SCIENCE CITY OF MUÑOZ, Nueva Ecija (PNA) – The Philippine Carabao Center (PCC), based at the Central Luzon State University here, will prominently figure in the World Buffalo Congress the Philippines will host o0n October 20-23 at the Shangri-la Hotel in Makati.
The four-day congress will have for its theme “Buffalo-based Enterprises: Development Prospects Under Changing Trade Regulations and Consumer Demands.”
Dr. Liberato Cruz, PCC executive director and president of the International Buffalo Federation (IBF), said the congress will survey current knowledge on water buffalo production in various regions of the world.
The meet, he said, will also examine the growing role buffaloes play and determine more efficient modes of utilization of the animal in the context of obtaining future socio-economic developments.
The Philippine carabao belongs to the family. It is a water buffalo and traditionally has been the Filipino farmer’s best friend both as a helper in plowing his farm and as a beast of burden tasked to carry heavy loads, as well as an animal vehicle to ride on.
In addition , the carabao has also become productive dairy animal that provides the milk requirements of the rural family and earns extra money for the family kitty.
The animal is likewise the source of carabeef or carabao meat, a local delicacy.
Prepared as “tapa” or dried meat, its coarse texture and distinctive flavor makes it a favorite delicacy and finger food in drinking sessions.
Lately, the carabao has won special attention after ousted former President Joseph Estrada established the Philippine carabao Center here.
Tasked to undertake studies on how to further improve the animal’s genetic character, physical size, and dairy potentials by crossbreeding it with the India murrah buffalo, the PCC is now one of the primary science and research institutions that serve as backbone of the Science City of Muñoz.
Aside from its offices and laboratory facilities at the CLSU campus here, PCC also maintains a breeding farm at the foot of the Caraballo Mountain in Carranglan, Nueva Ecija.
Dr. Cruz said recent and forthcoming global trade developments are likely to have significant impact on the viability of buffalo-based enterprises.
Various stakeholders, he said, will need to “fully understand an appreciate the implications of these emerging global trade regulations and future consumer demands for buffalo-derived products.”
Cruz said the congress will also discuss new technologies developed from the conscientious efforts of many scientist worldwide designed to improve and enhance the viability and profitability of buffalo-based enterprises.
The World Buffalo Congress is a joint undertaking of the IBF, Philippine Society of Animal Science, PCC and the Department of Agriculture.
