dc.description.abstractThe thesis evaluates the productive and reproductive performance of a government-owned dairy farm in Baguio City, managed by the Department of Agriculture, Regional Field Office - Cordillera Administrative Region (DA RFO - CAR). The study analyzes retrospective data from 2020 to 2025, focusing on 25 Holstein Friesian cows bred with Girolando semen. It aims to establish a baseline for dairy farming in the region by examining key indices such as milk yield (MY), lactation length (LL), average daily milk yield (AMY), calving interval (CI), calf birth weight, and calf sex ratios across three lactations. Through qualitative discussions with farm staff, the research also investigates operational challenges like feed availability, labor management, and equipment issues. By developing a systematic database for improved record-keeping, the study identifies strengths (e.g., peak performance in Lactation 2) and weaknesses (e.g., low milk yield and male bias in Lactation 3). It proposes strategies to enhance performance and productivity. Recommendations include optimizing feed quality, standardizing lactation lengths, using high-quality sexed semen, applying lean management principles, and improving equipment maintenance to support the Philippines' Dairy Industry Roadmap goals of increasing local milk production.
