This partnership is expected to enhance dairy research and development efforts in Mindanao, supporting local farmers and improving milk production.
Farmers are required to pay only Rs 50 (US$0.59) service charge to insure their cattle.
Before rolling out interventions, MaziwaPlus will investigate the social, economic, and behavioural drivers of mastitis and antibiotic use.
The initiative is designed not only to improve dairy farming productivity but also to contribute to food security and poverty reduction in the region.
