Partnership to pioneer probiotic-based innovations for carabao health, dairy production, and eco-friendly agriculture.
San Fernando City, Philippines, 20th Sep 2025 – In a landmark move to transform livestock and agricultural sustainability in the Philippines, AA Biotek Enterprises OPC and the Philippine Carabao Center (PCC) at Central Luzon State University (CLSU) formally signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) at the PCC at CLSU, Science City of Munoz Nueva Ecija. The signing ceremony was led by Dr. Ericson N. Dela Cruz, Center Director of PCC at CLSU, and Ronaldo B. Planilla, Product Manager of AA Biotek.
This groundbreaking partnership unites the scientific expertise of PCC, the country’s premier institution for carabao research and development, with AA Biotek’s pioneering biotechnology portfolio of probiotics, biofertilizers, and bioremediation products.
The agreement aims to advance livestock health, dairy productivity, and eco-friendly farming practices—benefiting smallholder farmers and agribusinesses nationwide.
A Timely Alliance for Farmers and Food Security
With the livestock and dairy sector under pressure from climate change, rising feed costs, and antibiotic resistance, the PCC–AA Biotek alliance offers science-driven, sustainable solutions. Through joint research, technology transfer, and field applications, the collaboration will:
- Improve Animal Health & Dairy Production – Probiotic formulations for carabao gut health and milk yield enhancement.
- Reduce Antibiotic Dependency – Natural microbial alternatives to promote resilience against infections.
- Enhance Feed Efficiency – Lower input costs while increasing farm profitability.
- Support Eco-Friendly Practices – Waste-to-resource solutions for manure management and bioremediation.
- Train and Empower Farmers – Knowledge-sharing programs at CLSU and PCC demonstration sites.
Strategic Remarks from Leadership
Dr. Ericson N. Dela Cruz, Director of PCC at CLSU, emphasized:
“This MOA marks a bold step in aligning biotechnology with livestock development. By harnessing probiotics and natural solutions, we aim to uplift carabao farmers, strengthen dairy productivity, and reduce our dependence on costly synthetic inputs. Together with AA Biotek, we are shaping a healthier, more resilient livestock sector.”
Ronaldo B. Planilla, Product Manager of AA Biotek, added:
“Our mission at AA Biotek has always been clear: to provide farmers with sustainable, science-based tools that enhance productivity while protecting the environment. Partnering with PCC at CLSU gives us the opportunity to scale these innovations where they matter most—on the farms that feed our people. This is not just a collaboration; it’s a legacy for future generations.”
Implications for National Development
The partnership reinforces the Philippines’ vision of food security, rural empowerment, and environmental stewardship. By integrating microbial biotechnology into livestock and crop systems, the MOA positions Nueva Ecija as a national hub for applied biotech research—supporting the dairy industry and advancing the country’s competitiveness in Southeast Asia.
This initiative also contributes directly to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Zero Hunger (SDG 2), Good Health and Well-Being (SDG 3), Responsible Consumption and Production (SDG 12), and Climate Action (SDG 13).
