It was launched in May and had accommodated its first farmer-clients in SJC with provision of animal-health services and forage planting materials last July 6. The RRC is open on weekdays. This is part of the DA-PCC’s efforts on the DA’s “Ahon Lahat, Pagkaing Sapat Kontra COVID-19” particulary through the agency’s Unlad Lahi Project (ULaP). The said project not only aims to help further production of milk and meat but also to help displaced farmers recover from loss of income. “Our veterinarians will be on duty at the RRC, ready to provide technical support and animal health-related services to farmers in need,” said Dr. Eufrocina Atabay, DA-PCC scientist and officer-in-charge of the Research and Development Division. According to Dr. Randolf Tolentino, DA-PCC farm supervisor, the RRC will tend to carabaos, cows, sheep, and goats. Its services include consultation, diagnosis, treatment and preventive medical services, and surgery, among others. This he shared during an orientation of 12 participants about the facility and the services it offers. The RRC team visited the farms of some participants and administered free deworming, vitamin supplementation, and pregnancy detection to the animals. Also present in the event were DA-PCC’s Scientist Dr. Peregrino Duran, National Impact Zone Coordinator Wilma Del Rosario, Biosafety and Environment Section Officer-in-Charge Dr. Marvin Villanueva, and other staff. The RRC was launched as part of the DA-PCC’s celebration of Farmers’ and Fisherfolks’ Month. DA-PCC Executive Director Dr. Arnel Del Barrio, Deputy Executive Director Dr. Caro Salces, SJC City Agriculturist Violeta Vargas, Dr. Atabay, and SJC Veterinarian Dr. Rustan Patacsil led the ribbon cutting ceremonies. “We are thankful to DA-PCC for this project. This clinic will benefit San Jose farmers and also those from other places in Central Luzon,” Dr. Patacsil said during the launching.
