The document discusses the Test-Interval Method (TIM), a common practice for measuring total milk yield (TMY) in small ruminants. TIM uses a formula that calculates TMY based on milk measurements taken at intervals after birth and between subsequent milkings. It originated as a way for farmers and organizations to evaluate goat performance and rank animals for selective breeding programs to improve genetics. TIM can be used on individual farms or in government programs.
This document discusses standards for slaughtering and cutting goats. It outlines proper procedures for transporting goats to slaughter, ante-mortem and post-mortem inspection, and slaughter methods. Detailed cutting schemes for six prime cuts of chevon are also presented. Adopting these standards would help produce clean meat through proper hygiene, allow for higher carcass recovery, demand higher prices, and serve as a guideline for developing policies around goat slaughtering.
The document summarizes research on a herbal dewormer called MCM for goats. MCM is created from a mixture of three Philippine plants - makahiya, caimito, and makabuhay. Clinical trials showed MCM, administered as either a 500mg capsule or 500ul liquid twice at a 2 week interval, was effective at eliminating the parasitic roundworm Haemonchus contortus in goats. This led to increased health, milk and meat production in treated goats. The document provides details on the formulation, dosage, availability and pricing of the herbal MCM dewormer and encourages farmers to try and support this natural treatment option for healthier goats.
The document discusses a new Loop-mediated isothermal AMPlification (LAMP) technique for detecting haram in meat samples. The LAMP kit provides affordable, easy-to-use, and reliable testing that produces accurate results. It is being developed to support halal certification, authentication of halal food, and exportation of halal meat. The LAMP technique could ensure meat is properly certified as halal in a cost-effective way without expensive equipment.
Detecting visual-media-borne disinformation: a summary of latest advances at ...VasileiosMezaris

The Limited Role of the Streaming Instability during Moon and Exomoon FormationSérgio Sacani
It is generally accepted that the Moon accreted from the disk formed by an impact between the proto-Earth and
impactor, but its details are highly debated. Some models suggest that a Mars-sized impactor formed a silicate
melt-rich (vapor-poor) disk around Earth, whereas other models suggest that a highly energetic impact produced a
silicate vapor-rich disk. Such a vapor-rich disk, however, may not be suitable for the Moon formation, because
moonlets, building blocks of the Moon, of 100 m–100 km in radius may experience strong gas drag and fall onto
Earth on a short timescale, failing to grow further. This problem may be avoided if large moonlets (?100 km)
form very quickly by streaming instability, which is a process to concentrate particles enough to cause gravitational
collapse and rapid formation of planetesimals or moonlets. Here, we investigate the effect of the streaming
instability in the Moon-forming disk for the first time and find that this instability can quickly form ∼100 km-sized
moonlets. However, these moonlets are not large enough to avoid strong drag, and they still fall onto Earth quickly.
This suggests that the vapor-rich disks may not form the large Moon, and therefore the models that produce vaporpoor disks are supported. This result is applicable to general impact-induced moon-forming disks, supporting the
previous suggestion that small planets (<1.6 R⊕) are good candidates to host large moons because their impactinduced disks would likely be vapor-poor. We find a limited role of streaming instability in satellite formation in an
impact-induced disk, whereas it plays a key role during planet formation.

Discovery of Merging Twin Quasars at z=6.05Sérgio Sacani
We report the discovery of two quasars at a redshift of z = 6.05 in the process of merging. They were
serendipitously discovered from the deep multiband imaging data collected by the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC)
Subaru Strategic Program survey. The quasars, HSC J121503.42−014858.7 (C1) and HSC J121503.55−014859.3
(C2), both have luminous (>1043 erg s−1
) Lyα emission with a clear broad component (full width at half
maximum >1000 km s−1
). The rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) absolute magnitudes are M1450 = − 23.106 ± 0.017
(C1) and −22.662 ± 0.024 (C2). Our crude estimates of the black hole masses provide log 8.1 0. ( ) M M BH = 3
in both sources. The two quasars are separated by 12 kpc in projected proper distance, bridged by a structure in the
rest-UV light suggesting that they are undergoing a merger. This pair is one of the most distant merging quasars
reported to date, providing crucial insight into galaxy and black hole build-up in the hierarchical structure
formation scenario. A companion paper will present the gas and dust properties captured by Atacama Large
Millimeter/submillimeter Array observations, which provide additional evidence for and detailed measurements of
the merger, and also demonstrate that the two sources are not gravitationally lensed images of a single quasar.

