The study was conducted among 15 National dairy Authority (NDA)-assisted dairy farmers in Cavite, one of the major dairy farming provinces in Luzon from November 2003 to February 2004. The study was conducted to determine the management practices ofNIDA-assisted dairy farmers in Cavite. The average age of the dairy farmers was 46 years and the majority have been engaged in dairy farming for 313 average of 14 yews. The farmers generated their income from the sales of dairy milk and dairy cream either from cattle antor caraboolbuffalo. The average farm the of the dairy farmers was 243 hectares. Most of the farmers were also engaged in crop farming while the others were engaged in swine production_ Majority of the farmers maintained both cattle and carahaothuffalo and the average number of cattle per farmer was three. The breeds of cattle kept by the farmers were either Holstein Freisian and Sahiwal. The farmers owned two to nine heads of carabao/buffalo which were either Bulgarian. Murrab. or our own. Philippine carabao (native). The cattle and/or carabaathuffaloes were either sourced from or part of the dispersal program of the National Dairy Authority (NDA) or the Philippine Carabao Center (PCC). The dairy farmers have been memberi recipients of NDA programs since 1985 to 2000. Majority acquired their dairy animals in the year 204X). Forms of assistance.Included production technology, -veterinary science.s, feed supplementation and dispersal of stocks The farmers had a total monthly volume of milk production amounting to 5,383 liters. This constituted 4,753 liters of dairy milk and 630 liters of dairy cream per month. The average total returns from dairy production amounted to P23,373 per month while the average total tx-Itst from dairy famine amounted to P12,085. The farmers generated an average net returns amounting to P11,288 from dairy farming. Income above cash cost amounted to P14,288 while income above non cash cost amounted to P20,373 per fanner, on the average. Most of the farmers reported that the National Dairy Authority had long stopped extending marketing assistance. Another problem cited was the old age of their stocks which resulted to low productivity and diseases. It is recommended that farmers should meet with the officials of the NDA in order to properly voice out their problems regarding marketing and upgrade of stocks. They should also seek the assistance of the Municipal Agricultural Officerassigned in the municipality to help them refresh their association with NDA.
