BACOLOD City – The Provincial Veterinary Office (PVO) is exploring measures to develop the livestock and poultry sector in Negros Occidental.
The PVO holds monthly consultative meetings as part of the initiatives of the provincial government to produce more livestock and poultry products, said Provincial Veterinarian Renante Decena on Friday.
He added that the consultative meetings will underscore the animal diversification and livelihood program in the province.
“We are banking on the active participation of all stakeholders involved in livestock and poultry production,” Decena said.
The latest meeting was held last Feb. 27 in Victorias City. It was attended by PVO personnel, city veterinarians, municipal agriculturists, and livestock technicians.
PVO veterinarians also participated in the 86th Scientific Conference and Annual Convention in Iloilo City to gain knowledge on techniques about prevention, diagnosis and treatment of different animal diseases. (PNA/PN)
