ILOILO CITY, Nov 11 (PNA) -– The Iloilo Provincial Veterinary Office (PVO) has distributed farm animals to identified farmers in Carles and Barotac Viejo towns.
These are donations received from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations as part of their assistance to victims of typhoon Yolanda.
Dr. Darel Tabuada of the PVO said that last Friday 16 carabaos shipped from Batangas by the FAO were given to farmers in Carles.
These animals were particularly given to the coco farmers with the program tied up with the Philippine Coconut Authority. The farmers-beneficiaries were also provided farm equipment.
Other farmers could also benefit from the provided carabaos as initial beneficiaries are to give the offspring of these animals to them.
The PVO also recently distributed 10 carabaos to farmers in Barotac Viejo. There were also given 100 native female goats and four male goats.
Carles also received 100 female goats and four males goats.
