[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Jindo-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 17th that it will form and operate a heatwave response team to prevent heatwave damage in the livestock sector.

As the heatwave is expected to last more than 20 days compared to previous years, the plan is to operate a situation room to prevent damage to livestock farms and enable rapid response.

The response team, consisting of about 20 members, will establish a cooperative system with livestock-related organizations to promptly investigate damage and carry out emergency restoration.

In addition, a total of over 100 million won will be invested to complete heatwave preparedness projects by the end of June, including support for purchasing high-temperature stress relief medicines, facilities and equipment to prevent heatwave damage, and livestock disaster insurance subscription support projects.

A Jindo Dog Livestock Division official from Jindo-gun said, “We will support administrative efforts to minimize heatwave damage in the livestock sector through thorough prior preparation and continuous heatwave prevention publicity.”

Meanwhile, Jindo-gun raises 229,159 heads of livestock including Korean cattle, goats, and ducks across 116 livestock farms.
