Dear Director Ramos,

Greetings!
We are communicating with you to express our intent to be part of the Agricultural Training
Institute's (ATI) project entitled: “Swine AI sa Barangay”.

The 5000 ㎡ lot area_is situated in ABGIC, Sitio Crossing Kanding,Barangay Camingawan, kabankalan

City,Negros Occidental.Hence,we have learned that ATI has the program for the Establishment of an

Artificial Insemination Facility for a community that could serve at least 2,000 sows. Given its challenges

and opportunities for growth and development, we are interested to apply as a cooperator for “Swine AI sa

Barangay”, and showcasing our best practices.

Hoping for your favorable response to our request.

PROJECT PROPOSAL

Project Name: SWINE ARTIFICIAL.INSEMINATION SA BARANGAY PROJECT

Proponent
KCAFC Association
Project Cost: Php 3,947,000
Propased Fund Souree: Department of Agriculture-National Livestock Program through

ATl-International Training Center on Pig Husbandry

 1 RATIONALE

The Kabankalan City Agricultural and Fishery Council Incorporated is a duly registered

farmers' association under the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) with registration

number CN201435023. It is composed of 108 accredited farmers' associations. The KCAFC has

been very active in assisting and facilitating various projects and programs for the food security

program of the City of Kabankalan.

Hog production in the City of Kabankalan is a prolific and booming industry.When the ASF hit the

entire country, the City remained invincible and retained its production supply of hog products. Major

products have been brought and traded to Metro Manila and other neighboring Cities. This is indeed a

very promising livelihood option for many hog producers.

However,there still needs to be done. The City should be able to sustain the demand for hog products not just

for the local consumers. So, sustainability now should be addressed.That is increasing its local production supply to

meet the growing demand.

One way forward to address this is the “Swine Artificial Insemination sa Barangay Project".This will

guarantee quality and upgraded breeds of hogs that can counter the recent emerging problems. Also, this

can help the swine repopulation program of the Department of Agriculture to help combat the ASF problem

in the hog industry.

The realization of the project is deemed indispensable for faster recovery of the hog industry not

just in Kabankalan but in the entire province of Negros Occidental. In doing so, making the City of

Kabankalan achieved its aspirations as one of the primer Cities in Agricultural development.

11. OBJECTIVES

In general, the project aims to establish a Swine Artificial Insemination sa Barangay in ABGIC,Sitio

Crossing kanding, Barangay Camingawan, Kabankalan City to be a sustainable source of processed

semen from the quality and genctically superior boars that will be sold at a competitive price to ensure the

financial viability of the intervention

It further aims to:

1. Produce and promote quality and genetically superior processed semen in the
market,
2. Utilize the project for training extension, and learning of farmers,students,and
interested individuals;
3. Increase local swine inventory and pork supply;
4. Help hasten the calibrated repopulation and expansion of production;
5. Adopt modern facilities with climate-controlled systems and biosecurity;
6. Support DA and other government agencies' swine-based livelihood programs by
producing adequate and quality meat to supply these program's needs;and
7. Provide an additional source of food and income to the farmers.
III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project will be based on the Artificial Insemination sa Barangay concept.The LGU-Kabankalan

Through the KCAFC Association, as the overall implementing entity, will establish a swine artificial

insemination farm. The project will have complete and modern facilities with a climate-controlled system

and biosecurity as required for a Swine Artificial Insemination Farm such as breeder animals, initial feed

supplies, ai laboratory and farm equipment,and establishment of a new housing/repair of existing housing.

The proponent will provide the land area for the project that will be located at Crossing Kanding-

CPSU,Barangay Camingawan,Kabankalan City,Negros Occidental. It will also be in charge of the

management and operationalization of the project by assigning personnel and staff to manage and operate

it and provide farm supplies and facilities that could not be covered by the funding. The proponent, with the

approval of DA, will be direct beneficiaries of the production of the project as the proponent's social

responsibility and ensure the attainment of its goals.

The farm will start operating the project and produce boar semen that would be made available to

farmers. Thirty percent (30%) of the semen produced will be provided for free to the identified direct

beneficiary community, institution, or FCA in the first 3 years or until the DA investment cost is fully repaid

in the value of animals/ products provided as the livelihood.The
