Heesung Industry Co., Ltd. Signs Technology Transfer Agreement for Patented Livestock Manure Granulated Compost Technology

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Nosik] HS Group Heesung Industry Co., Ltd. (CEO Yoo Taeho) announced on the 11th that it held a technology transfer contract ceremony on the 10th with Jeonbuk Agricultural Research and Extension Services (Director Park Kyungsook) for two patents on livestock manure pelletized compost.

Jeonbuk Agricultural Research and Extension Services has been continuously promoting livestock circular agriculture research since 2016 to address the issue of excessive livestock manure production in the province.

As a result, last year, they succeeded in improving and pelletizing the nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium components of existing livestock manure compost (powder form) to be tailored for rice cultivation, and filed a patent for it.

The Jeonbuk Agricultural Research and Extension Services patent technologies being transferred this time are two: ▲ rice-tailored pelletized compost made by mixing livestock manure compost and black soldier fly larvae powder and its manufacturing method ▲ rice-tailored pelletized compost made by mixing livestock manure compost and nitrogen supplement and its manufacturing method. These technologies supplement fertilizer components to make livestock manure compost suitable for rice growth.

When applied only once 20 days before rice transplanting, the yield was comparable to that of rice using chemical fertilizers, and the quality of the rice was improved, making it convenient to use.

This technology transfer is the second following the previous transfer to Baraebong Fertilizer Farming Association Corporation (Namwon). Regionally, with the patent technology being transferred to Namwon and Gimje, it is expected to promote a virtuous cycle of livestock manure occurrence, production, and consumption within the province through balanced regional consumption and increased convenience of livestock manure compost.

CEO Yoo Taeho said, “We will do our best to cooperate with the Agricultural Research and Extension Services to enable safe and convenient use of livestock manure compost, a nutrient resource, in farming fields.”