The use of probiotics and antibiotics in aquaculture production.pptxMAGOTI ERNEST
Aquaculture is one of the fastest growing agriculture sectors in the world, providing food and nutritional security to millions of people. However, disease outbreaks are a constraint to aquaculture production, thereby affecting the socio-economic status of people in many countries. Due to intensive farming practices, infectious diseases are a major problem in finfish and shellfish aquaculture, causing heavy loss to farmers (Austin & Sharifuzzaman, 2022). For instance Bacterial fish diseases are responsible for a huge annual loss estimated at USD 6 billion in 2014, and this figure has increased to 9.58 in 2020 globally.
Disease control in the aquaculture industry has been achieved using various methods, including traditional means, synthetic chemicals and antibiotics. In the 1970s and 1980s oxolinic acid, oxytetracycline (OTC), furazolidone, potential sulphonamides (sulphadiazine and trimethoprim) and amoxicillin were the most commonly used antibiotics in fish farming (Amenyogbe et al., 2020). However, the indiscriminate use of antibiotics in disease control has led to selective pressure of antibiotic resistance in bacteria, a property that may be readily transferred to other bacteria (Bondad‐Reantaso et al., 2023a). Traditional methods are ineffective against controlling new disease in large aquaculture systems. Therefore, alternative methods need to be developed to maintain a healthy microbial environment in aquaculture systems, thereby maintaining the health of the cultured organisms.
Compositions of iron-meteorite parent bodies constrainthe structure of the pr...Sérgio Sacani
Magmatic iron-meteorite parent bodies are the earliest planetesimals in the Solar System,and they preserve information about conditions and planet-forming processes in thesolar nebula. In this study, we include comprehensive elemental compositions andfractional-crystallization modeling for iron meteorites from the cores of five differenti-ated asteroids from the inner Solar System. Together with previous results of metalliccores from the outer Solar System, we conclude that asteroidal cores from the outerSolar System have smaller sizes, elevated siderophile-element abundances, and simplercrystallization processes than those from the inner Solar System. These differences arerelated to the formation locations of the parent asteroids because the solar protoplane-tary disk varied in redox conditions, elemental distributions, and dynamics at differentheliocentric distances. Using highly siderophile-element data from iron meteorites, wereconstruct the distribution of calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs) across theprotoplanetary disk within the first million years of Solar-System history. CAIs, the firstsolids to condense in the Solar System, formed close to the Sun. They were, however,concentrated within the outer disk and depleted within the inner disk. Future modelsof the structure and evolution of the protoplanetary disk should account for this dis-tribution pattern of CAIs.

DR. PATRICIO S.
FAYLON served as the
Executive Director of
the Philippine Council for
Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research
and Development, a planning council of the
Department of Science and Technology (PCAARRD-
DOST) from August 1999 until January 2015, holding
this position for fifteen (15) years. He rose from the
ranks, having been a program specialist, director of the
Livestock Research Division, and Deputy Executive
Director for Research and Development of PCAARRD. As
ED, he was responsible for leading the Philippine
National Agriculture and Aquatic Resources Research
System in the formulation of framework, thrusts and
programs for the development of the agriculture,
aquatic and natural resources sectors, as well as
generation and allocation of funds for this purpose. His
quality leadership has enabled the council to attain the
ISO 9001:2008 certification and the Philippine Quality
Award – Level 1. He was also recognized for having
developed and maintained extensive linkages with
international and local organizations, allowing the
council to sustain its resource generation activities. It
was under his administration that the Council’s Techno
Gabay Program, an agricultural extension modality,
spread and was embraced by the local government
units throughout the country. Funds for PCAARRD S&T
programs tremendously increased under his leadership.
