Pilmico Animal Nutrition Corp. (Pilmico) held its annual “Agripost Conference” to celebrate and recognize the top-performing local retailers in various parts of the country. The event also served as an opportunity to provide product and industry updates to its partners. The event has been taking place since November 2023.
Instead of holding a celebration event in Carmen, Davao del Norte, Pilmico and its partner distributors in the area, namely Panabo Bluz and Chemar Marketing, redirected their resources to ”Padayon Gihapon Ta, Partner” (Let’s Keep Going, Partner). The initiative aims to assist the duck raisers affected by the recent flooding in Mindanao, whose livestock suffered in early February this year.
Jefferson Abian, Pilmico assistant vice president for feeds sales, addressed the community of duck raisers in Carmen, Davao del Norte.
Pilmico and the distributors collaborated with the local government unit, agricultural office and the provincial veterinary office of Barangay Anibongan, Carmen, Davao del Norte, to organize a two-day recovery assistance program from February 26 to 27, 2024.
They held a veterinary mission for livestock raisers and distributed 36 bags of “Avemax” duck feeds on the first day. About 175 beneficiaries received “Vet Kits,” including animal nutrition supplements, to help in their recovery.
Abian stressed the importance of perseverance in times of crisis.
“Natural calamities can be challenging, but we must learn to move forward as a community. At Pilmico, we are committed to being your ‘Partner for Growth,’ especially when you need it most. We are always ready to provide support and assistance to ensure the growth and development of the livestock industry,” Abian said.
Although the initiative was far from the usual festivities of Pilmico’s Agripost Conferences, it brought a different form of joy by providing assistance to the duck raisers of the Municipality of Carmen who were most in need of help.
