somatic cell count (SCC). The facility is presently available at the PCC National Headquarters. Service Standards: Under normal circumstances, the analysis is completed within nine working days from the date or request or submission of milk samples. Raw milk samples can be preserved up to 7 days at 40C-50C, if potassium dichromate is added. If milk sample is unpreserved (no added potassium dichromate), place the sample in a container with ice then immediately submit to the laboratory for analysis the soonest time possible (within 2 days). Unpreserved samples maybe analyzed up to 72 hours after initial collection of milk samples. Prospective clients should first make arrangement with milk laboratory personnel before submission of samples for orientation/training on proper milk sampling, handling, and storage scheduling.

units, DA-Regional Field Units (DA-RFUs), PCC regional centers and other interested agencies. AI is used to produce animals with better productivity for milk and meat, without disregard for draft power through harnessing superior genetic materials of dairy buffalo breed. The strategy is to cross the native swamp buffaloes with the dairy breed and to follow sustained backcrossing to at least four generations to produce animals with milk and meat producing potentials equivalent to the purebred dairy parents.

PCC trains VBAITs to provide AI services in the community with a fee, which is based on the existing price

acceptable in the locality (ranges from Php300 to Php1,000). In places,

where there is no trained VBAIT or LGU Al technician, the conduct of AI in the villages is usually based on the

schedules arrived at during the annual planning activities of PCC and the LGUs. For those coming from the

LGUs, processing of request is completed within two weeks. For

“on-call AI”(usually in areas that are at close proximity to the centers)

that is based on natural heat,
