Gochang-gun, All-Out Effort to Prevent Heatwave Damage in Livestock Farms

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jaegil] Jeonbuk Gochang-gun announced on the 25th that it is actively preparing livestock heatwave damage prevention measures and implementing various support measures ahead of the full-scale summer heatwave.

The county is investing 873.55 million KRW in five projects considering the risk of death due to growth retardation and livestock diseases caused by heat stress.

The heatwave countermeasure projects include ▲ livestock barn fire safety system ▲ improvement of livestock rearing environment against heatwave ▲ environmental control devices ▲ stress relievers ▲ livestock disaster insurance.

In addition, heatwave countermeasure machinery and equipment (livestock barn fire safety system, generator, mist sprayer, ventilator, cooling pad, cooling system cooling facilities, etc.) were provided to 46 farms in the area.

Furthermore, 3,320 kg of medicines to enhance livestock immunity and relieve stress were supplied to 38 farms to minimize damage caused by disasters such as heatwaves.

Moreover, the county supports the subscription fees for livestock disaster insurance that can compensate for damage in case of livestock death due to heatwaves.

A livestock department official from Gochang-gun said, “We will strive to minimize damage to livestock farms through cooperation with related organizations such as the Livestock Cooperative and prompt response,” and added, “Livestock farmers should also thoroughly manage livestock for heatwave prevention, including water supply, air circulation, feed intake, and supply of vitamin C and electrolytes.”
