THE Department of Agriculture (DA), through its Kabuhaan at Kaunlaran para sa Kababayang Katutubo (4K), conducted a two-day livelihood training on free-range chicken production in Midsalip, Zamboanga del Sur.
Some 30 farmers from Duelic village, Midsalip attended the livelihood training held from March 8 to 9.
May Harap of the DA-Mahayag Livestock and Breeding Center, who served as the resource speaker, imparted to the participants the different components of Free-Range Native Chicken Production and Management.
Juvy Guatno, DA-4K focal person, said the two-day training provided the farmers the proper knowledge and skills needed to raise chicken for meat, and egg production.