He worked briefly with the Department of Agriculture
in various capacities: as the Executive Director of the
Livestock Development Council where he spearheaded
the formulation of comprehensive policy guidelines for
the development of the livestock industry; as program
director of the Makamasa Livestock Program where he
led in the formulation programs designed to accelerate
and/or expand viable livestock projects; and as head of
the Minimum Access Volume (MAV) Secretariat that
implemented the policies, guidelines and procedures
on MAV and recommended MMC the allocations of
qualified MAV licensees, approved the MAV import
certificate.
Dr. Faylon was chair, adviser, member and consultant in
various committees and programs, internal and
external to PCAARRD. He led the Los Baños Science
Community Foundation, Inc. (LBSCFI) from 2000 to
2005. He also chaired the Regional Network on Plant
Genetic Resources, based at International Plant Genetic
Resources Institute, Malaysia in 2001. He was a
member of the Planning Committee tasked to update
the Philippine Medium Term Development Plan in
2001. He was also a member of the Policy Advisory
Council of the Australian Centre for International
Agricultural Research (ACIAR) from 2002 until 2011. Dr.
Faylon served as technical consultant, project leader,
coordinator and member to different programs and
management audit committees, local and international;
served as a member of various Boards of Trustees, and
review team of international centers, CGIAR, regional

6. A Message from the Immediate Past President
DR. JEZIE A. ACORDA
(Farewell speech of PSAS
Immediate Past President JA
Acorda during the Closing
Ceremony of the 52nd PSAS
Annual Convention)
A pleasant evening to everyone!
When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad,
consider: God has made the one as well as the other.
Therefore, a man cannot discover anything about his
future. Ecc 7:14
It is both with sadness and joy that I stand here in front of
you giving my last message as your President. Sadness
because I am about to leave the PSAS Governing Council
after serving first as Council Member in 1999, as Editor in
chief of the Philippine Journal of Veterinary and Animal
Sciences from 2000-2001 and then from 2009-2013, then
as your Vice-President last year and your President this
year. In fact, I grew fond of my stint in the Governing
Council that I hesitated running for vice-president because
I thought to myself that I have to leave the Council after
three years. Truly, the years I have spent in the Governing
Council are times of growth in relationships, in my career
and personal life. It was really a great privilege, challenge
and joy to work together with brilliant and hard-working
members of the Society.
But it is also with joy that I relinquish the helm of the
presidency knowing that the Society is in God’s good
grace. Although it saddens me not to see many of the
outstanding and brilliant senior stalwarts of our Society, I
am happy to know that we have more than enough young
blood in our new members to take their place. I am
thankful to God for the vision that He has given us which is
being pursued by our leadership in the Governing Council.
I praise God also for our financial growth, reaching almost
P2 million in our ending balance for the past fiscal year.
As I leave the leadership of the Society, I see two
challenges which I believe the next leadership should
pursue. The first is to continue to reach out to our
membership all over the country.
We have done this through outreach program, lecture
series, writeshops and coordinating with our Regional
Chapters. I pray that we may continue to do this. I
invite those who desire to conduct writeshops in
research design and writing scientific articles for
publication or other trainings, workshops and seminars,
to coordinate with the Governing Council. We really
want to help you in whatever way we can. I hope that
we also will continue to strengthen our Regional
Chapters. In addition, I hope that our website and
membership directory may truly function to help our
members link with other members of the Society for
collaboration in education, research and business.
