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.
Soap-Based, Aloe Vera, Madre De Cacao
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in utilizing natural and herbal remedies for animal care, as
farmers and pet owners increasingly seek sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives to chemical-based products.

Among these natural remedies, Madre de cacao (Gliricidia sepium) and Aloe Vera stand out for their potential
benefits in treating skin conditions and promoting overall health in animals.
Madre de cacao, a tropical leguminous tree, has long been recognized for its medicinal properties, particularly
de cacao, a tropical leguminous tree, has long been recognized for its medicinal properties, particularly in pest
control, wound healing, and skin treatment. It contains tannins and other compounds that have insecticidal and
antiparasitic effects, making it popular among farmers in rural areas for treating mange, ticks, and other parasitic
infestations in livestock and pets. Similarly, Aloe Vera, a succulent plant widely known for its soothing and
healing properties, has been used to treat burns, skin irritations, and wounds in both humans and animals. Its
antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and moisturizing effects make it a promising ingredient in animal care
products.
The use of Madre de cacao and Aloe vera in soap-based formulae offers a natural approach to managing skin
conditions and protecting the health of animals. This is particularly significant in farming communities, where
the health and productivity of livestock are essential for livelihood, and among pet owners who prioritize the
well-being of their companion animals. However, while these natural ingredients are traditionally known for
their benefits, there is a need to assess their efficacy and acceptability when formulated into soap for regular
animal care
This study aims to evaluate the preferences of farmers and pet owners regarding the use of soap-based formulae
containing Madre de cacao and Aloe vera. By understanding their preferences, the study seeks to explore the
perceived effectiveness, ease of use, and overall satisfaction with these natural soap products compared to
conventional alternatives. The insights gained from this research may contribute to the promotion of more
sustainable and health-conscious animal care practices.
Aloe contains enzymes that help heal itchy skin and reduce inflammation. Aloe vera also contains around 75
other components that give it healing properties. These include: Vitamins A, C, and E (antioxidants that
neutralize free radicals) Vitamin B12, folic acid, and choline Minerals like calcium, copper, magnesium,
potassium, and zinc
Anthraquinones (often used to relieve constipation) Lignin (stimulates digestion)
Saponins (cleansing and antiseptic effect) Salicylic acids (an exfoliant) 20 Amino acids (including 8 of the 10
essential amino acids for dogs) Hormones Fatty acids and sugars
These components lend anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antiseptic properties. Cats often suffer from various
skin issues, such as allergies, infections, and dryness. Aloe vera is known for its natural anti-inflammatory and
antibacterial properties, which can benefit your cat’s skin. The mucopolysaccharides present in aloe vera help
bind moisture into the skin, which is great for cats with dry or irritated skin. The natural salicylic acid in aloe
vera can also act as a pain reliever, helping to ease discomfort from scratches or bites.

In this chapter, the researcher discussed how to properly formulate the JAANNS soap by enumerating and
discussing the physical properties of each ingredient and discussing how those ingredients help the different
kinds of skin problems of animals.
Madre de cacao and aloe vera were collected; it's free and can be found in one of the research gardens, and the
distilled water can be bought from any water refilling station within Jolo Sulu. soap-based, soap molder, pillow
pack packaging 70g, and mini vacuum sealer that can be found on Shopee, while the sticker can be printed in
any computer shop.
The researcher's ingredients in making JAANNS soap are the extract of the Madre de cacao leaves, aloe vera,
coconut oil and soap based. To get the extract of Madre de cacao leaves, the researcher first washed the 630
Madre de cacao leaves with clean water to remove any dirty particles and smashed the leaves with 150 ml of
distilled water. After that, the leaves will be separated, but some stay. The aloe vera is composed of 3 stems. The
coconut oil is 5 ml, while the soap base is one kilo. The process of making JAANNS soap is first melting the
soap base, then adding the ingredients and mixing it till it's ready, cooling it down, then putting it in the molder,
and after that JAANNS soap is ready.

Madre de cacao is a smooth, deciduous tree, 3 to 10 meters high. Leaves are 15 to 25 centimeters long with 13
leaflets which are opposite, oblong-ovate, 4 to 6 centimeters long, with a pointed tip and rounded base. Racemes
are numerous on leafless branches, containing many flowers. Flowers are pink, 2 centimeters long, with a
truncate calyx. The standard is reflexes and pale-yellow in the median part. The pods are narrowly oblong to
oblanceolate, 10 to 14 centimeters long, about 2 centimeters wide, containing 6 to 8 seeds.
Distilled water is water purified by boiling it into steam such that contaminants and minerals are left behind and
then cooling and condensing it back into a liquid. It is suitable for drinking, medical sterilization, and
manufacturing processes.
Aloe Vera is the ideal care product for the coat and skin of goat, cats, and Cattle. The skin is challenged in many
ways, as it has to withstand environmental influences such as heat, cold and moisture, dirt, toxins as well as
bacteria and parasites and protect the body from harmful UV radiation. Disturbances in the skin, which consists
of several layers and cell types, can lead to serious illnesses in the form of infections and allergies. Aloe Vera
can be used as a supportive treatment for almost all types of skin irritations. The excellent interaction of its
various ingredients promotes the healing process such as:
1. wound-healing
2. anti-inflammatory
3. stimulates blood circulation
4. moisturizing
5. decongestant and cooling
6. fast analgesic
7. anti-bleeding and anti-pruritus
8. antibacterial (against bacteria)
9. anti-fungal (against fungi)
10. antiviral (against viruses)
11. partly slightly parasite repellent (mosquitoes, fleas, ticks)
12. mildly caring for a shiny coat and relaxed skin
Virgin coconut oil is the naturally processed, chemically free and additive free product from fresh coconut meat
or its derivatives (coconut milk and coconut milk residue), which has not undergone any chemical processing
after extraction. It is the purest form of coconut oil, water white in color, contains natural vitamin E and has not
undergone hydrolytic or atmospheric oxidation as attested by its very low free fatty acid content and peroxide
value. It has a mild to intense fresh coconut scent depending on the type of process used for production.
Glycerin soap base is made with natural vegetable skincare oils, oat protein and 20% Vegetable Glycerin, making
this soap both soothing and cleansing and gives a creamy lather for the skin. This soap base is gentler on the skin
than most soaps, making it a good choice for people who have particularly dry or sensitive skin. It also has a
lower pH than other soaps, which helps the skin retain its natural moisture. We use two types of soap bases which
are Clear and White.
For the testing of products, the researcher was giving each soap to the farmers and pet owners to test the soap to
their pets/ farm animals that suffer from skin disease. The Researchers first advise the pet owners and farmers to
patch test first before applying to their animals and pet. The respondent will apply the soap to their pets/ farm
animals every bathing after the application of the product ,the remaining residue will be rinsed off then the

