Abstract. This study utilized a descriptive design employing the quantitative method to analyze data using frequency counts and percentages to assess swine management practices among fifty swine raisers in Buenavista, Guimaras. Surprisingly, 6% of the herd was diagnosed with African Swine Fever (ASF), while 90% showed no symptoms, suggesting good overall health. However, relying solely on external indicators may miss preclinical cases or asymptomatic carriers. Notably, 70% of the pigs received no treatment, raising concerns about the medical practices employed. Furthermore, in 70% of cases, the type or purpose of medication was not documented, and 74% had no recorded treatment expenses, highlighting gaps in disease management and financial tracking. These findings align with previous research suggesting that swine treatment practices are inadequate or poorly documented.