The second challenge is to continue recruiting
veterinarians in our Society. It is an unspoken fact that
veterinarians in the PSAS Convention comprise only
around 20-30% of the participants, which amounts to
only about 60-90 people in 300 attendees. The
Philippine Veterinary Medical Association, on the other
hand, easily holds its Conventions with around 1,500
participants. Our Society which consists of both Animal
Scientists and Veterinarians should theoretically have
more participants than that. I believe that the past
leadership, particularly the veterinarians, have tried to
address this issue. How do we attract more
veterinarians in the Society? When we surveyed why
many veterinarians do not attend PSAS convention, one
consistent answer was, “I thought that PSAS is only for
animal scientists”. Perhaps, we need more effort to
promote our Society to Veterinarians. Or perhaps, it is
about time to do a radical thing, like changing the name
of our society to Philippine Society of Veterinary and
Animal Sciences, just like our journal to attract
veterinarians.
There have been good times and there have been bad
times, but God has always been on my side. And I praise
God for giving me a partner to comfort me and support
me and remind me that this is not my battle, but God’s.
To Him be all the glory forevermore.
Thank you very much and good evening!

7. A Message from the PSAS President
DR. ERIC P. PALACPAC
(Acceptance speech of PSAS
President EP Palacpac
during the Closing
Ceremony of the 52nd PSAS
Annual Convention)
It is with great privilege and humility that I am accepting
the responsibility passed on to me by Dr. Jezie Acorda
whose qualities as a leader and as immediate past
president of PSAS are truly admirable. I appreciate very
much the trust that the society bestowed on me when I
was elected or should I say selected by a very influential
mafia (kidding aside) last year as vice president and
incoming president. Many of you know me personally or at
least heard of me. But I’m sure many of you are also
wondering, who is this guy? Bakit lagi siyang
pinapalakpakan? Why all of a sudden he is the PSAS
president? I can’t blame you if you feel that way. I also feel
the same. So you’re not alone. Kidding aside, probably
there is a justifiable reason why I am delivering this
message right now and rest assure that I and my fellow
officers will live up to the tradition of excellence and
relevance that the PSAS stands for.
I was a fresh graduate from UPLB when I first joined the
society in 1988 and later became a life member. It was
during one of the PSAS conventions when I first
encountered the name Dr. Libertado Cruz, a very prolific
researcher that time and, soon, also became a PSAS
president. Little did I know that he will be my boss at PCC
for the next 20 years. Now, he is retired from the
government service but I still look up to him as my mentor
when it comes to research administration. So, thank you
Dr. Cruz.
Dr. Acorda’s slogan last year was “One Heart One Quest”.
In Tagalog, Isang Puso Isang Paglalakbay o Paghahanap o
Pakikipagsapalaran. But the essence of that slogan is unity
and cohesiveness among us members of the society in the
pursuit of its mission. I intend to carry on the same slogan
but with an adage, “One Heart One Quest One Victory”. A
successful or triumphant outcome of our quest as a united
society will complete the picture. And we should focus on
achieving the success indicators of our planned activities
and have an optimistic perspective.
Along this line, I will continue the noble activities of the
society that its previous leaderships have started. But
during my term as President, I will particularly focus on
pursuing the following:
1. Catalyze the revisiting of SUC curriculum related to
producing more quality and innovative researches in
the animal and veterinary sciences
2. Include a category of “Development” in the scientific
sessions during the annual convention for meaningful
projects that are applied in approach.
3. Reinvigorate the local chapters and let each chapter
has an automatic seat in the GC.
4. Organize lecture series and outreach programs which
will give more impact to the end users particularly to
the animal industry players
5. Strengthen the recruitment of more members from
the SUCs and also from the government and private
entities.
6. Review and revise appropriately some of the criteria
for the standing awards to make them more
competitive and equitable
7. Strengthen linkage and foster specific collaborations
with local and foreign organizations of relevant
interests.
8. Work out the necessary steps towards the indexing
of PJVAS by Thomson Reuters.
One year may be too short for all these plans to bear
fruits. But I am certain that with the General Assembly,
its Governing Council, and animal industry partners, the
PSAS will remain as it is, a Society that thrives on its
excellent people and its noble purpose for being.
Let us join hands and brains to make our vision for the
Society a reality.
I thank my family for the inspiration, my colleagues at
PCC for the support and motivation, and the PSAS
General Assembly for the rare opportunity to lead and
serve the Society.
God bless us all!

