PagAsa is the first calf produced through Embryo Transfer technology that used fresh embryo from a Girolando donor cow. The Embryo Transfer project of the Philippine Carabao Center was able to locally produce embryos from their in-house Girolando cow through optimized fixed time AI (FTAI) and multiple ovulation and embryo transfer (MOET) protocols. PagAsa was …
This DOST funded research project is a collaboration between four (4) agencies such as: CMU, MNH-UPLB, NMP, and DOrSU. This project aims to update, assess and monitor the biodiversity of flora and fauna in four (4) mountain ecosystems of Mindanao namely: Mt. Apo, Mt. Hamiguitan, Mt. Pantaron and Mt. Tago; evaluate their physico-chemical properties for …
In order to create a more effective localized biodiversity and natural resource management system, the Cebu Technological University (CTU) in Argao campus implemented the project, “Flora and Fauna Assessment Using Permanent Biodiversity Monitoring System in Cebu Island Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs),” funded by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) under the Niche Centers in …
This project assessed the genetic structure of natural almaciga populations and other selected native trees producing chemical products, and characterize transcriptome of Agathis philippinensis to identify gene associated with resin biosynthesis and to screen and develop molecular markers for other basic molecular functions, cellular components, or biological processes identified using bioinformatic tools. Significant accomplishments include …
This project aims to identify the important endemic flora present in Cebu Key Biodiversity Areas, assess their genetic diversity and population structure through DNA barcoding. Accomplishments include 2 new species identified (Dasymaschalon americaleilalii; Plocoglottis rowenae), and Over 100 samples processed for DNA barcode.
DLSU developed a hardware and a system for harvesting and drying lab-lab to make it available for use year-round. The researchers developed the lab-lab biomass as a cost-competitive feedstock for milkfish fingerlings. This involved the design and fabrication of an automated machine vision-based capable of harvesting the algal mat. Drying characteristics of lab-lab have been …
DOST-PCAARRD, in partnership with the University of the Philippines Visayas-National Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (UPV-NIMBB) conducted a feeding trial wherein the project team supplemented benfotiamine in the tilapia’s diet. Benfotiamine is a derivative of Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) which improves carbohydrate utilization in diabetic human subjects. Since most, if not all, aquatic animals are …
UPV conducted pilot tests on incorporating the lumot or Filamentous Green Algae Rhizoclonium riparium in the Diet of Nile Tilapia. They evaluated whether or not the incorporation of Rhizoclonium meal into the diet of tilapia in two farm areas increases profitability. They also refined feeding scheme pertinent to the technology. While lumot has always been …
Copra cake, a by-product of the coconut oil industry of the Philippines was subjected to a solid state fermentation process using technology developed by Biotech of UP Los Baños in order to enhance the protein content of copra meal to about 45% that is comparable to soybean meal. This processed product is known as protein …
This program has developed an alternative source of larval feed especially when rations of live microalgae are insufficient. Microalgae paste was utilized for two production cycles in order to determine its acceptability and profitability compared with the conventional hatchery protocols. The program also developed proper packaging of the microalgae paste and determined its optimum shelf …
