2. INFUSION OF DAIRY ANIMALS

a. INFUSION OF DAIRY ANIMALS THROUGH THE PHILIPPINE-NEW ZEALAND DAIRY

PROJECT (PNZDP)

Through the PNZDP, the NDA was

able to import a total of 285

heads of Holstein Friesian x

Jersey breed dairy cattle from

New Zealand. The animals

arrived in Mactan International

Airport last April 19, 2016 and

through the use of sexed semen. The said animals were distributed to existing

and new dairy farms all over the Philippines:

TOTAL 285

The PNZDP is a five (5) year collaborative program between the Philippines

and New Zealand which aims to assist in the development of a profitable,

equitable and sustainable Philippine dairy industry. The project will benefit the

dairy farmers by providing technical and farm management interventions to

enhance farmers’ productivity through improved dairy animal nutrition. Dairy

animals in good body condition will result to increased dairy animal

reproductive performance and milk yields.

b. INFUSION OF DAIRY ANIMALS IN MINDANAO

A total of 500 heads of imported Holstein Friesian

sahiwal cattle arrived in Maramag, Bukidnon last

June 5, 2016. These animals were purchased by

the Universal Harvester Dairy Farm, Incorporated

with the assistance of the NDA. The farm is

expected to be one of the future sources of locally

born dairy animals in the country.

program and makes local animals available for

other interested dairy farmers. Since the program

started, a total of 2,965 heads of dairy cattle were

already procured valued at Php65.60 million. For this

semester, additional 182 heads were bought and
