Former DA-PCC Center Dir. receives DOST-PCAARRD’s NSAARRD Dev’t Paper Award Dec 2021 Bubalus Dr. Daniel Aquino, NSAARRD By Dine Yve Daganos Former Department of Agriculture-Philippine Carabao Center at Central Luzon State University (DA-PCC at CLSU) Center Director Dr. Daniel L. Aquino bagged the 2nd Best Development Paper Award for his study on “Sustainable Homegrown Forages and Complete Nutrient Diet Towards Enhancing Growth and Milk Production of Dairy Buffaloes in Nueva Ecija and San Agustin, Isabela,” in the 2021 National Symposium on Agriculture, Aquatic, and Natural Resources Research and Development (NSAARRD) hosted by DOST-PCAARRD. Dr. Daniel L. Aquino The study by Dr. Aquino promoted Science and Technology (S&T) farm approach in producing homegrown forages with a complete nutrient diet (CND) developed for buffaloes that was proven effective in enhancing their growth and milk production while increasing income of dairy farmers. The technologies are also low-cost, practical, and sustainable making it considerably adoptable by every farmer. The homegrown forage uses Napier grass and legumes as main components which are chopped and mixed with feedstuff or concentrates. This technology aimed to address the inadequate supply and poor quality of fodder for carabao feed which contributes to their poor performance and, subsequently, low income of farmers. The supporting authors of the study include Armie M. Molina, Christian C. Lacanilao, Nomer P. Garcia, Chief of Knowledge Management Division Eric P. Palacpac, former DA-PCC Executive Director Arnel N. Del Barrio, and Tsutomu Fujihara. Dr. Aquino and the five other winners for both Development and Research categories were awarded during the 10th anniversary celebration of DOST-PCAARRD themed “Harnessing the gains of GALING PCAARRD towards a more resilient AANR sector” via Facebook live stream on November 29, 2021. The annual DOST-PCAARRD’s NSAARRD aims to recognize and encourage Filipino Researchers to strive hard in achieving quality R&D outputs and package better technologies for the countryside’s sustainable development.
