[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Jindo-gun, Jeollanam-do recently announced on the 29th that it conducted training for livestock farmers in preparation for the implementation of the manure compost maturity system.

Starting from March 25, the Act on the Management and Use of Livestock Excreta will be enforced to promote sustainable eco-friendly livestock farming by improving manure quality. Training was provided on livestock farmers' preparation, manure composting technology, and visual inspection methods for manure compost maturity.

The main changes include expanding the scope of mandatory inspections from liquid manure maturity to compost, with inspection cycles set at once a year for reported-scale livestock farms and twice a year for permitted-scale livestock farms. Inspection results and management ledgers must be kept for three years.

In particular, a fine of up to 2 million KRW may be imposed for violating the maturity standards, and a fine of up to 1 million KRW may be imposed for failure to prepare or keep the compost and liquid manure management ledger. Therefore, thorough compliance with the manure compost maturity inspection standards is strongly urged.

A representative from the Jindo Dog Livestock Division of Jindo-gun said, “We will do our best to minimize confusion caused by the changing system by guiding farms and promoting awareness through banners to ensure prior understanding by farmers.”