1st Quarter Writeshops
16
The Philippine Society of Animal Science conducted
two writeshops (writing workshops) in the first quarter
of 2016. The PSAS has been at the forefront in
conducting writeshops to provide researchers with
articles for publication in refereed scientific journals
The first leg of “Writeshop on Writing Scientific
Articles for Publication” was held last January 29 to
30, 2016 at the Cagayan Valley Agriculture, Aquatic
and Resources Research Development (CVAARRD)
Complex, Isabela State University (ISU), Echague,
Isabela. This event was hosted and co-sponsored by
CVAARRD under the leadership of its Executive
Director and former PSAS President Dr. William
Medrano.
Thirteen Animal Scientists and Veterinarians attended
the writeshop. Five of the participants are regular PSAS
members and one is a new member.
Dr. Jezie A. Acorda, the principal lecturer was assisted
by the facilitators: Drs. Marianne Leila S. Flores, Girlie
May Acorda, Karlo Romano B. Gicana, and Mary Jean
G. Bulatao.
The second leg of the same writeshop was held last
March 18 to 19 in Sultan Kudarat State University
(SKSU), Takurong City, Sultan Kudarat. It was co-
sponsored by SKSU under the leadership of its
President Dr. Rolando F. Hechanova.
Twenty-two faculty and staff from all across the SKSU
attended the two-day event. Seven of them signed up
to join the PSAS.
The PSAS Writeshop team then travelled to Visayas
State University at Baybay City, Leyte last 25-26 April
2016 to conduct the third writeshop for the year. This
time the activity was co-sponsored by the PSAS-Visayas
Chapter under the leadership of her President, Dr.
Julius V. Abela. The team, composed of Dr. JA Acorda,
Dr. KRB Gicana, Ms GM Acorda and Dr. MLS Flores
coached a total of 27 participants including 11 PSAS
members.
During the writeshops, Philippine Journal of Veterinary
and Animal Science (PJVAS) Editor-in- Chief, Dr. MLS
Flores turned over several journals of the PJVAS to
CVAARRD and SKSU to serve as references for the
participants.

20. First Lecture Series and Outreach Program, 2016
Philippine Carabao Center, National Headquarters and Gene Pool,
Science City of Munoz, Nueva Ecija
The 1st PSAS Lecture Series and Outreach Program were
held last March 29, 2016 at PCC Headquarters in Muñoz,
Nueva Ecija. This year’s theme is on Increasing
productivity through effective parasite control with 2016
PSAS Honoree Professor Salcedo L. Eduardo. The lecture
series aimed at empowering farmers and other livestock
stakeholders in enhancing their production efficiency
through sound and effective parasite control programs in
their herd.
Dr Arnel Del Barrio, PCC Executive Director, delivered his
welcome remarks with emphasis on the significant
collaboration of various institutions in delivering science
to different communities. This can assist and guide the
farmers towards better productivity. There were two
invited speakers in the morning session to discuss
parasite control measures in the herd. The first speaker,
Dr. Virginia M. Venturina of the College of Veterinary
Science and Medicine, focused on the important
parasites in herd health management of ruminants.
Meanwhile, the second speaker, Dr Elizabeth Molina
from University of Southern Mindanao discussed the
techniques and updates on parasite control measures.
This year’s lecture series was in in partnership with
Philippine Carabao Center through its PCC Animal
Medical Mission program. It was attended by almost 100
participants comprising of students, farmers, technical
personnel, faculty and various livestock stakeholders. The
afternoon session included the outreach and medical
mission program in nearby communities. Several teams
were dispatched to villages for free deworming, vitamin
supplementation and rabies vaccination of different
animals. (KRBGicana)

National Scientific Seminar and Annual Convention
(NSSAC)
We have chosen the Heritage Hotel Manila in Pasay City
as our venue for the 53rd PSAS-SSAC on October 20-21,
2016. This is a sort of a homecoming for the PSAS as
Heritage Hotel has been a perennial venue for the
society’s conventions during the 1990s and early 2000s.
