DA-PCC at DMMMSU revitalizes technicians for enhanced AI service delivery Oct 2024 None AI service By Maximo Peralta Jr. The DA-PCC at Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University (DA-PCC at DMMMSU) has enhanced the capabilities of its artificial insemination (AI) technicians through a two-day refresher course and forum held from September 25-26, 2024, at LGU Agri-tourism, Amlang, Rosario, La Union. DA-PCC at DMMMSU revitalizes technicians for enhanced AI service delivery The training aimed to reinforce the knowledge of AI technicians in conducting efficient and high-quality AI services—a critical component in improving service delivery to rural farmers. Reynaldo Paneda, AI coordinator of the Center, acknowledged that the efficiency of AI technicians and calf drop monitoring are the main factors affecting the Center’s target. He also mentioned that based on the analysis of the AI database of the Center, only 10 technicians met the required AI efficiency rate. To address this gap, the Center organized the refresher course and forum. The first day of the event focused on providing AI technicians with a refresher on key practices, such as proper form filling, thawing and handling of semen, and actual AI procedures. The second day featured a forum led by Paneda, addressing common issues, sharing updates, and devising strategies to improve the delivery of AI services. During the event, outstanding village-based AI technicians were recognized for their exemplary performance. Christian Dela Rosa, Davis Pascua, and Arnold Basuel were awarded for achieving the highest AI efficiency rates, while Jessie Aromin, Arnold Basuel, and Josue Abando received recognition for the highest calf drop reports. Dela Rosa, who earned the top spot in AI efficiency, stated that he always ensures that carabaos are in good health with correct body condition score before performing AI procedures and that he follows best practices as advised by his AI team leader. The center has also provided AI paraphernalia and supplies to the technicians. A scheduled meeting with the Regional and Provincial AI coordinators within the service area of the Center will be held on the 2nd week of October 2024 to raise the issues of AI technicians and provide a cohesive action plan for the successful implementation of the AI program. The said initiative is part of the Center's commitment to the agency's mandate of conserving, propagating, and promoting the carabao for the benefit of rural farmers.
