Yongin City Distributes 'Patented Microorganisms' for Odor Reduction to Over 700 Livestock Farms

[Asia Economy (Yongin) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Yongin City in Gyeonggi Province will distribute 40 tons of 'patented microorganisms,' which have a special effect on odor reduction, free of charge to about 700 livestock farms in the area.

The patented microorganisms were developed by mixing Pichia Farinosa, a new microorganism isolated from kimchi by Dr. Yoo Jae-hong of the National Institute of Agricultural Sciences, and Bacillus Amyloliquefaciens, isolated from soil.

Yongin City explained that when these microorganisms were applied to pig farms, ammonia gas, hydrogen sulfide, and amine gases, which are the main causes of odors from livestock waste, were reduced by 90%.

A city official said, "The patented microorganisms supplied this year will have a dual effect of enhancing livestock immunity and reducing odors," and urged, "We ask livestock farmers to take great interest and utilize the microorganisms."

Farmers wishing to receive the microorganisms can apply at the Eco-friendly Microorganism Center within the Agricultural Technology Center (031-324-4064).