of , therefore this data implied that there no significant difference between the perceived benefits of
JAANNS soap according to the pet owners and farmers. The findings reveal that both animals such as cat, goat
and cattle owned by the pet owners and farmers can benefit with JAANNS soap which is based from Madre de
cacao and Aloe Vera soap-based. The animals owned by the pet owners and farmers can both benefit from the
composition of JAANNS soap. The mean for farmers are 7.33, that is higher than the means of pet owners 3.33,
this according to their numbers, and therefore suggesting that the use of JAANNS soap are significantly effective
for both farm and pet animals.
According to DiBarto M. J. (2019) Soap-based products like Madre de cacao and Aloe Vera soap-based formulae
are commonly used in animal care for various purposes, including cleaning, grooming, and managing skin
conditions. These products can be formulated from natural or synthetic ingredients and often include surfactants
that help remove dirt, oils, and pathogens from the skin and fur of animals. Understanding the effects of these
products is crucial for ensuring the health and well-being of animals.
This chapter presents the summary of findings, conclusions and recommendations of this study.
Questionnaires are employed on thirty (30) respondents to gather the data necessary in this study, Statistical
Package for Social Science (SPSS), particularly frequency and percentage, to identify the demographic profile
of the respondents, and weighted mean is employed to determine the impact of JAANNS soap on the farmers
and pet owners and the effects of JAANNS soap on the animal skin.
The first 10 statements among the questionnaire have obtained 3.44 with the description Agree, which means
the findings reveal that using JAANNS Soap can benefit the animal owned by the farmers and pet owners as
they perceived.
On the extent of the effects of JAANNS on the animal skin, the respondents agreed to the last 5 statements and
obtained a total grand mean of 3.66. The findings revealed that the JAANNS Madre de cacao and Aloe Vera
soap-based formulas have the effects on the animal’s skin as observed by farmers and pet owners.
For the significant difference between the perceived benefits of JAANNS soap according to the pet owners and
farmers. The findings reveal that there is no significant difference, which indicates that both animals owned by
the pet owners and farmers can benefit from JAANNS soap, which is based on Madre de cacao and Aloe Vera
soap. The animals can both benefit from the composition of JAANNS soap
Based on the results, the researchers concluded that JAANNS Soap, with its Madre de Cacao and Aloe Vera
formula, offers significant benefits to pet owners and farmers by promoting health and sustainability. While
challenges like scalability and consistency exist, the potential social, economic, and environmental benefits make
it a promising option for those seeking natural alternatives in pet and livestock care. As for the effect of JAANNS
soap on the animal's skin as observed by pet owners and farmers, the respondents have agreed that using
JAANNS soap, which is based on Madre de cacao and Aloe Vera soap, appears to be a gentle, natural solution
for maintaining healthy and parasite-free skin in animals.
As for the significant difference, the researchers follow the null hypothesis and reject the alternate. The findings
reveal that there is no significant difference between the perceived benefits of JAANNS soap according to the
pet owners and farmers. which indicates that both animals owned by the pet owners and farmers can benefit
from JAANNS soap, which is based on Madre de cacao and Aloe Vera soap-based. The animals can both benefit
from the composition of JAANNS soap.

JAANNS Soap could serve as a versatile, effective, and eco-friendly solution for farmers and pet owners,
addressing common skin and pest-related challenges naturally. The following recommendations are
recommended based on the findings of this study:
Madre de Cacao has natural insecticidal and repellent properties. It can help protect the skin of
farmers who are frequently exposed to pests and biting insects, reducing the risk of insect-borne diseases.
Aloe Vera is known for its soothing, moisturizing, and healing properties. It can help treat minor
cuts, burns, or skin irritations that farmers may experience from manual labor. Sustainability: If the soap is
biodegradable, it aligns with sustainable farming practices by reducing harmful chemical runoff into the
environment.
Anti-Parasitic Properties: Madre de Cacao is widely used as a natural treatment for mange, fleas, and ticks in
pets. Regular use of the soap can help control these parasites effectively without harsh chemicals.Skin Soothing:
Aloe Vera helps relieve itching and inflammation caused by skin conditions or allergies in pets, promoting
healthier skin and fur.Gentle on Sensitive Skin: The natural formulation is less likely to irritate the skin of pets
compared to chemical-based soaps, making it ideal for sensitive breeds.
