Dairy in Mindanao is still developing
and
Dairy farmers have still plenty problem.
Therefore, JOCV was assigned.
Unfortunately, all JOCV in Mindanao

1.Herd Build-up
The build-up of a productive herd of suitable
dairy animals is one of the major concerns
of the NDA. In 2000, about 1,200
milking cows from Mew Zealand were imported
to boost the local dairy herd. The
said animals arrived in the second
quarter of Year 2000 after having achieved
4-5 months confined pregnancy. These
are intended to augment the existing dairy
herd in the NDA's target areas.
The memorandum of agreement between
NDA and
Quedan and Rural Credit Guarantee Corporation (QUEDANCOR) , a DA-attached
agencywas signed. This is intended
for the
setting up of a guarantee fund that
would
facilitate procurement of breedable
dairy
crosses by qualified farmers and cooperatives.
The said fund will also allow dairy
farmers
to avail of loans that shall be applied
to
various activities and requirements
involving
production, packaging, marketing, and
distribution
of milk and other dairy products.
Meanwhile, the NDA continued to deliver
breeding services through its four island offices in North
Luzon, south Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
A Total of 2,289 dairy animals were
covered
through artificial insemination using
semen
from genetically superior bulls or
through
the natural method.
As of end 2000, the dairy cow population
of NDA-assisted cooperatives stood
at 3,234
head. Of this number, some 2,036
were
on the milk line
This service was proposed by NMFDC
and supposed
to be provided by NDA. However JOCV
member
had to serve this program due to lack
of
tehcnicians in NDA.

2.Animal Health and Other Services
NDA field personnel delivered vaccination
services covering a total of 1,500
animals. In addition, zoonotic testing
was done on 747 animals, aside from deworming,
deticking and vitamin supplementation.
Further, various types of assistance were
extended to other entities, such as
upgrading
services for dairy animals of agrarian
reform
communities , state colleges or universities
and local government entities. |
3.Technical Assistance to Dairy Coops
The NDA extends continuing technical support
to dairy cooperatives whose farmer-members
undertake smallhold-type dairy projects.
Such assistance-which includes veterinary
health care, product development and facilities
maintenance-enables the dairy coops to efficiently
and effectively handle the critical areas
of production, collection, processing and
marketing, as well as the strengthening of
their respective groups within the framework
of cooperativism. Project development
officers of the NDA are mainly responsible
for the provision of the said technical support.
