[0:00]Good morning. My name is Noel. I come from Tarlac. Meron po tayong federation, so this is a national federation. We call it F Gas Papi. Federation of Goats and Sheep and Producers Associations of the Philippines Inc. Ano po? So, uh, this is the official partner of the Department of Science and Technology and of course the Department of Agriculture. And the membership po namin is nationwide. Okay. So, uh, Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. Uh, we come from the private sector. Pero importante ho kasi yung partnership ng gobyerno at saka ng pribadong sektor. Ano po? So, uh, so before I discuss it further, uh, probably I would like you to appreciate something about the goats. Ang tawag po nila sa goat, alam ninyo, it's a poor man's cow. Ano po? So, kasi ang large ruminants, pinsan ng mga kambing ito, mga baka, kalabaw. Ano po? But they are bigger. Bigger animals. Grass eaters din po sila. But yung mga baka po, ang meat ang consumption po niyan is 10 times that of the goat. Ang kalabaw mas malaki, 12 times that of the goat. Ano po? So yung mga magsasaka na hindi kaya ng malaking investment, they invest in smaller animals like the goats or the sheep. Ito po yung typical na farmer. Uh, when you go to the province, ang makikita ho natin eh si Mang Juan na may alagang kambing. Ano po? So, very typical. Either pinapa-pastolan lang nila 'to or they tether it. May tatlo hanggang limang metlong tali at ititutulo sa umaga. Ano po? At babalikan sa hapon. Ano po? That's that's how they manage it traditionally. Pero yung goats po na alaga ng farmer, uh, usually these are Philippine native goats. Ang timbang ho nito, usually nasa 20 kilos, 22 kilos, malaki na yung 23 kilos. Ano po? So, that's the Philippine goat. Ang kagandahan ho sa goats or the small ruminants, uh, the whole family can engage in it as an enterprise. Uh, hindi ho gaya nung mga malalaking hayop, ano po? This is easily managed. It is gender sensitive kasi kahit na mga kababaihan kaya niyang i-manage. In fact, ang analysis dito, it is even recommended for the elderly o yung mga seniors. Ano po? So, the whole family takes part in this enterprise. One salient point about the goat, it's low maintenance. Hindi po siya mahirap i-manage kasi, uh, 75% ng requirement niya, damo. And blessed tayo sa Pilipinas kasi it's a tropical country and marami po damo dito sa atin. Ano po? So, what accounts for the 25 or the 30%? These are the supplements that we can give. Ano po? So, pero ang kami sa farmers livestock school for goat enterprise management, uh, very minimal ang supplementation namin sa feeds. So, we teach the farmers, how to feed the goats using, uh, protein-rich pasture and forages, uh, para makatipid po sila. Ano po? So, that's what we give. Pero despite the fact na low maintenance sila, sa market, mahal po ang kambing. There was one time I remember na nasa farm po ako. Bigla dumating a representative from Monterey, ano po, San Miguel Foods, yung kanilang mga doktor doon. Who happens to be upper class men sa sa vet school. So, nagtanong sila, they subsidiary ang Monterey ng San Miguel Foods. So, sabi nila, "Pwede ba kaming pumasok sa farm?" So, pumasok sila. Nagtanong sila tungkol sa kambing, how it is being bred, paano pinapadami, paano mina-manage. So, sabi ko, "Bakit kayo, uh, it's a good thing na bumisita kayo. Uh, what made you come here?" So, na-observe daw ng company, uh, 4 o'clock in the morning, uh, yung mga carcasses ng goats nakasabit na. Pero 7 o'clock in the morning, wala ka nang mabibili. Well, that's according to their company, ano po. So, dito po 'yun sa Metro Manila. Ang minention niya is Farmers Market. Pero pagdating po sa probinsya, ganun din po. Uh, hindi ka the price of the price of, sino po yung namamalenke? Ah, tita, magkano po ang manok sa palengke? Kahit na