#AItraining | In pursuit of increased livestock population in Region 12, the Livestock Program of the Department of Agriculture 12 continues to develop initiatives that intensify Artificial Insemination (AI)-activities.
In collaboration with the Philippine Carabao Center at University of Southern Mindanao, the twenty-day advanced training on livestock’s reproductive management kickstarted today, October 9, 2023, in Kabacan, Cotabato, and part of the month-long celebration of the Livestock and Poultry Month.
Ten AI technicians from various municipalities joined the said training to further boost the livestock industry in their respective areas.
The training covered a wide range of topics, including the heat detection, estrus synchronization and pregnancy diagnosis and management. Participants will also gain hands-on experience in performing AI on livestock.
AI is a breeding technique where sperm cells are collected from a male animal and manually placed into the reproductive tract of a female animal.
