Hwaseong-si Supports Storage and Distribution of Colostrum for Dairy Cattle Farms

Annual Distribution of 2.5 Tons of Colostrum to Hanwoo Farms

Hwaseong City in Gyeonggi Province announced on the 27th that it has signed a business agreement with local dairy farm Jangan Nongsan to operate a colostrum bank.

According to the agreement, Hwaseong Agricultural Technology Center will lease facilities such as colostrum storage to Jangan Nongsan. Additionally, the colostrum produced by Jangan Nongsan will be collected and distributed to local Korean beef farms.

Colostrum is known to enhance calves' immunity and reduce disease rates and mortality. Hwaseong Agricultural Technology Center has been operating a colostrum bank to increase calf survival rates in emergency situations.

Since September last year, Hwaseong City has sequentially signed business agreements with four local dairy farms to receive colostrum. Hwaseong Agricultural Technology Center sterilized and analyzed the components of the supplied colostrum before distributing it to 97 local farms.

With the addition of one more colostrum supplying farm this time, Hwaseong City expects to be able to distribute 2.5 tons of colostrum annually to local farms.

A representative from Hwaseong Agricultural Technology Center stated, "We will continue to expand the number of supplying farms to ensure a stable supply of colostrum."
