The second and third pig farms built by applying the “Anseong-tailored odor reduction smart windowless livestock house standard model” developed jointly by Anseong-si and Seoul National University’s Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation for the first time among local governments nationwide have been completed, and the “Anseong-tailored odor reduction smart windowless livestock house standard model” project is progressing smoothly.
It has been only four months since the completion ceremony of the first farm on April 19th, and a total of six smart windowless farms will be completed within this year. Three farms (pig farms) have been completed, and the remaining three (two pig farms, one broiler farm) are currently in the process of being built. In addition, the fact that the first, second, and third smart windowless farms are all run by second-generation young successor farmers is a unique feature.
Anseong City is intensively promoting a 5-year, stage-by-stage reduction plan for livestock odor from ’23 to ’27, and by 2027, it will expand the standard model of Anseong-tailored odor-reducing smart windowless barns to more than 10% of Anseong City’s pig farms (demolish existing aging open-type barns and renovate/construct odor-free smart windowless barns), apply odor reduction facility standards that have been strengthened by more than 40%, and promote customized policies for farms, such as inducing them to close down by relocation and demolition for old and outdated farms with many complaints.
It was built as a smart windowless livestock farm with state-of-the-art systems, including a windowless central exhaust, washing tower (air washer, biofilter), liquid fertilizer circulation system (microbial activation treatment), CCTV, automatic feeding and watering system, ICT odor measuring device, and eight major quarantine facilities, and it is expected that livestock odor will be reduced by 80-100% compared to existing old open-type livestock farms.
In particular, as a key feature, the smart windowless barn No. 2 farm (pig) simultaneously applied two models of farrowing barn side-wall barn and gestation barn underground channel barn to automatically control the appropriate temperature and humidity in the pigsty using ICT for temperature-sensitive piglets, and the smart windowless barn No. 3 farm (pig) additionally shouldered KRW 1 billion of its own cost to increase the liquid manure storage tank to 3,400 tons and worked to resolve the issue of effective liquid manure circulation and manure treatment.
In addition, with the improvement of the smart breeding environment, PSY (annual birth piglets per sow) is expected to be higher than the OECD average of 29, which is 30% higher than the Korean average of 21, and farm productivity is also expected to improve significantly. In particular, it is expected to be free from vicious livestock diseases such as African swine fever (ASF) and porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) by blocking external risk factors in the livestock shed and managing high-level quarantine.
Mayor Kim Bo-ra of Anseong City emphasized, “By smoothly promoting the 5-year, stage-by-stage livestock odor reduction project that our city is focusing on, we have achieved the vision of ESG mutual livestock farming in Anseong City, and have taken the lead in improving the image of Anseong City and the livestock industry in Korea by not only resolving livestock odor but also increasing farm competitiveness by increasing productivity.” He also said, “If we respond to the extinction of rural areas by supporting young successor farmers to become next-generation leaders through the expansion and spread of smart livestock farming and becoming the future of rural areas, I believe it can become an alternative for sustainable livestock farming.”
