The PNZDP is a five (5) year collaborative program between the Philippines

and New Zealand which aims to assist in the development of a profitable,

equitable and sustainable Philippine dairy industry. The project will benefit the

dairy farmers by providing technical and farm management interventions to

enhance farmers’ productivity through improved dairy animal nutrition which

eventually will result to increased dairy animal reproductive performance

and milk yields.

b. INFUSION OF DAIRY ANIMALS IN MINDANAO

A total of 500 heads of imported Holstein Friesian

sahiwal cattle arrived in Maramag, Bukidnon last

5June2016. These animals were purchased by the

Universal Harvester Dairy Farm, Incorporated with

animals in the country.

c. INFUSION OF DAIRY ANIMALS IN SOUTH LUZON

One of the NDA-assisted dairy farms, the Benacorn Corporation, recently

imported a total of 240 heads of breedable Holstein cross Jersey heifers from

Australia. Said farm is located in San Cristobal, San Pablo, Laguna. These