This year’s theme is aptly titled “Opportunities and
Challenges for the Philippine Animal Industry in a
Borderless ASEAN”, in anticipation of the ASEAN
economic integration.
All these accomplishments and planned activities are
testimonies that the society and its participating
members are indeed very much alive and
enthusiastic! Let’s continue to be so as there’s still
much work to do.
My heartfelt thanks to the PSAS GC, all active
members, and most of all to the God Almighty for
making these noble undertakings possible.

24. President’s Nook: A Message from the PSAS President
24
My warmest greetings to
all avid readers of PSAS
Dispatch!
First, allow me to thank
Dr. Jean Bulatao for taking
over the reins of our
official newsletter as its
new Editor-in-Chief. My
hats off also to Dr. Leila Flores who held the position
for several years (She is now the Editor-in-Chief of
PJVAS, our scientific journal).
Let me share with you some of the exciting things that
happened since our last General Assembly in Puerto
Princesa. Indeed, the year 2016 has a lot instore for
us.
A geographic mix of PSAS-GC for 2015-2016
I am glad that the current officials and members of
the PSAS Governing Council (GC) are quite a good
representation of expertise and leadership from
across the country. This was made possible by the
election of Dr. Luzviminda Simborio (Vice Chancellor
for Research of the Central Mindanao University) and
Dr. Adrian Ybañez (Senior Lecturer of the University of
the Philippines Cebu) as Vice President and GC
member, respectively. Moreover, the General
Assembly approved the automatic GC seats for the
Presidents of the PSAS Local Chapters in Mindanao,
Visayas, Cagayan Valley, Ilocos, and Bicol. They joined
yours truly and nine others from the various academic
and livestock research institutions in Southern and
Central Luzon to plan and oversee the PSAS affairs and
activities for 2016. So far, we have been busy “cooking
and serving” our members, animal industry partners,
and other stakeholders.
Writeshops, Lecture Series, and Outreach Programs
We have continued the conduct of writeshops to
improve the skills of our budding researchers in
publishing articles in refereed scientific journals. So
far, three writeshops hosted by Isabela State
University (Echague, Isabela), Sultan Kudarat State
University (Tacurong, Sultan Kudarat), and Visayas
State University (Baybay City, Leyte) have been
facilitated successfully by a team led by Dr. Leila Flores
(PJVAS Editor-in-Chief) and Dr. Jezie Acorda
(immediate past President of PSAS). These writeshops
have benefited some 63 participants, 33 of which are
PSAS members.
With Dr. Karlo Gicana at the helm of the Lecture
Series, we have selected Dr. Salcedo Eduardo,
professor emeritus and eminent parasitologist from
CVM-UPLB, as this year’s honoree. Guided by this
year’s theme “Increasing productivity through
effective parasite control”, the first leg of the Lecture
Series was hosted by the Philippine Carabao Center
(PCC), Science City of Muñoz, Nueva Ecija while the
next will be hosted by Mariano Marcos State
University (MMSU) in Batac, Ilocos Norte sometime
this June. Likewise, outreach programs that involves
vaccination, vitamin administration, and deworming
of livestock and small animals usually accompany each
leg of the lecture series, with the first one held at the
Brgy. Licaong, Science City of Muñoz, Nueva Ecija.
New Memberships
Following the series of activities that started in
January 2016, a total of 26 new members (25 regular
and one life) has been registered to the society. We
expect to have more in the next few months leading
to the annual national convention in October.
Reinvigorating the Local Chapters
The PSAS-GC is continuously engaging with the local
chapters to spearhead meaningful activities this year.
Three have committed to conduct their respective
Scientific Conventions in June (for PSAS-Mindanao
Chapter), July (for PSAS-Visayas Chapter), and August
(for PSAS-Cagayan Valley Chapter). The PSAS-Ilocos
Chapter, as mentioned earlier, has initially indicated
their interest to host the second leg of the lecture
series at MMSU. We are also endeavouring to
reactivate the PSAS Bicol Chapter.
