes and behaviour in addition to specific

1
skills. Hence, development can be said as a continuous process whereas training

has specific areas and objectives. So, every organization needs to study the role,

importance and advantages of training and its positive impact on development for

the growth of the organization. Quality of work life is a process in which the

organization recognizes their responsibility for excellence of organizational

performance as well as employee skills. Training implies constructive

development in such organizational motives for optimum enhancement of quality

of work life of the employees. These types of training and development programs

help in improving the employee behaviour and attitude towards the job and also

uplift their morale. Thus, employee training and development programs are

important aspects which are needed to be studied and focused on. This paper

focuses and analyses the literature findings on importance of training and

development and its relation with the employees’ quality of work life. (Kulkarni,

2013)

Nowadays, for development employees to achieve new knowledge and

technology, culture building and improvement of staff performance, organizations

hold different job-training courses. Therefore, measurement training

effectiveness and its impact on employee performance has a lot of importance.

(Barzegar & Farjad, 2011)

Training is essential to the growth and economic well-being of a nation.

This need for training pervades all levels of industry, for a national level where a

country’s well being in enhanced by training, to each company where productivity

2
is improved, down to the individual whose skills are enhanced and as a result

improve their position in the workplace. (Alipour et al., 2009)

Training is one of the most pervasive methods for enhancing individual

productivity and improving job performance in the work environment (Gupta &

Bostrom, 2006).

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

Experiencing on-the-job training is a gain for the students because it

prepares them in an employee setting where they can do physical work following

a given task that must be accomplished before the day ends. According to Lisa

Mcquerrey (2014) On-the-job training is a practical way of introducing new

employees to the workplace by providing them hands-on learning opportunities

and instruction. Typically, employees are briefed and then paired with a

seasoned colleague who shows them the ropes. The employee can then

transition into completing tasks on her own while under supervision.

In this competitive world, training plays an important role in the competent

and challenging format of business. Training is the nerve that suffices the need

of fluent and smooth functioning of work which helps in enhancing the quality of

work life of employees and organizational development too. Development is a

process that leads to qualitative as well as quantitative advancements in the

organization, especially at the managerial level, it is less considered with physical

skills and is more concerned with knowledge, values, attitudes and behaviour in

addition to specific skills. Hence, development can be said as a continuous

process whereas training has specific areas and objectives. So, every

organization needs to study the role, importance and advantages of training and

its positive impact on development for the growth of the organization. Quality of

work life is a process in which the organization recognizes their responsibility for

excellence of organizational performance as well as employee skills. Training

implies constructive development in such organizational motives for optimum

enhancement of quality of work life of the employees. These types of training and

development programs help in improving the employee behaviour and attitude

towards the job and also uplift their morale. Thus, employee training and

development programs are important aspects which are needed to be studied

and focused on. This paper focuses and analyses the literature findings on

importance of training and development and its relation with the employees’

quality of work life. (Kulkarni, 2013)

In 2022, the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) estimated the country’s

beginning inventory of dairy cattle (female dairy animals only) at 9,949 head,

while there are 7,120 buffalo, and 13,147 goats. The number of dairy goats is

growing due to more imports, with the NDA focusing on providing goats for the

livelihood of small farmers. The dairy cattle herd has been declining due to

refreshing of old animals and slaughter of cows for meat.

Production is dominated by small farmers, with a few medium-to-large

farms operated by entrepreneurs. In the dairy cattle sector, farms are small if

they have 5-10 cows; medium farms have 11-50 head; and commercial farms or

large farms have over 50 head. For dairy buffalo, farms with 5-10 animals are

smallholders, medium farms have more than 10 head, and commercial farms

have 25 head and above. For dairy goats, smallholders are those with 25 head

and below, medium farms have 26-99 head, and commercial farms have over

100 head. The Philippine average milk production is 10 liters/day for dairy cows,

4.5 li/day for buffalo, and 1.5 li/day for goats. Production remains low mainly due

to poor feeding and management practices as a result of high production costs

and lack of adequate infrastructure.

In comparison, the average daily milk yield in the United States is around

30 li/day. Cheese production is minimal, coming from low domestic supply. Cow’s

milk and buffalo milk are procured for processing into fresh white cheese, milk

candy, and ice cream. Two companies in the Philippines buy buffalo milk direct

from producers, and process and distribute buffalo milk ice cream. The

government-owned Dairy Training and Research Institute (DTRI) and Philippine

6
Carabao Center (PCC) produce white cheese from locally produced milk. There

are also growing Indian communities in the country that prefer to buy buffalo

milk-derived Indian-type cheeses

Dairy consumption reached 3 million MT in 2021, with the vast majority

supplied by imports. With an expanding middle class and a growing population,

the Philippines is a large and expanding market for dairy products with annual

per capita consumption of 27 kilograms. In comparison, the United States

consumes 287 kg per capita of dairy, showing that there remain ample

opportunities for food manufacturers to offer more packaged dairy products in the

Philippines. The Philippine population stands at 115 million in 2022, the 13th

largest in the world, and growing 1.4 percent annually. Prior to the pandemic, this

population growth was paired with the third fastest economic expansion in Asia.

