[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-ho] The number of 'Clean Livestock Farms' in Sangju City has increased to 51.

On the 25th, Sangju City presented plaques to six farms designated as 'Clean Livestock Farms' in the second half of last year. The farms that received the 'Clean Livestock Farm' plaques on this day include Gwangmyeong Farm in Ian-myeon, Hwanggeum Livestock in Jungdong-myeon, Dongchang Ranch in Gongseong-myeon, Hyogok Livestock, Milal Farm in Hwadong-myeon, and Dayun Farm in Moseo-myeon.

The creation of clean livestock farms is one of the government's 100 major national tasks. It refers to livestock farms that operate environmentally friendly livestock facilities by managing livestock manure, preserving the environment, harmonizing with the landscape, and contributing to natural circulation through proper management and utilization of manure and odors.

Clean Livestock Farms are selected by conducting written and on-site evaluations of 14 items related to overall livestock environment management for farms wishing to be designated. Farms scoring 70 points or higher out of 100 are selected. The designation period is five years.

These farms are given priority in various government-supported livestock subsidy projects, considering their contribution to sustainable livestock industry development and public health improvement.

Lee Hyun-gyun, head of the Livestock Division, said, "Designating clean livestock farms helps prevent livestock infectious diseases and reduces odors, thereby building trust in the livestock industry," and added, "We ask for active participation in creating clean livestock farms to establish a foundation for sustainable livestock farming."
