Dairy buffalo production takes center stage thru SOA in Mindanao Nov 2022 None SOA By Dine Yve Daganos A total of 519 farmers and dairy buffalo keepers from Southern Mindanao were capacitated on Dairy Buffalo production by Department of Agriculture-Philippine Carabao Center (DA-PCC) at University of Southern Mindanao (USM) and Agricultural Training Institute (ATI) Region XI in a 16-episode School-on-the-Air (SOA) conducted from November to September 2022. They are the third set of graduates in Mindanao since the initial broadcast of said SOA course in 2021. Dairy buffalo production takes center stage thru SOA in Mindanao The SOA episodes included lectures on Carabao Development Program (CDP), forage and feed resources for carabaos, forage establishment, forage and feed conservation, feeding of dairy buffaloes in different physiological stages, health management for physiological stages, proper housing of carabaos, buffalo diseases, agricultural insurances, heat detection and breeding services, forage and manure-based enterprise, meat-based and milk-based enterprise, and technology transfer. The pool of resource persons were composed of various staff from DA-PCC, ATI Region XI, Philippine Crop Insurance Corporation (PCIC) Region XI, as well as seasoned dairy buffalo farmers who are DA-PCC assisted. The participants expressed their appreciation for having been selected as recipients of new knowledge and this ignited their enthusiasm to continue pursue dairy buffalo production. “If coconut is dubbed as the tree of life because of the many products you can derive from its roots to its leaves, then carabao can also be regarded as the animal of life because of the many enterprises it offers from milk, meat, to the manure and the forage that we feed them,” said Joel Aleon, a participant from Braulio E. Dujali municipality. “In DA-PCC AT USM, we say that ‘in dairy the income is daily.’ This is the vision that we want to realize with our every client. Through the learning course you took, we hope that you will be able to bring this statement into actuality and keep a sustained daily income,” DA-PCC at USM Director Benjamin Basilio said. Aside from Dir. Basilio, the mass graduation ceremony, which was held at Carmen, Davao del Norte, was also attended by DA Regional Field Office XI representative Marie Ann Constantino, Provincial Agriculture Office of Davao del Norte representative Juna Sanchez, Davao del Norte Governor and guest speaker Edwin Jubahib, and Jerry Nalupa, Joey Ariola, Samuel Anay, who are representatives from the local government units of Carmen, Dujali, and Panabo City, respectively.
