Additionally, to improve raw milk quality, he promoted the separated milking of two premium first-grade milk products, "Na100%", which are the first in Korea to use only raw milk with bacterial count 1A grade and somatic cell count grade 1, contributing to supplying the best and most hygienic raw milk to consumers.
