[Yeonggwang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jeonseong] Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim Junsung) announced on the 21st that on the 20th, they conducted expert comprehensive consulting for Hanwoo farmers on breeding, feeding, diseases, forage, and environmental fields in collaboration with the Rural Development Administration's National Institute of Animal Science (hereinafter referred to as the Animal Science Institute).

The customized comprehensive consulting is being promoted to enhance the technical competitiveness of livestock farmers who are facing difficulties due to increased imports of livestock products, rising feed costs, frequent outbreaks of malignant livestock infectious diseases such as foot-and-mouth disease and AI, and the decline in livestock product prices caused by supply-demand imbalances.

The consulting was conducted by forming teams of top experts in each field through a preliminary technical demand survey.

Lee Jaeseok, a farmer from Myoryang-myeon who attended the consulting, said, "Recently, we have been struggling due to rising feed costs, but receiving consulting on technical improvements such as management structure improvement, feeding, and disease control was very helpful."

An official from the Agricultural Technology Center said, "For farmers who need on-site technical support, additional consulting will be conducted to resolve urgent difficulties."
