Changing Lives...Beyond the Draft Carabao Dr. Sosimo Ma. Pablico, one of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most prolific agricultural journalists, went around the countryside to carefully document the experiences of dairy buffalo farmers to serve not only as a reference for research institutions, livestock practitioners, policymakers and other interested groups, but also an inspiration to fellow farmers who count on the carabao as one of their prized possessions. The concept of putting together parts of this book came about when the farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cooperatives started to make known their successes in buffalo-based dairy enterprises. They attributed their achievement mainly to having gained access to dairy-type buffaloes, hard work, mutual support from family members and their respective cooperatives, and technical assistance from concerned public and private institutions.
