[Asia Economy Reporter La Young-chul] Gangwon Province announced on the 18th that it will implement the "Summer Livestock Quarantine Management Measures" to minimize damage to livestock farms caused by livestock diseases and quarantine facility damage due to summer monsoons, heatwaves, and typhoons until September.

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration's forecast that this summer will have higher temperatures and more rainfall than last year, the province plans to focus on informing livestock farmers about maintenance of livestock facilities such as drainage and ventilation fans, hygiene management, livestock vaccination, and feeding management methods.

They will also operate an animal medical and quarantine support team composed of the Animal Hygiene Testing Laboratory, city and county public veterinarians, and livestock cooperative animal hospitals to provide medical support, stress relievers, immune boosters, and quarantine supplies to livestock farms affected by summer disasters.

In addition, to manage African Swine Fever quarantine, they will promote monsoon season quarantine guidelines to pig farms and conduct quarantine inspections and mass disinfection after heavy rains to prevent additional outbreaks of African Swine Fever.
