This project aims to assist the shrimp industry by developing quality control materials for microbiological testing laboratories in the country. It is recognized that laboratory testing is an integral part in ensuring food safety through accurate measurement. The DOST-ITDI, through the National Metrology Laboratory, has developed its capability in the field of biological metrology for …
Among the recorded nine (9) naturally-occurring Macrobrachium species in Marinduque, there are 4 species with potentials for culture for their size, including M. australe, M. latimanus, M. lar, and M. latidactylus. These species are among the target species captured by local residents from the wild for domestic consumption and occasionally sold at the local market …
Due to various human interventions like overexploitation, environmental pollution and habitat loss, the natural population of Macrobrachium species is declining. There is also a great deal of confusion over the exact identity of both wild and hatchery-bred M. rosenbergii stocks in the Philippines. The use of mtDNA genes, microsatellite markers and EST/Next gen sequencing data …
This TechnoMart project aims to establish a viable and sustainable Arabica coffee enterprise in the Cordillera, specifically in Sagada, from production of beans to processing of roasted ground coffee, ready for marketing. It has three components: a) organic certification for organic Arabica coffee products, b) value addition of said products for local and international markets, …
This STCBF project intends to promote wider adoption of the recommended S&T interventions in ulang production through STCBF modality; establish a community grower group management system; and enhance active participation and empower the community with the help of the LGUs and local organizations in promoting the application of the recommended technologies. Further, this STCBF project …

The project will be implemented in Alaminos City, Pangasinan wherein a turn key arrangement will be forged by PSU with the Municipal LGU. With the funding support of PCAARRD, the PSU will establish a commercial scale mangrove crab hatchery using the prototype developed by SEAFDEC-AQD in Guindulman, Bohol which is capable of producing about 96,000 …
This project will involve an interdisciplinary team who will work for wider adoption of the technology in Luzon where most of the tilapia hatcheries are located. The dissemination of technology will be in collaboration with other SUCs and LGUs that will result in increased seed production in their respective areas which is highly needed for …
The project was implemented for 2 years (January 1, 2021 – December 31, 2022) by ISU, with a total PCAARRD-GIA funding of Php 2,489,249.64. The project conducted a Virtual Technology Commercialization Training with business pitching. The Technology Transfer Protocol of the University was drafted, reviewed and approved by the BOD, while the University Policy was …
In the Philippines, female goats generally come to heat when the weather is cool and the days are short, that is, from September to February. The long period of anestrus (non-ovulating) from March to August thus limits conception, making it difficult for farmers to provide a consistent supply of goat meat throughout the year. Since …

One critical control point that contributed to low conception rates among artificially inseminated goats is the timing of insemination. Usually, breeders rely on behavioral changes used during natural breeding but these only determine the period of estrus and are not necessarily the best time to inseminate. To advance AI in goats, DOST-PCAARRD funded the development …
