Farmers' group to hold goat milk processing seminar

A farmers' organization is hosting a two-day seminar in Talisay City to improve knowledge on how to best produce goat's milk, which is found to have become in demand these days.

"This is in response to the increasing demand of goat's milk from the nutritious-conscious individuals, and manufacturers of cosmetic products," read the press statement of Cebu Integrated Farmers Multi-Purpose Cooperative.

The two-day seminar, scheduled on March 10 and 11 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the People's Hall of the Talisay City Hall, will tackle goat management, production and milk processing.

There will be a registration fee of P1,000 inclusive of lunch for the two-day event, snacks and handouts.

Experts like Dr. Cayetano Romares and Prof. Milagrina Romares will teach participants how to raise dairy goats and develop facilities for processing goat's milk on a commercial scale.

CIFMPC is the same organization tasked by former congressman Jose Gullas to manage his goat-raising project in Naga town. This project allows its members to breed Anglonovian and Bauer goats, the hybrid types.
