DA-PCC’s Buro Booster bags 2nd Best Tech Poster in Nat'l Agri-Aqua Innovation Pitch Fest

 

The DA-Philippine Carabao Center (DA-PCC) earned 2nd Best Technology Poster for the Buro Booster Silage Inoculant (BBSI) technology during the National Agri-Aqua Innovation Pitch Fest (AIPF) at the Royce Hotel, Clark Freeport Zone, Pampanga today.

The event is a major activity of the DOST PCAARRD-funded project under the Regional Agri-Aqua Innovation Systems Enhancement (RAISE) Program titled “Project 1D: Enhancing the Intellectual Property Technology Business Management Office at the DA-PCC”.

Buro Booster was developed in 2020 by the DA-PCC's Production Systems and Nutrition Section (PSNS) team including Reynald Amido, Dr. Arnel Del Barrio, Phoebe Lyndia Llantada, Charity Castillo, and Mary Rose Uy-De Guia to feed ruminants quality silage. The inoculant is an additive to corn, sorghum, and grass silage, and contains lactic acid bacteria, which improves silage quality and minimizes spoilage.

The technology poster is an output of Zadieshar Sanchez, chief of the DA-PCC’s Planning and Information Management Division (PIMD) after attending the Technology Promotion Mentorship Series (TPMS) under the DOST-PCAARRD RAISE program together with Xyran Alejandro. It was laid out by Donna Rolyn Salenga of PIMD.

AIPF 2024 aimed to showcase the technological advancements and solutions in the agri-aqua and natural resources sector with the theme: "Transforming Ideas into Business Realities with Science and Technology."

The said convention was hosted by the Department of Science and Technology-Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic, and Natural Resources Research and Development (DOST-PCAARRD) in collaboration with the Association of Page Professionals (APP) and the Pampanga State Agricultural University (PSAU).
