“The collaborative efforts between DOST-TAPI and DOST-PCAARD bring the necessary technologies needed by our stakeholders in improving their agricultural production and operations especially in the countryside,” said Eilleen S. Fernando,Project Leader and Supervising Science Research Specialist of DOST-TAPI.
Aside from the technologies’ applications, technology transfer and adoption requirements and procedures were discussed during the demonstration and consultation among interested agriculture investors.
Four AANR technologies – pelletizing machine for goat feeds, pellet feeds for goat, and loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) kit for swine porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) virus of Central Luzon State University (CLSU), and chevon products in retort pouch of Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University (DMMMSU) were featured during the lecture.
“With the pellet feeds, goats are ensured of continuous growth and right nutrition that would ensure breeders of higher productivity and quality products,” said Vice President for Business Affairs Edgar A. Orden of CLSU.
“The LAMP kit can help prevent bankruptcy among pig farmers due to diseases,” assured Dr. Clarissa Yvonne J. Domingo of CLSU, to the stakeholders.
Moreover, Associate Professor Anabella G. Valdez of DMMMSU encouraged the commercialization of chevon products.
The technology demonstration and fora was attended by 138 participants.