may bird flu? Pero, ano naman po, safe po ang mga manok lalo na pag hindi naman dun sa affected area. Opo. Magkano po ang manok per kilo? 140 to 150 siguro. Magkano po ang pork? Ang baboy? Okay. Uh, sa, uh, ang ang beef po, magkano ang beef? Ang beef usually nasa 250, 260. Ano po? Uh, goats, the goats price is from 290 to 300 or 310 per kilo. Ano po? So, kung makikita po natin yung trending sa presyo, from from, uh, poultry to pork to beef to chevon, ano po? Ang international name po ng goats meat is chevon. Ano po? So, ang chevon o karne po ng kambing is even more expensive per kilo kaysa sa presyo ng baka. So, ito po 'yun. Uh, tayo po'y nag-aaral, ano po? Nung po kami'y nag-uumpisa, uh, we all started with a small number of animals. Ang mga farmers ho natin sa buong Pilipinas at ang goat population, 98% po nasa mga magsasaka. 98% are with the small hold farmers. And the bigger farms, yung mga nakita natin kanina, they only account for 2%. So, makikita po natin na, uh, most of the goats in the country nasa mga barangay, nasa pag-aari ng mga magsasaka. Ano po? Ito ang mga magsasaka, they own 1, 2, 5, hanggang mga 20 plus, up to 25. So, they are classified as the small hold farmers. Okay? So, ito naman po, pinakikita natin sa buong bansa. Ito po ang trend ng population ng kambing. Ano po? So, as of 2016, uh, ito po kasi census. We are basing it on census, ano po, because it's the official one, the one from the Bureau of Statistics. So, 3.6 million. Imagine ilang million na po ang Filipino? 104 million? 104 million plus Filipinos.
[7:13]Pero ang number of goats na kinokonsumo natin is only 3.6. So, sabi nung isang mga kaibigan namin sa industry, "Bakit ang taas dati, tapos pababa ng pababa ng pababa?" Balikan po natin 'yan mamaya ha. Pero tingnan po ninyo 'to, how will you correlate the previous slide with this slide? Ito naman po ang slide ng presyo, ano po? Hindi po siya tumataas, hindi po siya bumababa, pero ang trending naman sa presyo ay pataas. Okay? That's the price of goat meat. So, that explains yung potentials ng industry. That explains how how the industry will move on in the future. Ano po? High domestic demand. Kaya po tumataas ang presyo, the rate of slaughter, the rate of consumption is faster than the rate of production. Mas mabilis po tayong kumonsumo kaysa sa mag-produce. Okay? Uh, take for example sa province. I, I, siguro ang gagawin ko na lang po example yung probinsya namin sa Tarlac, ano po? Um, yung established mga eateries dito. Eateries po ito. Wala pa yung restaurants dyan. Wala pa yung meat shop dyan, ano po? Mga karinderya lamang, ano po? 30, 30 eateries in the province. With respect to other provinces, pwede ninyong i-relate mamaya. So, if we have 30 local eateries serving goat meat, ano po yun? One goat a day, isang kambing isang araw, ang isang karinderya would need how many goats in 365 days? So, that's 365 goats. Hindi ba? Kung merong 30 yan, so that's the number of goats that we need in a year to supply these eateries, mga karinderya. Pero may experience ho kami. Sa Tarlac nung bago yung cooperative namin dun, pinahiram ho kami nung mayor. Ang mayor ho namin ngayon is si Mayor Christy Angeles. So, nagpahiram ho siya ng pwesto sa palengke para sa local cooperative. Pero ano ho nangyari? At the end of the term, the the pwesto is as good as new. Hindi ho nagamit. Bakit? Ba't hindi nagamit? Kasi sabi nung mga members ng cooperative, "Oh, sinong magsu-supply?" Pero dapat meron tayong supply sa palengke steady 'to. So, we have to supply the pwesto. Alam ho ninyo, hindi ho nagamit. Bakit? Wala ho makapag-commit e. Kasi sabi nila, kung kung two goats a day, kahit na one goat a day na lang, that's 365 goats a year. Madadamay yung mga breeder namin. Sabi nila. So, ibig sabihin, kulang po talaga ang supply.
