In September 16 to 18, 2009, the province of Albay hosted the 2nd National Livestock Summit held at the Albay Astrodome, Legaspi, Albay.
According to Dr. Jose Losa, Jr., provincial veterinarian, the three-day summit was participated by around 700 to 1000 livestock raisers from different provinces all over the country. It features various discussions on livestock which include domestic animals such as cattle, horses, sheep, hogs, and goats that were raised for home use or for profit.
The summit is of free admission and the organizers also provided free meals (except for breakfast) for the participants. However, they have shouldered their transportations and hotel accommodation expenses.
Aside from the provincial government of Albay led by their Governor Joey Sarte Salceda, the summit was supported by other sponsors such as the Department of Agriculture, Livestock Development Council, Bureau of Animal Industry, National Meat Inspection Commission, National Dairy Authority, and the National Carabao Center.
