Damyang County in South Jeolla Province, led by Governor Jung Chulwon, is making every effort to support livestock farmers in order to reduce livestock deaths caused by the early heatwave.

According to the county on July 16, they are frequently sending text messages to over 650 livestock farms in the area, providing guidelines for managing livestock facilities in preparation for the heatwave. For 45 farms raising vulnerable livestock species such as pigs, ducks, and chickens, the county has assigned dedicated public officials to each farm to offer tailored guidance on heatwave response methods and precautions for animal care according to each farm's specific circumstances.

In addition, the county is simultaneously implementing various measures to prevent damage, including support for livestock disaster insurance, application of heat-blocking agents to livestock facilities, installation of ventilators for dairy farms, support for facilities to prevent livestock heatwave damage, and provision of high-temperature stress relief supplements.

So far, the county has confirmed that there have been no large-scale cases of livestock deaths. The county has allocated an emergency reserve fund of 60 million won and plans to quickly supply high-temperature stress relief supplements to farms raising vulnerable livestock species by July 18.

Governor Jung Chulwon emphasized, "A heatwave is a great hardship not only for people but also for livestock," and added, "We will continue to minimize damage through both the promotion of action guidelines and field-oriented administrative and financial support."