[10:17]Okay? So, ibig sabihin ho nito, kung ang tinatanong natin yung saturation point, saturation point na, "Ah, naku, baka marami na yan e." Marami nang kompetensya, hindi na, hindi na masyadong viable. Hindi po. Hindi po. In fact, kung makikita ninyo, it's a global trade. It's a global trade, ano po? Well, anyway, we'll get to that. Sa province of Masbate, before yung yung former, yung former BAI Director, si Dr. Bing Cresencio, nasa Masbate siya. Sabi niya sa akin, "Noel!" "Nasa Masbate ako," sabi niya. "Pero parang I've noticed," sabi niya, "may two truckloads of goats being extracted from the island." Sabi niya, "dadalhin daw sa pier ng Manila." "Ah, ganun, ma'am?" Sabi ko, "Oo. Noel, I have this question. Is this goats, itong dalawang trak ng kambing, is this being replenished?" Sabi niya. Unfortunately, the answer is no. Ano po? So, mas mabilis po tayong mag-slaughter, kumonsumo. Ano po? That's why the government right now and the private sector, nagtutulungan po tayo for herd build up kung tawagin. Pagpaparami ng kambing. We are here working with government and the private partners to order to boost yung pong production ng goats. Okay? Tapos the law of supply and demand, naipakita na po natin kanina 'yan. Napakalaki ng demand. Uh, high export index. Ang study, alam po ninyo yung ano, yung ASEAN integration? Hindi ba ngayon ang ang Southeast Asia, may ASEAN na yan e, 'di ba? So, tax-free po, tariff-free. Lahat ng agricultural products will flow from country to country free of tax. These are for agricultural products. So, we have to look at this commodity competitively. So, look beyond our shores. Kaya lang ang problema ho e, dito na lang sa, dito na lang sa Pilipinas, eh hindi natin ma-solve yung supply. Eh pupunta pa ba tayo sa, 'Di ba? So, I, that talks about the saturation point. And it's a global halal trade. So, the meat is universal. Ang mga Hindu, they don't they don't eat beef. Our Muslim brothers and sisters, they don't eat pork. Pero everybody eats chicken and everybody eats chevon and mutton, yung yung sa lamb or sa sheep. Okay? So, ito po. So, ito ang Pilipinas. Ito ang Pilipinas. Pero, we are in the company of goat eaters. Ano po? Tingnan natin ang ating mga katabi sa sa ASEAN state. They are all goat eaters. So, we have to look beyond our shores. Ano po? Ang market natin hindi lamang ang local market, but we have to look beyond our shores. Kasi,
[13:42]kung competitive tayo, ano po? Um, it's a good business, opo, and, uh, it's worthwhile. So, as the core, ito po ang core product natin. Ang core product natin eh, yung kambing. But from the core product, ano mga pwedeng enterprises? Okay? This is courtesy of DOST P-Card, which is the partner of F Gas Papi. And the small ruminant center at Central Luzon State University. Ano po? So, uh, the core product is the goats, but then, from the goats, you can produce breeders. Ano po? Yung mga gustong mag-upgrade ng kanilang mga alaga, uh, meron po tayong course on breeding. So, we teach, we teach our, uh, our students how to breed. Ano po? The right way of breeding. Uh, from the core product goats, you can produce slaughter goats, which is far from being saturated. Ano po? Ah, pwede ring mga breeder bucks. Yung mga breeder bucks po, kasi sa mga barangay, ang isang bulugan po medyo may kamahalan, like, say for example, 20,000, 25,000, depende sa quality, or even more, ano po? So, ang ginagawa nung iba, community buck. They have this buck. And the, pero buck should be tested. I would like to emphasize, as a veterinarian, uh, and very particular ho kami dito, ayaw namin ng bulugan na hindi na ite-test. So, the the bucks should be tested for communicable diseases like the caprine arthritis and encephalitis and brucellosis. So, pag tested negative yan, it can be used as a community buck. So, yung ibang mga, mga members of the community na gusto niyang i-avail yung breeding services nung breeder na yun, it can be done with a fee. So, dairy based products, of course. Dito po sa Pilipinas, may mga cheese makers na tayo. We have Miss Olive down in Mindanao, and we have Miss Angie Mendoza and Jeff Lim dito naman po sa Tarlac, who produces cheese. We have, uh, Kuya Rene Almeda also, who produces, we have, uh, our Elmer, Elmer Rivera sa Tagaytay also produces cheese. Ano po?
