The Central Bicol State University of Agriculture (CBSUA), in collaboration with the Department of Agriculture–Poultry and Livestock Division, conducted the dispersal of native chickens to identified farmer-beneficiaries in the municipality of Tigaon, Camarines Sur, on October 29, 2025.
The project is titled “Evaluation of Select Attributes on Growth Performance and Meat Yield Quality of Camarines Native Chicken Reared under Improved Production System and Technology.” The dispersal activity aims to further strengthen native chicken production in the region by providing quality stocks and technical support to farmer-beneficiaries. This initiative is part of the continuous implementation of the native chicken project jointly supported by the Department of Agriculture–Philippine Rural Development Project (DA–PRDP) and CBSUA, with the goal of promoting sustainable poultry livelihood among rural communities.
Project Leader Mr. Carlo B. Sabales highlighted that the partnership signifies the unwavering commitment of both the government and the academe to uplift and empower farming communities. The activity was conducted in close coordination with the DA–Poultry and Livestock Division, spearheaded by Mr. Marianito A. Tesorero, RAgr., MSAs ACC III, Regional Livestock and Poultry Coordinator, together with Mr. Ronnie Purisima, Agriculturist/Technical Staff, and the Municipal Agriculture Office (MAO) of Tigaon, ensuring transparent distribution and proper documentation of the dispersed stocks. Representatives from CBSUA and DA were likewise present to supervise the activity and extend technical assistance on proper animal management and production practices.
The beneficiaries from Tigaon include Ms. Rebecca S. Purisima, Ms. Angelita A. Cerillo, Ms. Maricel C. Taroy, and Ms. Prescilla G. Bolima, who were among the validated recipients of the project. They had previously received housing materials and range nets for the establishment of improved native chicken facilities. With the recent dispersal of native chickens, the beneficiaries are now fully equipped to begin production under the enhanced system. | 𝘙𝘦𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘩𝘰𝘵𝘰𝘴 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘔𝘴. 𝘑𝘰𝘷𝘪𝘦𝘭𝘺𝘯 𝘎𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘯
