On April 11, 2019, more than 400 professionals and students in Cagayan Valley gathered at the Isabela State University (ISU) Amphitheater in Echague, Isabela to participate in the 5th PSAS-Cagayan Valley Chapter Regional Convention. Highlights included a lecture series in honor of Dr. Edwin C. Villar, live animal display, livestock R&D posters, product exhibit and outreach program. The occasion was graced by Department of Agriculture-Regional Field Offi ce 02 Executive Director. Mr. Narciso A. Edillo, who is duly represented by Dr. Roberto C. Busania, the OIC- Regional Technical Director for Operations. Likewise, Dr. Ponciano Noel M. Soliman III, the Immediate Past President of the Federation of Goat and Sheep Raisers and Associations of the Philippines. Inc. (FGASPAPI) served as plenary speaker and presented the newly approved Small Ruminant Roadmap. To further strengthen the topic presented by Dr. Soliman, Dr. Villar gave his response and insights.
PSAS- CAGAYAN VALLEY CHAPTER HOLDS 5TH REGIONAL CONVENTION
The topics presented in the lecture series are aligned with the livestock commodities that the region is stewarding and promoting and on the important issues related to production. For instance, the lecture on buffalo upgrading program gave insights on the overall picture of the government’s efforts to improve buffalo as a source of milk. At present, the region is developing dairy zones as primary source of milk for the local consumers. On the other hand, the lecture on conservation of native animals is also timely as production of these animals became popular among raisers in the local communities. The threats of African Swine Fever were also discussed, coupled with step-by-step measures on how to prevent its entry to the country and to the region. To give more emphasis on the prevention of disease outbreak, biosecurity protocols were also presented, along with the issue of anti-microbial resistance. Lastly, as the region battles with calamities yearly, mitigating climate change in relation to animal production was also discussed. The lecturers were Dr. Ester B. Flores (PCC), Dr. Synan S. Baguio (DOST-PCAARRD), Dr.
Zaldy A. Olivas (DA-BAI Region 2), Dr. Gerly T. Zulueta (DA-RADDL), Dr.Judith Z. Tattao (DA-RADDL) and Dr. Rafael Luis F. Morillo (NVSU).
After the lecture series, a new set of offi cers was elected during the business meeting. Moreover, 243 new PSAS members took their oath.
On the following day, an outreach program was conducted at Brgy. Libertad, Echague, Isabela in collaboration with LGU-Echague and ISU’s College of Agriculture, School of Veterinary Medicine and Cagayan Valley Small Ruminant Research Center benefi tting 32 raisers. Services such as branding, deworming, vaccination, vitamin-mineral supplementation, and castration were administered during the outreach.
The convention was sponsored by ISU, DA-RFO 02, and various private companies.
