PRODUCTION AND CONSERVATION OF INDIGENOUS DOMESTIC ANIMALS IN THE PHILIPPPINES
Biodiversity in the agricultural ecosystem could aid in longer survival and the preservation of plant and animal equilibrium. Utilization of existing resources to meet the fundamental requirements of humans could be sustainable. The multiplication of native animals in the village community provides a source of income and maintains the species' biodiversity. Intervention with appropriate technology to existing natural resources could protect, encourage diversification, and facilitate the trade of products across species, thereby preserving the ecological balance. Indigenous animals should be thoroughly observed and documented for future dietary references and improved surveillance of new diseases.