[16:05]So, a handful of people in the industry nagpo-produce na rin po ng keso. Okay? Meat based products, and, alam ho ba ninyo ngayon, meron na ring nagpo-produce ng specific type of food or feed for goats. Ano po? Yung iba nagpo-produce sila ng seedlings, yung iba forages, and yung iba silage. Uh, ito yung burong mais na they they produce it in bulk. Tapos kumukuha ng orders at idi-deliver na lang sa mga farmers and breeders. So, in a nutshell, papaano po nating uumpisahan? Ano po? Example, for if we're going to talk about slaughter, which is yung pong ipi-repair namin for for this morning, ano po? Ito po yung ibang mga sources natin ng negosyo. We have slaughter goats and chevon based products or some of you would want to go into dairying, ano po? So, you have to decide later on. Ano po? Uh, kung saan ba ang gusto ninyong, uh, direction. Nasa slaughter line ba kayo o nasa dairy line kayo? Okay? Pero sa kambing, wala pong sayang. Hindi gaya sa industrialized countries, kinakain lamang nila karne. Pero sa atin, pati lamang loob kinakain. Ah, kung halimbawa 300 pesos per kilo yung laman, 200 pesos yung sinampalukan. That is the ulo and the paa. Tapos 200 pesos din yung lamang loob. This is the internal organs. Ano po? Ang tinatapon lang po dito yung balahibo, yung sungay at yung kuko. Ayos po ba 'yun? And even and even the manure, even the manure, nako-convert po into into cash. Kasi ang technology ngayon is vermiculture. It's one of the technologies na ginagamit ng Federation. Para turuan yung mga farmers to maximize their income. Okay? So, from the, from the farmer na nakikita natin sa barangay na may limang kambing na either nakatali o pinapastulan, uh, probably probably we, uh, he can make some improvements. Ito po yung ating Philippine goat. Ano ho? So, si Philippine goat, native kung tawagin. Pero kahit na native siya, meron siyang angking ganda. Ano po? Ano po yung ganda niya? Mabilis manganak. Ano po? Mabilis manganak. Highly fertile. Highly fertile ang native goat. Secondly, meron po siyang natural immunity under Philippine conditions, matibay ang katawan. Okay? So, but then, ang drawback ang drawback lang ng Philippine goat, dahil maliit ho siya. So, yung economic aspect, wala. Kasi wala kasi siya, the small a small animal won't sell much. Hanggang ganun lang siya e. Kahit na bugbugin mo yan ng feeds, bugbugin mo ng pagkain at magandang management, healthy siya. But then, hanggang dun na lang siya. So, that's what we're doing now. We're doing genetic improvement. So, sa Federation po ngayon, we have two major programs. We have the genetic improvement program and the herd build up program. So, pag genetic improvement program, ginagamitan ho natin yan ng magagandang genetics. So, kanina sa preview ninyo, nakikinig ho ako dun sa dun sa mga preliminaries natin kanina. They've been talking about a lot of breeds of goats. Tama po yun. So, ang pinakamaganda po, when we are starting with, uh, our goat program and our goat project, dapat tama muna ang paraan ng breeding natin. Yung iba kasi masyadong na-e-engganyo na, "Ah, gusto ko meat goat tayo! Meat goat tayo! Let's go for the Boer!" Let's go for the Boer because the Boer is so stocky, so heavy, very massive ang built. Gusto natin makapag-produce tayo ng hayop na ganun, ganun kalaki agad. Ano po? Pero what is this breed all about? Representing