[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Jangheung-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 19th that it will promote a bedding (sawdust, rice husks) support project to quickly restore livestock farms damaged by the flooding caused by heavy rain from the 5th to the 6th.

Due to the heavy rain, more than 30% of the livestock barns in Gwansan-eup, Daedeok-eup, and Hoejin-myeon were flooded, raising concerns about the outbreak of livestock diseases and epidemics. To promptly replace the bedding in the flooded barns, Jangheung-gun decided to invest a budget of 150 million KRW from the disaster and emergency contingency funds.

This project is being promoted as a collaborative effort with the county and Jangheung Livestock Cooperative sharing the budget. It plans to support approximately 100 heads of cattle with 100 kg of bedding per head for 340 Hanwoo cattle farms that reported barn flooding.

County Governor Jeong Jong-sun said, “We are doing our best to alleviate the difficulties of the affected livestock farmers, and we hope this project will provide some comfort to them. We also hope that the farms, which have fallen into despair due to the heavy rain damage on top of the hardships caused by COVID-19, will return to normal life as soon as possible.”
