GININTUANG MASAGANAN ANI
LIVESTOCK PROGRAM

The Ginintuang Masaganang Ani Livestock takes off from the Agrikulturang Makamasa - livestock program that has laid the foundation for a productive , efficient, economic, and sustainable livestock and poultry industry.  Many of the projects and activities implemented in the Agrikulturang Makamasa livestock program that are  feasible  and effective in the development of livestock, meat, dairy and allied industries will be continued.  However, the implementation strategies and development targets of these projects and activities will be consistent with and supportive of the ten point agenda in agriculture and the full implementation of the agriculture and modernization act of 1997 ( AFMA ) .

 Rationale

With the implementation of the General Agreement on Tariff and Trade and the World Trade Organization ( GATT – WTO ), there is an urgent need to accelerate  the modernization of the local livestock and poultry industry.  This will enhance the capability to compete not only in terms of prices but also in product quality and volume both in the domestic and in the world’s market.

Moreover, modernization shall equip and prepare the sector from the   challenges brought about by the recent developments foremost of which include:  trade globalization, the currency crisis, worldwide economic crisis, occurrence of extreme weather disturbances such as La Niña and the El Niño phenomena, and the increasing rate of conversion of agricultural lands utilized for livestock production.

 Goals and Objectives

The development goals and objectives of the livestock program are as follows:

1. Making available, accessible, and affordable livestock and livestock products through increases in the overall livestock production.

2. Providing accessibility to resources, support services, infrastructures needed in increasing the income levels of livestock farmers especially those whose income depends solely on livestock production;

3. Ensuring that the practice of livestock business enterprise is compatible with the preservation of the ecosystem;

4. Enhancing the competitiveness of the local livestock and poultry industry in both domestic and foreign markets.

 Program Target and Coverage

 Key Assumptions:

1. The climate, feed resources, and animal health condition of the area are favorable for livestock production;

2. Livestock production and post-production support infrastructures and facilities are available; and

3. The provincial food security plan has identified livestock as a priority program and the concerned organizations have committed resources for the implementation of livestock development projects in the area.

Program features and strategies

1. Encourage and empower farmers and farmer- organizations to engage in livestock and poultry projects, including other vertical integrators in their farm enterprises.

2. Produce quality breeder stocks and other production inputs available and affordable to farmers at the right time.

3. Improve the production-marketing systems to become more efficient and cost effective.

4. Empower local government units ( LGU ) to assume primary responsibility for food security program. The LGU’s shall assume responsibilities in meeting the targets of their livestock and poultry production projects particularly those that are located in the SAFDZ’s.

5. Promote production-intensifying but cost reducing technologies through an intensive and extensive agricultural extension support program.

6. Tap the expertise of state universities/colleges in developing appropriate technologies, providing forum for R & D linkage and assisting in the evaluation of the program.

7. Intensify information education campaign on Ginintuang Masaganang Ani- Livestock in particular, and the AFMA in general using appropriate and cost effective media.

8. Institutionalize the needed infrastructure, technology and development strategies for the livestock and poultry industry’s growth, competitiveness and sustainability.

Genetic Improvement Program
This program seeks to accelerate the production of genetically superior animals and genetic materials to support the genetic improvement program of breeding stations and production centers of LGU’s, progressive private farms and cooperatives and/or selected academic R & D stations.  The following activities will be pursued:

Establishment, management and Strengthening of nucleus and multiplier farms for the production of genetically superior animals.

Animal Health Services
The animal health services component will prioritize the implementation of the following projects:
