DA Caraga boosts livestock industry amid pandemic

BUTUAN CITY – The Department of Agriculture (DA) Caraga has taken different initiatives to boost the livestock industry amid the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.

“Caraga Region has the capacity to produce its own livestock feeds.” 

This was the statement of DA-Caraga regional director Engr. Ricardo OΓ±ate, Jr., as he emphasized the vast opportunities in the livestock industry, during the Regional Dialogue for Livestock Program in Butuan City on March 8-9, 2022.

“We have the raw materials, our farmers produce it here, so why not produce our feeds to help our livestock raisers and the farmers as well,” he added.

The two-day activity was participated by municipal, city, and provincial veterinarians together with livestock program coordinators in the local government units.

Also, Jekem Sanchez, Regional Livestock Program focal person, said that the activity also served as an avenue of preparing LGU counterparts in the devolution of agricultural extension functions upon the full implementation of the Mandanas-Garcia ruling. (DA-RFO XIII, RAFIS/PIA-Caraga)
