Country’s Biggest Small Ruminants Genetics Nucleus Farm In Cotabato!
The country’s biggest Sheep and Goat Genetics Nucleus Farm is now nearing completion in North Cotabato.
When fully operational this year, it will be the breeding center of two outstanding lines of Goat and Sheep whose offsprings will later be distributed to the different regions of the country.
The project is a partnership between the Department of Agriculture National Livestock Program and a local farmers cooperative, COLIPA.
Envisioned by Agriculture Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel, Jr. and the late Undersecretary DV Savellano, the Center will House 140 breeders of Spanish Goats and 3,500 Dorper Sheep.
All the breeding stocks will have their genetic records in microchips to be embedded in their ears or tails to ensure that outstanding Genetics are recorded.
The breeding program will start 2nd Quarter of 2025 with farmers from North Cotabato as the first beneficiaries.
