It’s now two-and-a-half years old and weighing 700 kilograms. But what is most important is that it is now "contributing" semen to help upgrade the local cattle industry.


The bull, once bandied about as the symbol of a brighter future of the local dairy industry, is half Holstein  Friesian and half  Sahiwal.

                    [Summary] => This piece is particularly for smallholder livestock raisers.


Flemigia (scientific name: Flemingia macrophylla; local name, "malabalatong"), a leguminous tropical shrub, has been found as a good source of dietary protein for ruminant animals (cattle, carabao, goat).


It contains 22.7 percent crude protein (CP) and eight percent tannin.
