Research and Development 01-Dec-2018 Growth curve and weight estimates of PCs are significantly valued when determining market price, study says The selection of buffaloes for breeding and fattening utilizes data on body weights, average daily gain (ADG) and body conformation of the same age group. However, alteration in the estimation of genetic parameters for animal evaluation may occur based on the preliminary analysis of growth trait.
Research and Development 01-Dec-2018 Annual PCC R4D In-House Review showcases 41 researches The PCC has demonstrated its research for development (R4D) efforts, as completed and on-going papers were presented and evaluated during the R4D In-House Review last July 4-6 at the PCC National Headquarters and Gene Pool in the Science City of Muñoz, Nueva Ecija.
Research and Development 01-Dec-2018 Mango peel pectin prevent syneresis, sedimentation of acidified buffalo milk products Various problems in the quality of acidified milk products surface when pH is lowered.
