Awarded the 'Encouragement Prize' in the 2023 Livestock Policy Comprehensive Evaluation

Hampyeong-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 27th that it was recognized for its administrative capabilities in livestock quarantine hygiene and livestock sectors by winning the grand prize and encouragement award respectively in the ‘2023 Animal Quarantine Hygiene Policy Evaluation’ and the ‘2023 Livestock Policy Evaluation’ conducted among 22 cities and counties in Jeollanam-do.

This evaluation was conducted through the concretization, quantification, and measurement of evaluation indicators in four fields each for quarantine and livestock policies overall.

This year, the county actively promoted preventive quarantine policies focused on blocking highly pathogenic AI, foot-and-mouth disease, and lumpy skin disease.

In addition, it secured a large number of budgets including national and provincial subsidies in various livestock-related fields and was recognized for efforts such as securing government special feed purchase funds to alleviate the management burden on livestock farmers caused by soaring feed prices.

Lee Sang-ik, the county governor, said, “This award was possible not only because of administrative efforts but also due to the active interest and activities of livestock farmers,” adding, “We will make every effort to develop policies for the advancement of the livestock industry and to establish a thorough quarantine network by implementing strong quarantine measures to block livestock diseases.”
