Development and Testing of Complete Nutrient Diet (CND) for Growing and Dairy Buffalo Complete nutrient diet (CND) is the feed ration developed to meet the nutrient requirement of an animal for its growth and production purposes (meat or dairy). The Philippine Carabao Center (PCC) developed CND with minimal supplementation of concentrates to extend the energy, …
Project FRIES or the Freshwater Morphology Information-Encoding System, is a technology developed by a team of Science teachers and students of the Philippine Science High School, Eastern Visayas Campus through the PCAARRD-GIA funded project titled “Project 3. River flow computational modelling of the Binahaan River System in Leyte” under the “Biodiversity and Vulnerable Ecosystems Research …

The Watershed Decision Support System (WDSS) uses modern information and communication technologies to provide support across the three main phases of decision-making: (i) he gathering of “intelligence” for identifying the need for change; (ii) “design” or development of alternative strategies, plans, or options for solving the problem identified during the intelligence-gathering phase, and (iii) the …
To address the decrease in shrimp production and adaptation to the fast-evolving demands of the new normal due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the University of San Agustin, in partnership with the Marmi Agricultural Corporation as its industry collaborator located in Silay City, developed a biofloc technology (BFT) protocol for the tank-based nursery production of white …

The success of any selective breeding program relies on the genetic diversity of the founder lines so that the selection progresses forward without the negative influence of inbreeding depression. Through this project implemented by the University of the Philippines Visayas, three families of P. vannamei (KONA, SIS & Philippine local) were obtained from different commercial …
The University of Santo Tomas led by Dr. Mary Beth B. Maningas developed a JAmp-AHPND Diagnostic Kit, a loop mediated amplification-based, rapid detection platform for AHPND in shrimps. The name is shorthand for Juan Amplification and emphasizes the kit’s main features: a Philippine-made detection tool that can amplify target viral DNA using one amplification temperature …
Shrimp aquaculture is considered globally as an economically important industry, providing a major source of livelihood especially in countries with large coastal areas such as the Philippines. However, a bacterial disease such as White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV), contributes to the decline in shrimp production. Thus, early monitoring strategies for diseases is an integral part …
A project titled “A rapid cost-effective method to screen potential sources of immunostimulants and growth promoting feed additives for Scylla serrata using a functional genomics approach”, being implemented by the De La Salle University, aims to screen potential sources of immunostimulants and growth promoting feed additives for S. serrata. Currently, there are no commercial immunostimulant …

A project on Improvement of larval rearing hatchery under the program Refinement of Mud Crab Hatchery Technology was implemented to address the issues such as the high investment and cost of production due to additional facilities and labor for natural food production, low survival rate of megalopa stage due to Molt Death Syndrome (MDS) and …
Of the three mangrove crab species in the Philippines, Scylla serrata, or the giant mangrove crab, is capable of growing faster and bigger compared to S. tranquebarica and S. olivacea. There is no obvious morphological marker to distinguish one species from the other. Fishermen are unable to determine the species of crablets captured from the …
