The Perceived Benefits of Farmers and Pet Owners on The Effect of Using Madre De Cacao and Aloe Vera Soap-Based Formulae for Animal Care

This study focused on the “The Perceived Benefits Of Farmers And Pet Owners On The Effect Of Using Madre De Cacao And Aloe Vera Soap-Based Formulae For Animal Care”. This research was conducted at the experimental area of SSC School of Agriculture, Gandasuli, Patikul, Sulu, from February 03, 2024, to April 08, 2024. It especially sought to answer the following queries:
1. What are the perceived benefits of JAANNS soap to the farmers and pet owners?
2. What are the effects of JAANNS soap on the animal’s skin as observed by farmers and pet owners?
3. Is there a significant difference on the perceived benefits of JAANNS soap according to the pet owners and farmers?
This study explores the preferences of farmers and pet owners regarding the use of Madre de Cacao (Gliricidia sepium) and Aloe vera soap-based formulas for animal care, with a focus on their perceived effectiveness, benefits, and overall satisfaction. Madre de Cacao is traditionally known for its antifungal, antibacterial, and antiparasitic properties, making it a common choice for animal care, particularly in addressing skin diseases, wounds, and parasites. Meanwhile, Aloe vera is recognized for its soothing, moisturizing, and healing effects, offering potential benefits in improving skin conditions and overall hygiene in animals.
This study aimed to determine the preference of farmers and pet owners regarding the effects of using Madre de Cacao and Aloe Vera soap-based formulae (JAANNS soap) for animal care. The research employed a quantitative method through the use of a survey questionnaire to gather data from both farmers and pet owners.
The study employed a survey-based approach to gather data from farmers and pet owners regarding their experiences, preferences, and observations when using soap-based formulas containing these natural ingredients. Key variables included effectiveness in addressing animal skin issues (e.g., mange, itching, wounds), ease of use, safety for animals, cost efficiency, and environmental impact. Statistical analysis was applied to determine trends and significant preferences between the two groups.
The findings revealed that there Is no significant difference in the effects of the soap between animals owned by farmers and those owned by pet owners. This indicates that both groups’ animals can benefit equally from the use of JAANNS soap.
