Bagulin goat raisers visit Tagudin
Traditionally, goat raising has been common to barangay folks with the practice
of tethering ("wayway system"). They bring the goats early in the morning to the
fields to graze, then bring them back to their shelter in the late afternoon.
This method is widely practiced among goat raisers, up to now, not knowing that
tethering early in the morning is harmful to their animals because parasites are
still at the upper portion of the leaves of grasses and the goats could easily
eat them up while grazing. These parasites will cause scouring, liverflukes and
other parasitic diseases especially during rainy season which greatly affect the
health of the animals.
It is in this juncture that the Local Government of Tagudin, Ilocos Sur, through
the initiative of Mayor Jun, coordinated with the Department of Agriculture, RFU
I, San Fernando City, La Union,conducted the Farmer Livestock School on
Integrated Goat Management to the different barangays to educate goat raisers.
This training helps the raisers to improve their management system and contibute
a lot in the success of this endeavor.
Last February 21, 2007, 24 goat raisers from the town of Bagulin in La union,
came to Tagudin for a "Lakbay Aral". They were very much impressed on the
upgraded stocks of Mrs. Crispina Areola, the Barangay Chairman of Baracbac and
also with those of Mr. Federico Villanueva, another goat raiser from Cabugbugan
regarding his feeding formulations.
Tagudin, now ranks second (2nd) in the entire Region I in terms of goat
production.
