Profiling system for DMMMSU-SRDI cocoon producer
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University- North La Union Campus, 2024-01) Oler, Reychelle S.; Lacaden, Algore T.
The study aimed to develop a profiling system for DMMMSU-SRDI to provide a platform where employees can profile information on cocoon producers. Specifically, this study sought to a) determine the current problem in the recording of information, b) assess the ICT resources profile, c) evaluate the readiness of the developed system, d) determine the socio-demographic profile of the respondents, e) evaluate the vulnerability of the developed system; f) assess the acceptability of the developed system;
The results were as follows: a) the developed system can be an effective tool to assist employers at DMMMSU-SRDI in profiling information of their cocoon producer; b) the institute is capable of implementing the developed system, with regards to hardware, software, network infrastructure, and security; c) DMMMSU-SRDI’s director, admin and staff are positive about implementing the system; d) Most of the respondents are both female and male, within the age group 26-30; and with a salary of Php 10,000 and below; e) the system can resist vulnerability attacks; f) the developed
system is acceptable in all indicators.
Stability, acceptability, and efficacy of kakawate (Gliricidia sepium) enriched with citronella (Cymbopogon nardus) soap against mange in dogs
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2025-04) Sobrevilla, Lyka M.
This study aimed to: (1) evaluate the stability of kakawate and citronella oil extract soap in terms of physical, chemical, and microbiological properties, (2) assess the demographic profile of dog owners, (3) determine the soap's acceptability and effectiveness for treating sarcoptic and demodectic mange in dogs, and (4) perform a cost analysis of the soap.
Experimental research design was used to evaluate the stability of the soap using three (3) soap replicates. Descriptive research design was used to assess the demographic profile, acceptability and efficacy of the soap gathered from thirty (30) dogs randomly selected. The collected data were tabulated, and analyzed using descriptive statistics.
The soap remained stable physically and chemically with no microbial growth. The demographic profile showed that fifty percent (50%) were female. The soap was highly rated for its characteristics and effectiveness in managing external parasites. Efficacy suggests that the soap is effective. Cost analysis suggests high profitability.

Clinical evaluation of gel bandage made from chicken feet gelatin and mayana extract (Coleus scutellarioides, l. benth.) as treatment for burn wounds in adult mice
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2025-05) Reyes, Grace Yobhel N.
This study was conducted to: (1) determine the inflammation score, (2) determine the contraction rate and epithelialization period, (3) determine the most effective concentration, and (4) determine the cost of gel bandage made from chicken feet gelatin (CFG) and mayana leaf extract (MLE) and compare it with commercially available Burncare® Hydrogel Burn Dressing.
Concentrations of CFG and MLE at 75%, 50%, and 25% were tested. Twenty-five mice were randomly distributed in five treatments. The gathered data was evaluated using ANOVA.
The 25% CFG with 75% MLE had completed contraction at day 18 and completed epithelialization at day 15, was the most effective concentration and is more cost-effective than Burncare® Hydrogel Burn Dressing in treating burn wounds in adult mice.

Stability, acceptability, and efficacy of aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis) gel enriched kakawate (Gliricidia sepium) soap against mange in dogs
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2025-04) Ramos, Russelle Joyce S.
This study was able to: (1) evaluate the stability of kakawate-aloe vera gel soap in terms of physical, chemical, and microbiological properties; (2) assess the demographic profile of dog owners; (3) determine the acceptability of the soap and evaluate its effectivity; and (4) perform cost analysis of the soap.
To assess the product stability, and demographic profile & acceptability among owners, the data from thirty (30) dogs were tabulated and analyzed using frequency, counts, percentages & means. Efficacy was studied by the frequency of perceived effectiveness of the soap. Cost analysis was computed using the ROI formula.
The soap initially lacked foam but stabilized between days 21 and 51. Microbiological tests using EMB agar were negative. Most respondents were female, owned one to two dogs, and bathed them weekly. The soap received high ratings in terms of fragrance, appearance, lather, affordability. Efficacy results showed significant
improvement. Cost analysis suggests high profitability.

Molecular detection of african swine fever in blood samples from slaughterhouses in District 1, La Union
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2025-04) Orine, Kimberly G.
African Swine Fever (ASF) poses severe economic and agricultural challenges due to its high mortality rate and the absence of an effective vaccine.
This study detects the prevalence of ASF in District 1 of La Union using quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) as the diagnostic tool. Data on the total slaughtered pigs from the municipalities of District 1, La Union were obtained from the Department of Agriculture. Sixty-two (62) pig blood samples were collected. Extraction of DNA were performed using the Wizard® Genomic DNA Purification Kit and TaqMan qPCR assay. Prevalence rate was calculated by dividing the ASF positive samples by the number of samples, then multiplying the result by one hundred (100).
The findings revealed the number of daily slaughtered pigs after the emergence of ASF. There was zero percent (0%) ASF prevalence rate among the pigs. Consequently, an epidemiological map could not be developed.
