As part of the Negros First livestock and poultry dispersal of Gov. Alfredo Marañon Jr., 715 kabir chicks were distributed to the Negros Occidental provincial government breeding centers in Kabankalan City and in the towns of Hinoba-an and Candoni recently.

Provincial Veterinary Office livestock coordinator, Cathyrine Narez, said yesterday that 40 piglets were also distributed to hog raisers associations in Cadiz City and Toboso town.

Narez said they will also distribute 20 additional piglets to the Sagay Hog Raisers Association today.

Aside from the hogs, PVO has also distributed 10 peking ducks to breeding centers in Kabankalan City Monday, she said.

The poultry and livestock dispersal has provided livelihood projects to sectors like church leaders, youth, farmers, and small cooperatives, she said.

PVO reminded the recipients that the dispersal is not a dole-out program and the recipients have to give back the number of farm animals given to them so they will be given an owner's certificate.*APN
