Baricuatro, discussing the DA’s programs and projects with focus on developing the livestock and poultry sector in Cebu. Key initiatives discussed include the expansion of the dairy herd, support for livelihood enterprises through animal modules (comprising animal stocks, feeds, veterinary drugs and biologics, and farm equipment), and the strengthening of animal health programs — all designed to benefit livestock raisers across the province.
The DA officials expressed full support to the Governor’s advocacy on food security and safety for a sustainable and resilient agriculture sector in the province.
