3. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE BUY-BACK PROGRAM.

Part of the Dairy Herd Build-Up Program of NDA includes the crossbreeding and

upgrading program to produce local dairy animals. To support the program, the buy-

back scheme was introduced wherein the offsprings produced are collected and

procured by NDA and re-distributed. To date, a total of 1,011 heads worth P14.5 M were

already procured under the Buy-back program.

4. INCLUSION OF MILK FEEDING PROGRAM IN THE NATIONAL PRIORITY PLAN 2013.

NDA successfully defended the inclusion

of the Milk Feeding Program (MFP)

under the 2013 National Priority Plan.

Last 28January2013, the National

Economic Development Authority

(NEDA) certified the MFP as a Priority

Project for inclusion in the National

Priority Plan of the Government for the

year 2013.

Corollary to this is the Department of

Budget and Management’s (DBM)

inclusion of the milk feeding program in the menu of priority projects that may be

considered for implementation by members of the House of Representatives including

that of the Assisi Development Foundation’s (ADF) Hapag-Asa Integrated Nutrition

Program. In September, 2012, the NDA had been released the amount of PHP 167.4 M;

65.8 % of which have already been utilized in 29 out of the intended 65 congressional

districts. The program aims to feed undernourished children ages 2-5 years old from the

community and day care centers as well as kindergarten and grade 1 pupils from public

elementary schools.

The program has reached 117,766 children-beneficiaries nationwide utilizing the milk

sourced from about 14 local dairy suppliers. Each beneficiary receives a pack of 180ml-

200ml chocolate flavored milk processed and distributed to designated drop off points for

a maximum of 120 feeding days Monday to Friday.

programs aimed at increasing the dairy population which includes the Calf Cash Support

Program, Buy Back Scheme, Calf Rearing Program, Male Calf Fattening Program and the

Breedable Heifers Rearing Program. The upgrading activities will be done in close

coordination with various dairy upgrading partners, namely: the backyard farmers, the

commercial raisers, the Regional Field Units (RFUs)/Local Government Units (LGUs) and

the partners under the Unified National Artificial Insemination Program (UNAIP). To date,

there are more than 5,000 local cattle that were inseminated with dairy semen

nationwide.

10. LAKBAY-ARAL FOR 100 POTENTIAL PARTNER

FAMILIES UNDER NDA-HEIFER DAIRY COOPERATION.

The Heifer Philippines Mindanao Regional Team, in

partnership with TOUCH Foundation and Propegemus

Foundation, and with full support from the National Dairy

Authority (NDA) Mindanao Office has successfully

facilitated three batches of “Lakbay Aral,” or educational

exposure trips, of 100 potential partner families in two

dairy zones in the Agusan del Norte and Agusan del Sur

regions. About 1,200 cows and 1,600 goats are earmarked

for this collaboration nationwide.

19. PARTNERSHIPS INVOLVEMENT.

a. COCO-MILK BLEND PROJECT.

A new product called the” Philippine Evaporada,” a coco milk blend of 20% coco

skim and 80% cow’s milk that can be promoted commercially and possibly utilized for

milk feeding is being explored. This is in collaboration with Philippine Coconut

Authority and the private sector (Coco Village and Coco House). The 80:20 coco-milk

blend that has shown promising results in its shelf-life and nutrient analyses will be

piloted in an area with selected beneficiaries to determine acceptability and compare

nutritional impact with the regular fresh milk feeding. This pilot feeding project is

implemented by a group comprised of the NDA as the project leader, a DOH-medical

officer, private nutritionist, school teachers, the NDA will also provide personnel for

the coordination and quality assurance, products processing responsibilities. The initial feeding trial started on 12November

2013. It was carried out for 60 feeding days,

involving 100 grade one pupils from the Cebu

City Central School. The pupils were divided

into 2 groups, one group with 50 pupils

receiving the regular 200 ml fresh milk daily

while the other 50 children receiving 200 ml of

the 80:20 coco-milk blend five days a week. The

beneficiaries were chosen randomly without

consideration of their nutritional status.

Pre and post MFP protocols like deworming, pre-weighing and orientation prior

feeding were done. A post weighing and project evaluation will be done by the group

as soon as the feeding days are completed.

b. THAILAND DAIRY EDUCATIONAL TOUR.

Six (6) NDA personnel participated on the

observatory visit in selected dairy farms and

animal feed production facilities in Thailand

last 14-19May2013 under the program

“Familiarization Visit of Philippine

Delegation to Explore Cooperation with

Thai Dairy Industry for Managers and

Technicians”. The objective of the program is

to share Thailand’s experiences on dairy

production and processing, animal feed production and dairy tourism projects and to

explore areas of cooperation and strengthen partnership between the Philippines and

Thailand.

This activity was followed by a high level visit on 27May-02June by the Philippine

delegation including the NDA Administrator, PCC Executive Director and the

Chairman of the Dairy Confederation of the Philippines (DairyCon), to further look

into the dairy industry in Thailand. The NDA Administrator also had the opportunity

to participate in the International Livestock Conference in Bangkok organized by the

International Livestock Research Institute and in celebration of the World Milk Day as

organized by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) based in Bangkok. Both

activities were attended by dairy representatives from South East Asian countries.

National Science and Technology Week (NSTW) held at Pearlmont Inn, Cagayan de

Oro City

b. REVISION AND SUBMISSION OF NDA RATPLAN TO GCG.

The NDA submitted its revised Rationalization Plan (RATPLAN) to GCG last

15May2013. The previously submitted RATPLAN was revised with a more responsive

and relevant plan that would address not only the need to provide timely and effective

support services to dairy farmers, but also incorporates a pro-active calculation of the

future needs to accelerate the sustainable development of the local dairy industry. It

steers the NDA towards becoming a full-fledged GOCC mandated to undertake an

industry development role. The RATPLAN also seeks support through a ten year

subsidy for a responsive personnel complement while it gradually generates its own

maintenance, overhead and other operating funds through projects, enterprises and

service packages that its profit centers would generate to pursue the organization’s

corporate operations. GCG expects to release its final evaluation on the second week

of February 2014.
