[Title] => ‘Supercow’ production now possible year-round
[Summary] => Soon, "supercows" will be a common site in the country’s cattle landscape.
It is now possible to breed this superior animal, which can produce more than 18,000 liters of milk per lactation, thanks to the biotechnology techniques such as embryo transfer (ET) and vitrification.
Embryo is a fertilized egg while vitrification is a quick, deep-freezing of embryo cryopreservation, which allows long-term embryo storage and transport.

[Title] => It’s Bt corn harvest time
[Summary] => LOS BAÑOS, Laguna – It’s Bt corn harvest season in the countryside.
The first commercial genetically modified (GM) corn have been harvested in Isabela.
And the results were remarkable, as reflected by figures furnished The STAR by the Los Baños-based SEARCA Biotechnology Information Center (BIC).
For instance, Jose Denna, a farmer from Ilagan, harvested 9.5 tons per hectare from the Yieldgard corn (DK 818YG)-Bt corn MON810 of Monsanto, which is significantly higher than his usual yield of only six tons/ha.
