[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kang Woo-kwon] On the 22nd, the Gimhae Urban Development Corporation in Gimhae-si, Gyeongnam Province announced that it has signed a business support agreement with the Korea Pork Producers Association Gimhae Branch to reduce livestock farm odors, prevent animal infectious diseases, and reduce safety accidents in confined spaces.

This business support agreement was established to alleviate the difficulties caused by the strengthened related laws on manure odors generated from 180,000 pigs raised in pig farms within the Gimhae-si area and the challenges in livestock farming due to animal infectious diseases.

The main contents of the agreement include using large vehicle-mounted fogging disinfectors owned by the livestock manure public treatment plant to conduct regular disinfection in livestock farms and nearby villages, providing emergency disinfection support upon request, and spraying eco-friendly odor-specific removal agents when odors occur to reduce the burden on livestock farms.

Additionally, to reduce livestock farm odors, support for activated microorganisms will be provided, and to prevent suffocation accidents in confined farm spaces, which have been occurring frequently recently, essential safety equipment such as gas concentration meters and positive pressure air respirator masks will be supplied free of charge. Both parties agreed to jointly work to prevent safety accidents and reduce odors in small-scale livestock farms.

Jang Seon-geun, president of Gimhae Urban Development Corporation, stated, "Through continuous efforts every year, we will do our best to create a pleasant environment around livestock farms by eradicating harmful insects and reducing odors, as well as preventing livestock infectious diseases."
