- 97 Heads Goats Given to Pañalum Halal Meat & Dairy Goat Raisers Association
  November 8, 2020The Pañalum Halal Meat & Dairy Goat Raisers Association in Pañalum, Paquibato, Davao City was the recipient of the Expanded Livestock & Poultry Production Livelihood Project for COVID-19 Response “National Livestock Program (NLP) Refocus Program of the Department of Agriculture, Regional Field Office XI (DA-RFO XI). With the recommendation of the City Veterinarian’s Office, the association was awarded ninety seven (97) heads of upgraded native-Anglo Nubian goat breeds; 67 heads female and 30 heads male were dispersed in the amount of Php 776,000.00. Dr. Agnes Amores, Chief of the Production Section of the Animal Husbandry & Disease Prevention and Control Division and Ms. Marila Ederosas, District Head of Paquibato, personnel of the City Veterinarian’s Office, Davao City, escorted the delivery of the upgraded goats in Pañalum last October 23, 2020. The members of the Pañalum Halal Meat & Dairy Goat Raisers Association were graduates of the Farmers Field School (FFS) on Halal Meat & Dairy Goat Production Course conducted by the Agricultural Training Institute (ATI)-XI in collaboration with the City Veterinarian’s Office of Davao in August to December 2019. The goats awarded to them will become breeder stocks to boost their production for Halal meat that will provide the association members additional source of income. The project aims to support and complement the upcoming operation of the nearly finished Halal Slaughterhouse in Malagos, Baguio District this year. The Malagos slaughterhouse will only slaughter ruminant animals raised through Halal method to supply the halal meat requirements of the Muslim residents in Davao City and neighboring provinces. The payment scheme of the project would be for every goat dispersed, one offspring will be taken as a form of payment. Since 97 goats were given to the association, they will also return 97 goats from the offspring produced. The animals collected from the payments will be redispersed to another qualified and viable farmer’s association to ensure the sustainability of the project. The DA and the City Veterinarian’s Office personnel will monitor the project and will facilitate the redispersal of the animal to another association.... Read more...
- Six (6) Units of Milking Machine Given to FEDDAFC
  October 21, 2020The Department of Agriculture Regional Field Office XI (DARFO XI) through the City Veterinarian’s Office awarded six (6) units milking machines to the Federation of Davao Dairy Farmers Cooperative (FEDDAFC). On October 6, 2020, the six (6) units of milking machines amounting to Php 660,000.00 were formally turned over to FEDDAFC at the Malagos Dairy Best Milk Processing Plant in Malagos, Baguio District. Present during the turn over were the Board of Directors of FEDDAFC, headed by Mr. Jerome Dayaon who received the units from the representative of the DARFO XI, Dr. Karl Laurence Pineda and from the City Veterinarian’s Office, Mr. Nicasio Laurel. The federation buys raw milk from its member cooperatives, processes it at their processing plant located at Malagos, Baguio District and sells it under the brand name, Dairy Best. The federation has seven members namely: Malagos Dairy Cooperative (MDC); Calinan Dairy Farmers Cooperative (CDFC); Aklat Dairy Cooperative (ADC); Wangan Dairy Farmers Cooperative (WDC); Riverside Dairy Farmers Cooperative (RIDAFCO); Biao Joaquin Dairy Farmers Cooperative (BJDAFCO) and Cadalian Dairy Farmers Cooperative (CADAFCO). These cooperatives are the recipients of the milking machines except the CADAFCO who waived to avail the milking machine. CADAFCO number of milking cow is few and its farmer-members can manage to milk their animals by hand. The priority users of the milking machines are those farmers with 10-20 heads of milking cows. The milking machine will be passed on to another farmer once the cows of the previous user reaches the dry period of the lactation cycle (milk of cow dries/stops). The recipient cooperatives came up with guidelines in the utilization of the milking machines among its members. The guidelines include fees for those who will use the milking machines. The money generated from the fees will serve as standby funds that will be used for the maintenance and repair of the machine if needed. The mechanization in the raw milk collection among dairy farmers increases the volume of milk harvested. More milk is extracted by the milking machine compared to hand milking. Milking machine cannot hurt the milking cow, it lessen the stress of the animals, improve the health of the stock and ensure a higher quality of milk for dairy products.... Read more...
