This research aimed to improve dairy production and increase the income of dairy farmers using locally available feed resources. Small-scale milk producers rely heavily on available feed resources in the locality which are either indigenous in the area or introduced species for feed and nutrition of their dairy cattle and buffalos. Their milk output depends mainly on seasonal fluctuations in the quality and quantity of natural forage. Crop residues such as corn stover and rice straw which are high in fiber but low in nutrients serve as a feed supplement and filler to the daily diets of dairy cattle and buffalos. Cagayan Valley is an ear of top corn and rice-producing region. The potential of crop residues as feed supplements or raw materials of dairy cattle/buffalo feed mix is great. But dairy farmers still face the scarcity problem of quality feed resources for dairy animals especially during the dry season. The supply of forage is very low during the dry spell. Inadequate feed mix and low nutritive value of feed mix result in low or no milk production. Producing green corn and ensiling it to produce green corn silage preserves and prolong the storage life of forages. In this way, a stable supply of feed mix for dairy animals is assured year-round. Type of Paper: Empirical. Keywords: adoption and commercialization, dairy industry, financial viability, green-corn silage production, indigenous grasses, smallholder farmers.

Abstract Seven Market Administrators' laboratories, with two years of experience in collaborative testing of dairy products, analyzed 10 samples of milk in quadruplicate. Eight of the samples were fresh, raw milk taken from farm bulk tanks and represented four breeds of dairy cattle; two samples were pasteurized skim milk. All samples were preserved with HgCl2. The protein content was measured by the Udy dye binding procedure. Analysis of variance showed a significant betweenlaboratory variation. The within-laboratory variation was slight. Laboratory means were between 98.56 and 101.53% of the overall mean for each sample. Between-laboratory coefficients of variation were 0.52—1.13%. Thus the dye binding method is highly reproducible within laboratories; between-laboratory reproducibility is acceptable