The country’s economy is expected to grow this year by about 6 percent,

following a 5 percent growth in 2021.

METHODOLOGY

Time and Place of the Study


The On-The-Job Training took place at MWM Hog Farm at Sitio Wakas

Barangay Tangle, Mexico Pampanga. The trainee started last June 08, 2023 and

ended last July 18, 2023.

Historical Background

Milabel Manabat Mandani, a mother of two and a loving wife and a great

mother to her children. She was raised by her parents full of love. Her parents

were farmers who used to plant crops to feed their families. Milabel is a loving,

helpful, and caring daughter and sister. Due to the difficulties of life, Milabel

worked hard to lift her family out of poverty and because of her hard work,

dedication, and loyalty to what she does, Milabel has achieved her dream and

her most hopeful comfort in life and that is to have a farm business. Brief History

of the Farm MWM Hog Farm (formerly Pecson Farm) is located at Sitio Wakas

Barangay Tangle Mexico, Pampanga. It is owned by the former Mayor of

Magalang, Mr. Romulo F. Pecson, but now it is being rented and managed by

Mrs. Milabel M. Mandani, MWM means M for Milabel, W for Wiro the eldest child

of Mrs. Mandani and lastly the letter M for Musika the youngest child of the

owner. The farm has a land area of 13 hectares. It is about 10 kilometers from

Magalang Public Market. During the period of OJT’s the farm has a population of

cows, bull and calf. The breeders---- It has a monitor type building an open sided,

double sloped roof shed and it has a two employees/workers.

8
METHOD OF DUTIES

The task and activities on the farm are observing and feeding the cattle,

cleaning the farm, specifically the cow manure, and transferring the grass into the

cow pens and cow shed from the truck. And we also do additional tasks like

feeding the ducks and chickens and watering the plants. The trainees work

schedule is from Monday to Saturday, 8:00 in the morning to 6:00 pm.

9
LEARNING BY DOING

In two months of training at MWM Hog Farm, the trainee learned a lot of

things and skills on how to take care a cattle farm. The trainee is grateful for the

help of the owner Mrs. Milabel Mandani, to her patience on answering every

question that the trainees asked. All of what the trainee learned in cattle industry

will remain in the hearts of the trainee for the future use.

FEEDING

In two months of training at MWM Hog Farm, the trainee learned a lot

about feeding cows and the importance of adequate feeding cycle to maintain

their health and strategy on feeding cycle of cattles, like spraying molasses on

rice straw and transferring grasses to pens for cows and buffaloes and mixing

rice bran and corn grits with molasses to fed them.

CLEANING

In two months of training at MWM Hog Farm, the trainee learned vast

knowledge about the importance of cleaning cow pens, cow shed, food

containers, hallways, and rest house; cleaning the cow pens and shed, it is

necessary to scrape the piled manure to prevent accidental slippage, scrape the

cow manure using a cow manure floor scraper, pushing it and stock it outside the

cow pens, using shovels to move the cow manure to the dump, cleaning the food

containers by sweeping to clear out the manure or leftover rice straw, same with

hallways, trainees scrape the floor to clear out cow manure and spilled rice straw.

Lastly, trainee clean the resting house daily to clear out chicken manure and

10
sometimes cow manure. These are the things that the trainee learned from

cleaning the whole farm.

PUTTING MOLASSES

In two months of training at MWM Hog Farm, trainee learned a lot about

putting, mixing, and spraying molasses to the rice straw, rice bran, and corn grits.

Mixing molasses in the rice straw, trainee put the rice straw first in the food

container before spraying the molasses, then mixing molasses with rice bran and

corn grits. The trainee will put the rice bran on the floor of cow shed; afterwards

the trainee will put the corn grits and the molasses to mix it properly until it

combines.

PROPER MIXTURE OF FOOD

In two months of training at MWM Hog Farm, the trainee learned a lot

about the proper mixture of foods like what we call two to one which is two

bucket of rice bran and one bucket of corn grits, then mixing it using shovel. After

mixing the mixture will be fed to cattle.

11
SUMMARY

In May 2023, the trainee received orientation from OJT Coordinator Mr.

Jansen Joshua L. Canlas for the program's requirement to complete 300 hours in

a real-world working environment. The students were given orientations during

which the dos and don'ts of putting the program in place were sternly addressed.