all the dairy breeds, ano po? Uh, the Anglo-Nubian is a dual purpose breed. Dairy type siya at saka meat type din siya at the same time. Okay? Pero, sa breeding, breeding procedures po, we are recommending to improve your native animals first and improve their milking ability. Ano po? Ang kailangan muna po nating ma-produce, makapag-produce po tayo ng mga alagain na gumagatas, ano po? Kasi po pagka si native, ginamitan niyo agad ng ng heavy breed like the Boer, ano po mangyayari? Una, mahihirapang manganak. Pangalawa po, yung mapi-produce niya, hindi milker. Kahit na genetically, meron siyang potential lumaki. Pero dahil hindi bastante yung gatas na pino-produce niya, it will stunt its growth. Hindi po niya ma-i-provide yung nutrition na kailangan nung mga kids na iaanak niya. So, what will happen is that, pag hindi proper yung nutrition, dahil kulang ang pino-produce na gatas, mababansot po yung mga napo-produce na kids. Ano po? So, the proper way to to breed would be to develop the milking ability of your herd first. Okay? So, pagka meron na pong magandang milking ability yung napo-produce ninyo na mga doelings and does, that's the time for you to decide. Ako ba'y ready na? Ah, okay na ba 'tong herd ko, ah, in terms of number and in terms of, uh, the milking ability? Then, you can, you can, you can, uh, make another cross. This time, you can cross it with the meat breed. Ano po? So, uh, you'll be able to get a good animal out of those crosses. Okay? So, ito po yung Anglo-Nubian. It's a dual-purpose breed. It's a dairy type. Mataas po ang butterfat nito. Ano po? Yung kanyang gatas, yung pong papalinamnam sa gatas is the butterfat. So, mas mataas ang butterfat compared with the other dairy breeds. Ito yung Boer. Ito po yung meat type, ano po? It's a massive breed of goat and it will revolutionize. It will revolutionize meat production if you are into meat production. Okay? So, yung male, yung male, for example, I bought a male from Australia, ang size po niya is 125 kg. The females nasa between a young female will probably weigh around 45 kilos up to siguro 65 kilos. Ano po? Yun yung mga females na na medyo massive talaga. Okay. So, multiple births po ang kambing. Ibig sabihin, usually, sa unang panganganak, sa pagka dumalaga siya, isa lang. Pero merong dalawa. Pero pag tama po ang edad ng pagbi-breed ninyo, first kidding, dalawa na agad. Yung pong mga nauuna, kung minsan masyadong, masyadong bata pang bi-ni-breed. So, usually, they give one kid. Pero pag tama po ang edad at handa yung katawan na magbuntis, like dapat po 'yan e, more than a year old to a year and a half. Ang ang timbang po ng mga purebreds dapat mga nasa 40 kilos before you breed them. Ano po? And then, they give birth to two kids, twins, dahil nakahanda po yung katawan. But of course, kung kayo'y gagamit naman ng ng ano, ng upgrades or ng native, opo, of course, it's not 40 kilos. It's lesser. Sa Tarlac po, ito po yung ginagawa namin, meron kaming livestock development program dun na ang siyudad namin, uh, we roll out the Farmers Livestock School. For goat enterprise management. Ito pong mga bucks na 'to, after, after our farmers, uh, graduate from the FLS program, the government, we award the bucks. One farmer, one buck. So, that's how we do it there. But now, ang ginagawa po namin, dahil merong artificial insemination program, ano po? Dun sa artificial insemination program, it's a technology na pwede nating gawin. For the farmers na nahihirapan pong kumuha ng isang bulugan, dahil siyempre, hindi naman po lahat eh kaya, ano po? Pero, nandoon yung passion, nandoon yung kagustuhan mong makapag-alaga. So, we do the AI. Ito po, mabibigyan po ng pagkakataon yung simpleng magsasaka na magkaroon ng magandang alaga. Kung hindi niya kaya yung, say for example, 25,000 na buck, one straw will