POLITIKO - The bible of Philippine Politics.
The Palawan government’s Provincial Veterinary Office (ProVet) will spearhead the mass artificial insemination for cows and carabaos next month in El Nido, Taytay and San Vicente towns.
According to the province, the artificial insemination aims to boost the population of cows and carabaos in Palawan.
“Layunin ng programang ito na mapadami ang malalaking lahi ng mga baka at kalabaw sa lalawigan,” the province said.
“Ang gawain na tatagal ng tig-dalawang araw bawat munisipyo ay magsisimula sa darating na ika-5 hanggang ika- 6 ng Pebrero sa bayan ng El Nido; ika-7 hanggang ika-8 ng Pebrero sa bayan ng Taytay at ika-9 hanggang ika-10 sa bayan ng San Vicente, Palawan,” it added.
Dr. Darius P. Mangcucang, Provincial Veterinarian I, said that artificial insemination helps boost the population of the said animals.
“Ang mga baka at kalabaw ay dapat na nasa edad 2 at kalahating taon upang mabigyan ng libreng artificial insemination kung saan kailangan namang maghintay ng siyam na buwan ang mga nagmamay-ari nito upang makapanganak ang kanilang mga alaga.” Dr. Mangcucang was quoted as saying.
Meanwhile, the province said that aside from artificial insemination, the ProVet will also conduct Estrus Synchronization at Pregnancy Diagnosis in the said towns.
