THE UNIVERSITY will no longer depend so much on commercial feeds for its poultry and livestock projects.
The present administration has a plan to rehabilitate and revive the feed mill put up during the time of the late former President Elias L. Calacal to allow the production of feeds using available resources such as corn.
The proposal was approved by the BOR in its regular meeting, Sept. 6.
The Business Directorate, the project proponent, said that as the cost of fertilizers and feeds for poultry and livestock keep increasing, the profitability of the ventures using such inputs is at stake. They believe that if the university can use available resources and reduce, if not eliminate, its dependence on commercial feeds and fertilizers, the profitability of such projects would be enhanced.
According to Dr. Oscar M. Agpaoa, head of the Business Directorate, MMSU’s farmlands shall be continuously planted with corn during the dry season and that harvest will be no longer sold as this will be used in the production of feeds utilizing the feed mill. According to Agpaoa, big-time hog growers in Bulacan no longer use commercial feeds. They mix their own as savings in doing this have been calculated to be significant in. At the same time, they are able to control fat and lean in their fatteners, Agpaoa said.
Poultry and livestock wastes will be further used in the production of organic fertilizer to reduce the dependence of farm lands – especially those used in corn production – on commercial inorganic fertilizers.
