40 pigs turned over to beneficiaries in Kabankalan City
BACOLOD CITY -- Forty gilts (young female pigs) from Pig Improvement Company were turned over by the Office of the Provincial Veterinarian headed by Dr. Renante J. Decena to the Kabankalan City Agriculture Office recently.
Recipients of these pigs are identified by the city agriculture office in the different barangays in the city.
The office sees to it that recipients can well afford to raise the pig until it gets pregnant. Recipients are then required to give back 4 piglets to the agriculture office as form of payment. These piglets will again be given to other interested parties.
With the addition of forty piglets, there are now a total of 131 piglets distributed in Kabankalan City under this program. (PIA/cad)
