[Yeonggwang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jeonseong] Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 17th that it will invest a total of 5.5 billion KRW in six projects this year to make every effort to improve livestock odor.

The main projects include ▲Livestock Odor Improvement Project (public contest) ▲Activation Project Using Eco Probiotics (public contest) ▲Support for Livestock Odor Reduction Agents ▲Support for Livestock Manure Treatment Equipment ▲Support for Livestock Manure Moisture Regulators ▲Support for Compost Spreading Costs.

In particular, customized livestock manure treatment facilities (equipment) will be provided to pig farms, which account for most odor complaints, to improve poor facility conditions. In addition, livestock probiotics will be supplied monthly to simultaneously improve the intestinal environment of livestock, which is one of the causes of odor generation.

The county will form a regional council for livestock odor improvement centered on the Livestock Cooperative, Livestock Environment Management Institute, producer organizations, participating farms, and local resident representatives, and will carry out activities to comprehensively solve issues related to livestock odor, such as consulting for odor improvement at livestock farms and mediating conflicts between farms and residents.

County Governor Kang Jongman said, “Livestock odor improvement is essential for sustainable livestock farming that coexists with local residents,” and added, “The county will do its best to support the creation of a pleasant livestock environment free of odor.”
