Ruminant Feeding was discussed by Neil Cordenete, faculty member of CANR. Ruminant Housing and Sanitation was presented by Joseph B. Nieva, Head of DAS. Meanwhile, the Prospects of Ruminant Production was tackled by Angelo Francis F. Atole, PhD, CANR faculty member and extension project leader. The topic on Health and Diseases of Ruminants was delivered by Dr. Czarina Mae A. Acuña, faculty member of the College of Veterinary Medicine.
The training was attended by members of TUFAC together with their officers, including Josephine Violeta, Chairman of TUFAC, and Edith Vina Napagal, Secretary of the cooperative. Hon.
