Bamboo Goat House Model
Now Ready For Occupancy!
The DV Savellano Bamboo Goat House Model which will serve as the Spanish Goats Nucleus Breeding Facility is now complete and set to be inaugurated by no less than Agriculture Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel Jr. first week of February this year.
The Bamboo Goat House was envisioned by the late Agriculture Undersecretary DV Savellano who wanted to promote the use of Bamboo for Small Ruminants and Poultry Housing.
Usec DV Savellano, who headed the National Livestock and Poultry Program, passed away two weeks ago.
The ceremonial inauguration will be held before the arrival of 140 Spanish Goat breeders from the U.S. to ensure that the facility located in North Cotabato will be sanitized prior to the start of the breeding program.
By March this year, 3,500 White Dorper Sheep will be shipped from Australia to be bred in a nearby facility.
The Goat and Sheep Nucleus Farm Program is a project of Sec. Laurel aimed at boosting the population of small ruminants to complement the meat production program of the country.
