The Study on Integrated fish farming System with Pig and Chicken aiming to increase farming productivity was carried out at Don and Pounghone villages, Phonthong district, Laungprabang province, There are farmers 18 participated families, and 28 participated farmers in Hatlom, Loa and Om villages, Nalae district, Laungnamtha province during 2009-2010. Three fish production system were tested in the farmer’s field included: (T1) Fish culture only, (T2) Integrated fish culture with pig and (T3) Integrated fish culture with Chicken. The result of the Study show that (T1) Fish culture only, the survival rate was about 40%, the average final weight of fish was 457g per fish; the total of production was 5,336 kg/ha. The economic profit of this system was 43,006,000 kip. The efficiency profit percent was 67.2%. (T2) Integrated fish culture with pig, the survival rate was about 49.4%, the average final weight of fish was 806 g per fish; the total of production was 8,182 kg/ha. The economic profit of this system was 107,362,000 kip. The efficiency of profit percent was 76.6%. (T3) Integrated fish culture with chicken, the survival rate was about 43.9%, the average final weight of fish was 800 g per fish; the total of production was 6,750 kg/ha. The economic profit of this system was 66,074,000 kip. The  efficiency profit percent was 76.5%. As a result can be concluded that the integrated fish culture with pig and chicken have given high production return which including fish and animal production. The integration of livestock and fishery will be an appropriate technology for farmers in the upland area.
