Background and Rationale |
The present project is aligned with the Philippine Development Plan (PDP) 2011- 2016, geared towards food security, specifically in protecting local swine and cattle (meat and dairy) businesses and for the improvement of goods (meat and dairy products) that are for public consumption. It is also consistent with the guiding and interrelated principles under the Agrikulturang Pinoy Framework as the project will enhance animal health to ensure safe and quality meat products.