cost about 3, 400 pesos. Ano po? At pag 'yan ang ginamit, yung similya po nun, those are quality bucks. Ano po? The farmer will be able to produce a very good animal, parang meron na siyang sariling bulugan. Okay? So, that's the artificial insemination technology using processed semen. Ano po? Of purebred goats, pwede kayong mamili kahit na anong breed. Available po siya. So, for meat goats, isa pong quality ng meat goat, ah, ay ang karne niya. Among all animals, ha? Sa lahat ng animals, siya po ang pinakamababa ang fat and cholesterol content. Lower than poultry, lower than pork and lower than beef. That's the trademark of chevon. Ang pinag-uusapan po natin, karne, ah. Hindi po yung papaitan. Magpapaitan, mataas ang cholesterol nun. Okay? Ah, dun po pala sa Congress natin, ah, naalala ko 'to. Meron kaming chevon chef. It's a competition wherein competition po ito ng pagluluto ng kambing. So, we're thinking of doing it, ah, na magkakaroon po ng, ah, traditional recipes and mga, ah, culinary portion. Ano po? So, yung pong Federation, we're coming up, iniimbita po kayo this coming, this coming November 20 to 24, the National Congress for Goats and Sheep. Sa Baguio City po gagawin yun. Ano po? So, be our guest. So, isa po sa initiatives natin dito is the Farmers Livestock School. Sabi ho ng dating gobyerno, the previous administration, "Noel," sabi nila, "I think it's time for us to measure the accomplishment of the industry." Pero sabi ho namin sa kanila, that's that's a good concern. Kaya lang, we can hardly do that. Bakit? Kasi, wala tayong common ground. Iba ang input ng gobyerno. Iba ang input ng private sector. And sometimes, other agencies of government may iba ring input. So, this is a unifying factor now, under the current administration. The DOST P-Card, uh, developed for the Department of Agriculture, a very good modality. Ito po ang training modality na kung ang tawagin ay FLS Gem. Farmers Livestock School for Goat Enterprise Management. So, isa lang po ang magiging training mode natin from North to South. Magmula sa Batanes hanggang sa huling isla ng Mindanao. We are talking about one training modality. So, pag isa lang po ang training na ibinibigay natin sa mga farmers, this is a tried and tested modality. Then, at the end of the day, kaya nating sukatin, ano na ba ang naka-accomplish ng industriya in terms of, ah, the farmer's learning, in terms of yung efficiencies? In terms of, pag sinabi nating herd build up, kung 3.6 million tayo ngayon na kambing, probably in two years, in four years, in six years, in 10 years, ilan na ang kambing ng Pilipinas? Kasi naturuan na natin yung mga farmers. Naturuan natin yung mga LGUs. So, ano po yung si FLS? Si FLS ay 28 weeks po ang training niyan. 28 weeks. So, kung bibilangin niyo yun, almost six months, ano? Pero, half day a week lang po yan sa mga farmers. We do it half day a week. Sabi nung iba, "Ang tagal naman. Bakit si 28 weeks?" Kasi ho, yung mga farmers natin, nakita niyo dun sa pie chart natin kanina, 98%. Si farmer kasi, hindi po trained dyan na umupo magmula alas-8:00 hanggang alas-5:00. So, yung attention, yung learning curve nila maikli lang. So, half day a week lang. Sa isang upuan, sa isang session, isa, dalawang technology, kaya po nila yun. Then, let's take a break. Ia-apply po nila sa mga farm nila yan. Come next week, napakaganda ng kanilang reaction. After applying it in their own farms, they are more than excited to attend the next session. So, ang mangyayari po nun, sa susunod na session, isang technology ulit. And it goes on and on. Actually po, sa excitement nung mga farmers, sometimes they're, they're requesting na, "Baka pwedeng dagdagan na natin?" Baka pwedeng mag-whole day na tayo, hindi na half day. Ano po? Kasi they see na this is, this is very applicable sa sitwasyon nila.
