The National Livestock Cryobank, located at the DA-PCC's national headquarters in the Science City of Muñoz, Nueva Ecija, has a total of six cryotanks that store animal genetic resources in liquid nitrogen. Additionally, the NLC will aid in the advancement of research for development (R4D) works on ex-situ cryoconservation for animal genetic resources from diverse livestock species towards conservation, management, and utilization, leading to a sustainable animal production system. The NLC serves as the national repository for germplasm and biological samples from diverse livestock species. This will support the conservation and management of animal genetic resources that is seen to sustain the genetic diversity of livestock species in the country and will be the source of genetics to be used by farmers, livestock breeders, and other interested clients. With this, DA-PCC OIC Executive Director Dr. Ronnie Domingo encourages more farmer clients and private sectors to avail of this service as the agency prioritizes the banking of animal genetic resources (AnGR) and biological samples. DA Secretary Dr. William Dar and Undersecretary for Livestock Dr. William Medrano are expected to grace the inauguration ceremonies.
