Chungju City has appointed airborne surgeons in 2025 and will begin livestock quarantine activities in earnest. Chungju City announced on the 8th that it had appointed six veterinarians who run local animal hospitals as public veterinarians for 2025.
A total of six people, including Park Chan, director of the Open Animal Hospital, will participate in the newly appointed public veterinarians, and they will carry out livestock disease prevention and quarantine work for livestock farms throughout Chungju City.
The city said that in the recruitment process for this airlift, it broke away from the existing method of targeting only veterinarians within Chungju City and expanded recruitment through the airlift doctor support project announcement so that veterinarians from other regions could also apply.
Through this, we expect to strengthen the expertise of livestock quarantine work and further strengthen the livestock disease management system in the region.
The appointed public veterinarian will support livestock quarantine work such as △ animal treatment △ vaccination against livestock infectious diseases △ blood collection for brucellosis and tuberculosis serology tests △ surveillance of livestock infectious diseases for livestock farms throughout the city throughout the year.
In particular, during the winter period of special quarantine measures for livestock infectious diseases, quarantine tasks to minimize the occurrence of diseases are carried out, such as △ carrying out patrol inspections of susceptible animals △ receiving reports of disease outbreaks and conducting primary disease tests △ culling and evaluating compensation △ guiding and supervising quarantine rules. plan.
A city official said, “We expect the appointed airlifters to do their best in active surveillance activities and quarantine work,” and added, “We ask that farms also strictly follow the quarantine rules and actively cooperate with the airlifters’ activities.”
The city plans to do its best to prevent livestock diseases in advance and secure the stability of the local livestock industry through the appointment of this airlift and strengthened quarantine measures.
Meanwhile, Chungju City announced a support project for the agricultural sector that will change from 2025. First, the city will introduce various new projects to improve the welfare of farmers and fishermen and relax qualification requirements so that more farmers can benefit.
A new rural visit bus project will be promoted in rural areas that lack medical infrastructure such as hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, etc. to provide on-site health and medical services, and a new special health checkup program for female farmers will also be launched.
The purpose of this is to improve the quality of life of female farmers by supporting screening and preventive counseling for vulnerable musculoskeletal and cardiovascular diseases.
In addition, the Happiness Voucher project, which supports leisure and cultural activities for female farmers and fishermen, abolished out-of-pocket expenses (20,000 won) and fully subsidized 170,000 won per person, eliminating the burden on farmers.
The public interest allowance, which is supported to promote the public value of agriculture and fisheries, increases user convenience by relaxing the existing residence requirement of more than 3 years to 1 year and expanding payment methods to cash or local currency.
Administrative procedures for agricultural support projects will also be simplified. The 15 types of auxiliary projects that previously supported farming materials for each type of cultivation will be converted to a method of paying compensation in proportion to the cultivation area for each of the three types of crops (rice, barley, wheat, and fruit trees).
Through this, the number of times farmers visit the administrative welfare center to apply for subsidy projects is significantly reduced, and farm autonomy is expanded by purchasing necessary farming materials in accordance with the farming plan.
The city plans to lay the foundation for ending dog eating by providing financial support and consulting for dog breeding farms, edible dog distributors, and butchers to close their businesses and convert their businesses.
In addition, we plan to massively expand the pet ticket campaign in response to the increase in the pet population. We plan to establish a new pet culture class to increase citizens’ sense of responsibility and awareness and create a mature pet culture in the region.
Mayor Cho Gil-hyung of Chungju said, “The new system and changed policies in the field of agricultural administration that will be implemented from 2025 will greatly contribute to improving the welfare of farmers and fishermen, increasing farm income and management stability, and establishing a companion animal culture.” He added, “In the future, various agricultural conditions other than climate change will “We will do our best for the continued development of Chungju agriculture amidst the changes,” he said.
