[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] The environmentally friendly smart livestock complex project being promoted in Ulju-gun, Ulsan, has been decided to be located at Shinwoo Ranch in Miho-ri, Duseo-myeon. With the selection of the project site where residents and livestock farmers coexist, the development project will be in full swing.

Ulju-gun, Ulsan, held a final report meeting for the comprehensive plan for the smart livestock complex construction at 4 p.m. on the 27th at the county office to review the suitability of the final candidate site.

The final report meeting was held with County Governor Lee Seon-ho, the promotion committee, and related departments attending, and proceeded with explanations, Q&A, and suggestions regarding the selection of the final candidate site for the smart livestock ICT pilot complex, the promotion direction, and future plans.

CM Engineering, which was commissioned for the project, reviewed site conditions, legal considerations, scale, and regional conditions for 10 months from October last year to August this year to derive candidate sites and decided on Shinwoo Ranch, San 121-1, Miho-ri, Duseo-myeon as the final candidate site.

The county plans to create an odorless livestock environment equipped with shared resources for compost and liquid fertilizer facilities and an automatic ventilation system to reduce odors, and to implement a state-of-the-art livestock complex based on data using information and communication technology (ICT) and big data.

The total project cost is planned to be 58.3 billion KRW by 2023, developing a smart livestock ICT pilot complex of about 18 hectares with a scale of 3,600 Korean cattle (Hanwoo) breeding.

At the end of August this year, a residents' briefing session will be held for the final candidate site to provide ample opportunity to collect residents' opinions, and through visits to advanced domestic livestock complexes, positive public opinion will be formed by improving awareness among local residents and livestock farmers.

By March next year, the county plans to complete the application for the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs' smart livestock ICT pilot complex contest, land purchase negotiations, and administrative procedures, and start construction from January 2023. An Ulju-gun official said, “We are promoting the smart livestock complex project to realize a clean and disease-free future advanced livestock industry,” adding, “Livestock farmers and local residents will do their best together to realize an odorless livestock environment, fundamental prevention of livestock diseases, and a future food advanced livestock complex based on ICT and big data.”
