Bukidnon farmer receives dairy buffaloes from DA-PCC as start-up stock Apr 2020 Bubalus Bukidnon ,Rendon Carangcarang,MUSBUDA ,Don Carlos By Jeson Candole The Department of Agriculture-Philippine Carabao Center at Central Mindanao University (DA-PCC at CMU) awarded Rendon Carangcarang additional three heads of pregnant dairy buffaloes under a paiwi program last May 28 at the Municipal Hall of Don Carlos, Bukidnon. Rendon Carangcarang, an active member of MUSBUDA in Don Carlos, Bukidnon, proudly shows off two of the dairy buffaloes that he received from DA-PCC at CMU under its “paiwi” program. Carangcarang is one of the active members of Muleta Side Buffalo Association (MUSBUDA) of San Francisco, Don Carlos, Bukidnon since 2017. According to Dr. Elena Paraguas, carabao-based enterprise development coordinator of DA-PCC at CMU, the DA-PCC already entrusted Carangcarang three buffaloes last January 9, as a start for him to venture in this industry. Hence, a total of seven buffaloes are presently in his farm. Dr. Paraguas also mentioned in her opening message during the awarding that this entrustment was part of the preparation for the milk feeding program, which created a higher demand for locally produced milk. Carangcarang shared his optimism that buffalo dairying is one of the solutions to poverty alleviation and found out that this is an essential venture to have an additional income. Currently, Carangcarang already earned Php20,000-Php30,000 a month from the sales of 450 liters of milk. This has enabled him to finance the educational needs of his children, pay all of his debts to the nearby stores, and provide and satisfy their daily needs. “Repeatedly, we, at LGU will campaign in the community to persuade farmers to increase milk production and encourage more farmers to engage in dairying,” said Engr. Merlyn Los Baños, municipal agriculturist of Don Carlos. Los Baños conveyed how the dairy farmers can meaningfully contribute to address the problem in malnutrition and the unavailability of supply of the locally produced milk in their municipality. Carlo Magno Abellanosa, chairman of MUSBUDA, said in an interview that carabao raising is indeed a beneficial venture and DA-PCC`s program helped him and his co-farmers improve their living. “The association was fortunate enough due to the continuous support from DA-PCC, which contributes significantly towards successful ventures in dairying. Likewise, their programs, have contributed to the health and nutrition of small-hold dairy farmers and their families as well as milk consumers,” Abellanosa shared. “I am thankful for the unending assistance and support from DA-PCC. I also appreciate the fact that through it, I have found a sustainable source of income.” -Rendon Carangcarang
