SAN AGUSTIN:

Rising High on the ‘Nuang’

San Agustin, Isabela is home to hundreds of crossbred

buffalos. This publication is an attempt to document the

experience of the town in relation to Carabao Development

Program (particularly crossbreeding program) with the hope

that it can serve as a source of learning and inspiration for

farming communities, local government units and other

development organizations, both public and private.

Appreciating the Carabao

This book, compiled and written for easy reading by Dr.

Anselmo S. Roque, is meant to provide basic information about

this animal and current developments for its improvement

designed to situate it in a more strategic place in the people’s

and nation’s consciousness.


Books

Businessing the Carabao

This book, written by Dr. Anselmo Roque, is a compilation

of the successes of numerous rural farming families whose

lives improved because of their “businessized” carabaos. It

is a presentation of how a number of people have become

successful entrepreneurs with the hope that others can see the

light and follow it for their own sake, or for the benefit of thier

families, and communities.

Released during the PCC’s 18th founding anniversary, the

book is a testament to the achievement of one of the important

goals of the Carabao Development Program-- the development

of carabao-based industries in the country.

Buffalo and Cattle

“Cattle and Buffalo” published in 2009 by Mr. Hsieh Chyi-

G>#'-M!!

The author has the extraordinary ability to give life to his

with the buffalo and cattle, two animals that have important

contributions to the lives of millions of Asian rural families in

varying degrees in the past, in present and in future times.

Changing Lives...Beyond the Draft Carabao

Dr. Sosimo Ma. Pablico, one of the country’s most prolific agricultural journalists, went

around the countryside to carefully document the experiences of dairy buffalo farmers to

serve not only as a reference for research institutions, livestock practitioners, policymakers

and other interested groups, but also an inspiration to fellow farmers who count on the

carabao as one of their prized possessions.

The concept of putting together parts of this book came about when the farmers’

cooperatives started to make known their successes in buffalo-based dairy enterprises. They

attributed their achievement mainly to having gained access to dairy-type buffaloes, hard

work, mutual support from family members and their respective cooperatives, and technical

assistance from concerned public and private institutions.


Recipe Books

Cooking with Carabao’s Milk

It is a cookbook which compiles original recipes from the

family of Danilo V. Fausto, owner of a private dairy buffalo-

based outfit. It is authored by his daughter, Raquel Fausto.

the University of Santo Tomas, was also showcased in this

cookbook.

Mga Produkto Mula sa Gatas ng
