Tarlac Agricultural University (TAU) President Dr. Silverio Ramon DC. Salunson welcomed farmer-participants from various municipalities of Tarlac and conveyed his strong message of support during the opening of the Training on ItikPINAS: Mallard Duck Production and Enterprise Development for Smallholder Farmers held on March 24โ€“25, 2026 at the TAU- Farmersโ€™ Training Center. Emphasizing the importance of empowering grassroots communities, he underscored the Universityโ€™s commitment to advancing sustainable agriculture through capacity-building initiatives that directly benefit local farmers.

The training, spearheaded by the Department of Extension and Training under the guidance of their Director; Dr. Agnes C. Perey, addressed the pressing challenges faced by smallholder duck raisers, including low productivity and limited technical knowledge. By introducing ItikPINAS, a genetically improved Philippine Mallard duck known for its higher egg production and efficiency, the program equipped participants with essential knowledge on housing systems, proper management practices, feeding, health and nutrition, biosecurity, and egg handling, alongside discussions on the current status of the duck industry and basic enterprise analysis.ย 

Complemented by a field visit to actual ItikPINAS farms situated in Tarlac City, Tarlac, and Zaragoza, Nueva Ecija, the training provides hands-on learning opportunities that strengthen participantsโ€™ confidence in adopting the technology.ย 

The initiative ultimately reinforced TAUโ€™s role in translating research into community impact enhancing farmersโ€™ productivity, increasing income potential, and fostering sustainable, community-based duck enterprises across Tarlac.

In a message of support, University President Dr. Silverio Ramon DC. Salunson commended the CVM community on their active involvement in the event:ย 

โ€œThe success of this celebration reflects not only your passion for veterinary medicine but also your commitment to excellence, service, and unity. May this week continue to inspire you to become compassionate and competent professionals who will shape the future of animal health and welfare.โ€
