Native animals are preferred by consumers as they have adapted to the natural climate and are more resistant to disease, resilient to weather extremes, and are able to reproduce with minimal human intervention.
With this in mind, DOST-PCAARRD through its Livestock Research Division has been implementing R&D projects focused on the development of breeding true-to-type of native chicken, duck, and pig. The goal is to produce native animals sustainably with the desired traits, resulting in predictable production performance and consistent product quality.
As of today, the native animals purified include 6 native chicken pure lines (Darag, ZamPen, Caraga Black, Boholano, Bolinao, and Paraoakan) 1 ItikPINAS commercial line (IP Kayumanggi), 2 ItikPINAS pure lines (IP-Itim and IP-Khaki), and 8 native pigs (Yookah, Benguet, Q-Black, Sinirangan, Markaduke, ISUbela, Central Luzon, and Bagu).