These orientations included all the requirements that must be met before

beginning the aforementioned on-the-job training.

In Sitio Wakas, Barangay Tangle Mexico, Pampanga, the trainee began

her on-the-job training at the company of her choice, the MWM Hog Farm. Mrs.

Milabel Mandani, the farm's owner, interviewed and oversaw the trainees and

gave them instructions on their main tasks as well as other tasks they may

complete in addition to those if they had finished their primary ones. So on the

trainee's first day, the owner accompanied them to the farm itself to show them

the work they should do first for the first day. Then after that the following days

until the end, from Monday to Saturday, the trainee was required to report to the

owner at 8:00 a.m. and work until 6:00 p.m. The trainee was assigned a

responsibility as part of the training that involved caring for the farm, particularly

the cows and carabaos, by feeding them, cleaning their pens and sheds, and

also observing them if there were injured cattle or newborns. Before the training

of the students was over, the Artificial Insemination that could be used or done

for proper breeding was also discussed with them. Feeding the chickens and

ducks, watering the plants, and cleaning the rest house are extra tasks.

12
The trainee completed the required 300 hours of on-the-job training,

beginning on June 8th, 2023, and ending on July 18th, 2023. This training helped

the trainee to maintain being a hardworking and persistent person that no matter

how difficult the work is, you have to do it with diligence and love for what you do.

There is no big or small job as long as you do it with full honesty, and the most

important thing is not stooping on other people for your own good or desire.

13
CONCLUSION

The pace of on-the-job training exposes the student trainee to a wide

range of experiences, giving her a deep understanding of the subject the trainee

selects, particularly in the context of a real-world workplace. The trainee works

on the farm tending the cattle, cleaning the manure, and feeding them on a

different cycle with rice straw, grass, rice bran, and corn grits adding molasses,

as well as tending side tasks like feeding the chickens and ducks and looking out

for their eggs. In general, the on-the-job training was successful not only for the

aim of finishing the subject or in order to graduate college, but it also delivers

lifetime wisdom and information on the significance of perseverance and

patience in order to enter the area of cattle farming in the future.

14
PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED

Every trainee’s experience some problem upon the completion of the on-

the-job training and upon this experiences are some recommendation in mind.

INBREEDING

One of the difficulties of the farm is inbreeding since the farm doesn’t have

a caretaker cattle and buffaloes are free to do the inbreeding since they are

scattered and not trapped in their cages, it can result in increasing risk of

undesirable genes and a reduction in genetic diversity.

NO RECORDKEEPING

In the world of business, keeping no official records is not normal because

they reveal whether a company is profitable or not.

LACK OF FARM WORKERS

Every farm is in need of a worker that is what MWM Hog farm lack of,

because workers in there are only command to do rations of food to cattle and

then go out, it was only a secondary job for them. The result of not having a

regular worker in the farm tend put the farm at risk like inbreeding and the

cleanliness of farm is at risk for they only hire workers to clean the cattle farm

when the manure is much to handle.

15
NO PROPER FARM MANAGEMENT

Management is one the most important part of putting up a business and

MWM hog farm doesn’t have it because as I’ve said no proper caring to the place

and to the cattle. Cattle tend to be wild because they are just roaming around the

farm and does not see people often.

NO PROPER FARM FACILITES

As I’ve observed the farm is not inclined to innovation and the farm works

tend to be heavy and done manually as other farms are engaging in the easy

way of feeding and maintaining the cleanliness and not time consuming works

inside the farm.

16
RECOMMENDATIONS

INBREEDING

It is advised to perform an Artificial Insemination (AI) with the cattle and

buffalo to avoid inbreeding. By doing this, the farm will not experience fewer

occurrences like having undesirable genes and a reduction in genetic diversity.

NO FINANCIAL REPORT

In the world of business, keeping no official records is not normal as they

disclose a company's production profitability. The trainee recommends the owner

to keep financial records or to employ someone to manage the farm's books. To

determine the profitability of the mentioned farm and eliminate wasteful spending,

a financial report is required.

LACK OF FARM WORKERS

It is advised to put regular farm workers in the cattle farm to properly

manage the business and tend the farm daily to put a system in the farm. By

doing this the farm will be properly clean and the cattle can eat properly too.

NO PROPER FARM MANAGEMENT

It is advised to hire someone who is capable of handling a cattle business,

which will be the secretary, by doing this there are someone in authority who can

command and observe the situation of the farm whether it is growing up or going

down.

17
NO PROPER FARM FACILITES

It is advised to indulge in farm innovation and renovation, investing in

proper facility and strategic building of facility to lessen the manual labour and

lessen the time in working, by doing it, it is possible that the farm management

can find a worker willing to work because of the easiness of the job.
