Alaminos Goat Farm: “There’s no show like the AgriLink”
Agrilink is set to feature good farm practices and small ruminants in its show this October 7 to 9, 2010 in the World Trade Center in Manila. This year’s theme of the Agrilink could not have been more in sync with Alaminos Goat Farm’s (AGF) advocacy of promoting their own good husbandry practices in dairy goat farming.
From the time AGF started its goat operations in 2005, AGF has always believed in the importance of both GOOD NUTRITION and GOOD GENETICS towards successful goat dairying. Good farm practices are necessary in nurturing healthy small ruminants such as the goats in Alaminos Goat Farm.
As a Magsasaka Siyentista of the Philippine Council for Agriculture, Forestry and Natural Resources Research and Development (PCARRD), AGF owner Art Almeda is actively involved in a couple of initiatives driven towards the development of goat dairying in the Philippines such as the small farm research giving focus to nutrition in the care of its Saanen Dairy Goats and the on-going Science and Technology Based Farm (STBF) Milk Recording Project which began in September 2009. The AgriLink is a good venue to feature what AGF has learned and accomplished through these initiatives.
Art Almeda says that AgriLink is not only about presenting the best goats in the industry. It is also about teaching the visitors the best way to produce these good quality goats. He says, “In our experience, there is no show like the AgriLink. This is always our biggest and most successful event. Seeing the number of agriculture enthusiasts who visit the show every year, AGF will be sharing its experiences to those interested in this exciting and profitable business.”
AGF consultant Rene Almeda adds, “The Agrilink Show is the most cost effective trade show that AGF has joined in the past three years in creating awareness for the goats and value added products produced by AGF. We are looking forward to October especially because we were given the opportunity to host a goat raising seminar this year.“
In its 4th year participating in the Agrilink, AGF plans to showcase the outcome of their good farm practices through its Saanen Dairy Goats, Mitra Line, Alaminos Mitra Saanen Line to Boer Bucks to its Quality Products such as Goats meat, Milk Star Goats Milk, Goats Cheese and the famous Goat’s Milk Ice Cream. Aside from this AGF will also be hosting a seminar on October 7 from 3:30 to 5:30 entitled “Kambing SAGOaT sa Kahirapan, the Milk Star Experience.”

It’s Showtime at the AgriLink Show 2010
Every year preparing for the AgriLink Show has always been a challenge for Alaminos Goat Farm (AGF). For the past three years, the goats AGF brings to the show are well anticipated by industry players as these are the best goats which AGF has produced for the year.
This year AGF is bringing their Top of the Line Boer Bucks to the Agri Link Show. Leading the Show team are two outstanding Full Blood Boer Bucks, AGF 002 and AGF 300. They will be available For Sale at Php 50,000 pesos each. The Top Boer Doelings are up for Sale at Php 35,000 pesos.
In addition to the display of goats, AGF is also sponsoring a free seminar in the AgriLink to promote dairy goat raising in the Philippines on October 7, 2010 from 3:30 PM to 5:30 PM. The seminar will integrate three important topics straight from four experts. AGF consultant Rene Almeda will kick off the seminar followed by key note speakers PCARRD Director of the Livestorck Research Division Dr Edwin Villar, Dr Emilio Cruz, Central Luzon State University, Small Ruminant Center, Director and all the way from Isabela State University, Dr. Jonathan Nayga.
The success story of Alaminos Milk Star brand of fresh goat’s milk will be integrated to the seminar program to focus on the importance of science and technology in goat dairying. Alaminos Goat Farm, being a Science Technology Based Farm, is part of the PCARRD family . The transfer of doable technology like the AGF Salad Garden in goat dairying is the goal of the presentation. The Line Breeding program of our famous Mitra Line goats will also be discussed.
Dr. Edwin Villar, will then guide the participants about the developmental effort of PCARRD Upscaling RED project in goats. Dr. Emilio Cruz of CLSU will share his practical experiences in small ruminant feeding. His extensive experience in raising goats will show goat raisers the important role nutrition plays in successful goat raising. Meanwhile Dr. Jonathan Nayga will present a PCARRD assisted Science Technology based Farm goat research project about Artificial Insemination in semen collection and preservation using powder extender
Join us for the seminar on October 7 at the AgriLink Show from 3:30 to 5:30 pm at the World Trade Center, Manila. The seminar targets developmental officers of NGOs, LGUs, DA officials and goat enthusiasts as participants. Help us create a strong advocacy for goat development with the PCARRD Upscaling Rural Enterprise Development (RED) project in goats as center piece.
