Sir,

I recently bougth 3 female carabao and I would like to know how can I be a recipient to this Bull Loan (purebred Murrah bull) from PCC. I am planning to go into carabao/cattle raising, please need your advise.

try to contact nalang po yung nearest pcc center sa kanilang area  or they can contact their main office sa Neuve ecija

Sir:
    I am planning to have a small venture for owning a female and male carabao.. please advise me for a good breed of carabao and how much .. thank you

The Murrah type Carabao is I think one of the best. Big Bulky body with Generous Milk Production.

Sir ano po ba best breed ng carabao na for dairying in the philippines?

murrah and belgian ang magaganda accordingly sa paggagatas.

sir do you have any news about the philippine carabao or yung Tamaraw?

thank's

Philippine carabao is different sa tamaraw . they have a different dna makeup...

Sa tamaraw there conservation program na ongoing.

Sa Philippine carabao/ swamp type buffalo naman natin is iniimproved ng government by infusing river type buffalo sa bloodline nila like the indian buffalo and bulgarian buffalo.

Sir any news about the brazillian carabao purchased by the goverment? Bakit po nag ka FMD sila?

I have no news about it.

It is possible na hindi na screen mabuti yun mga animals kaya pag dating dito saka lumabas yun sakit.

Ang pag kasabi sa akin from Brazil to  Philippines meron vet na nakabantay sa animal unfortunate nga lang at biglang nagkaFMD

hello po,

Mayroon po ko kalabaw may sugat kanyang leeg for almost three months ano po ang gamot?


Regards,

hussien (getafe bohol)

meron pong wound spray sa mga vet supply na pwede nilang bilhan para yun po ang igamot sa kanilang alaga.

please check din kung sa leeg ba tumatama ang lubid / panali nila sa kalabaw baka po nagagasgas kaya hindi gumagaling.

salamat doc,

anong bang pangalan ng wound spray? pwede ba ang betadine?

ok din po yun betadine pero meron din wound spray sa agrivet supply , i am not sure kung yung isang brand is gusanex ang tawag.

salamat doc

doc nemo,

mayroon po akong alagang kalabaw, nabili ko po nung Oct 2009.  At that time she was around 10 mos. old, after more than a year, noon pong nov 2010, naglandi na daw po according sa tatay ko kaya pina-inseminate po namin sa local vet dito sa amin.  after 21 days umulit po ulit kaya pina-inseminate ulit.  Kaso po after 21 days or so in-heat siya ulit. Ipina-inseminate na po namin sa 2 magkaibang barakong kalabaw plus another 3rd time thru AI last month pero this week lang po naglandi po sya ulit.  bale po 11 times na namin syang pina-inseminate thru natural & artificial ways pero ganun pa din.  There were 2 instances wherein umabot po ng 7 weeks in-between sa paglalandi niya kaya akala namin buntis na pero bigla po maglalandi ulit.  Ask ko lang po kung dapat na po ba siyang ipakatay na lang? or ano pa po kayang way ang dapat naming gawin para magbuntis yung alaga ko? Tnx po

rollibee(sta.maria, bulacan)

sorry for the late reply

benta na lang po nila then bili uli sila pang breeding

doc nemo,

any suggestion po kung saan magandang makahanap o bumili ng kalabaw malakas yung gatas at pang-breeding? medyo mahirap po kasi humanap dito sa gawing bulacan.

thanks po
