Regarding the pesticide egg scandal, which has become a social issue, we will strengthen the management and supervision authority of the Korea Food Safety and Management Certification Institute and emergency inspections of HACCP-certified farms by revising related laws to improve the overall business process so that safe livestock products can be distributed by canceling certification when harmful substances such as pesticides are detected. We will push for early exports of items that have been suspended due to the outbreak of diseases in Korea, support stable and continuous quarantine of items such as samgyetang, and improve the system for systematic management and support of export agricultural products from production to export,

We will do our best to prevent the inflow of diseases by thoroughly inspecting borders at airports to prevent the inflow of harmful livestock diseases and plant pests. In particular, we will do our best to prevent the inflow of diseases by preemptive measures such as monitoring and inspecting all countries of the outbreak of African swine fever, a foreign livestock disease, by inflow risk route, and strengthening foot-and-mouth disease and AI testing for imported portable agricultural products and strengthening plant pest quarantine. In the field of plant quarantine, we will establish a comprehensive safety management system that encompasses safety management of diseases, pests, and LMOs overseas, border, and domestic in border-oriented quarantine.

In addition, through active quarantine negotiations with export partners, fresh agricultural products such as pears and tomatoes were exported to South America for the first time. In April last year, the 12th International Convention on Plant Protection was successfully held in Songdo, Incheon, where 360 national representatives from 120 countries participated.In addition, for the development of the animal medicine industry, various communication channels have been established, including on-site meetings focused on public-private communication, workshops, and regular operation of visiting civil service counseling centers, and the euthanasia rate of abandoned animals has been reduced by improving animal protection promotion and animal protection center operation systems.

As such, last year, the quarantine headquarters ran tirelessly to create a healthy livestock environment for animals and the people based on the efforts of all employees and to realize a border quarantine that protects the agricultural and livestock industry. The role and duties of the quarantine headquarters are becoming increasingly heavy due to the global spread of national disaster-type livestock infectious diseases and high-risk plant pests and the increased likelihood of entering Korea, the continued emergence of new and mutant animal diseases, the increased demand for field problem-solving research, and the increased public expectations for agricultural and livestock safety.

The Korean Society for the Study of the Korean Horse Industry (KSHRI), a research group under the Korea Society of Animal Resources and Sciences (Chairman Choi Yoon-jae, Seoul National University professor), held a "2012 Autumn Academic Symposium, policies to foster the Korean horse industry, and strategies to revitalize it" at the Ugok International Conference Hall of Konkuk University on Dec. 4. The symposium, hosted by the Korea Society of Animal Resources and Science and sponsored by the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation and the Korea Horse Association, pointed out the problems of the domestic horse industry, which is still in its infancy. However, at the same time, the problems were shown to be "possible" to foster the domestic horse industry.

For this reason, many horse racing fans are calling for the Yeongcheon Horse Racing Park to secure transportation convenience from the beginning and to make sure that it plans to reorganize or newly open the surrounding road network. Meanwhile, Yeongcheon City announced that the first Yeongcheon Horse Academy of Professional Human Resources will open from the 19th (Mon) to foster professional human resources in the horse industry following the opening of Yeongcheon Horse Racing Park in 2016. At the end of this year, the Academy of Professional Human Resources Development was set up to prepare for the full-fledged implementation of the Horse Industry Promotion Act and the opening of Yeongcheon Horse Racing Park, to foster professional human resources for the development of the horse industry, and to prepare for information and education opportunities and horse national certificates for farmers wishing to raise horses.

Since the first outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza in Gochang, North Jeolla Province, on November 17, additional outbreaks have caused concern to livestock farmers and the people in Yeongam, South Jeolla Province, and Jeongeup, North Jeolla Province. However, with a sense of mission to eradicate it as soon as possible, we have focused on preventing the further spread of the disease and ending it early through precise diagnosis and epidemiological investigations. And as foreign red fire ants were discovered through preliminary observation at the container yard at Gamman Pier in Busan Port on September 28, we mobilized all available personnel to strengthen quarantine and forecasting of major ports.

In particular, Dr. Lee Jong-eon pointed out that horse specifications, breeding levels and environments are the same as those of advanced countries, but core technologies are below average. Unlike cows and pigs, which are the same livestock sector, the horse industry is most important in terms of "tilting (pure) and training" technology, which lacks professional manpower and has a low level of technology in Korea. In addition, the Thoroughbred Seasuma is producing not only racehorses but also horseback riding in Korea because it relies on imports and has almost no domestic seasuma, but it is in a very difficult situation due to unstable demand and economic difficulties. Nevertheless, Dr. Lee Jong-eon said that it is necessary to foster horseback riding as in the European case, as the horse riding industry will develop, such as rehabilitation horse riding and life horse riding becoming popular in the future.

The new year of hopeful martial arts has arrived in 2018. Last year, we would like to express our gratitude to the staff of the Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Quarantine Headquarters for silently performing their duties in their respective positions despite difficult conditions such as foot-and-mouth disease, highly pathogenic avian influenza, and the first discovery of an alien red fire ant. The new year is the Year of the Golden Dog. The dog is an animal that symbolizes bravery and wisdom, and is also a partner that has been with humans for a long time. The quarantine headquarters will also approach the people one step closer and become a partner for empathy and communication.

Amid high concerns that the horse racing industry, which was likened to a "golden egg-laying goose" that does not know the recession, may eventually be on the decline, the Korean Horse Association reportedly proposed the total amount of horse racing prize money next year, raising concerns over the crisis in the horse racing industry, as well as over the prize money negotiations with horse racing-related organizations. The Korean Horse Association recently decided to freeze the total prize money for horse racing next year at this year's level, citing continued sales decline, and delivered it to horse racing-related organizations. With horse racing sales continuously falling, the management of the horse racing society has set the stage for an active tightening next year, and in the horse racing prize money category, the government's guideline of 2.8% increase is applied, but the total prize money is frozen by reducing 3% from face-to-face prize money.

The adjustment of the site boundary of Yeongcheon Horse Racing Park is aimed at raising the awareness of the park by securing the right to view by incorporating hilly areas near the main entrance to the horse racing park, linking it to the development of Pungnakji, a nearby tourist area, and harmonizing it with the surrounding landscape.In addition, a large-scale amusement facility will be installed around the main entrance road of Yeongcheon Horse Racing Park to form a park belt and build a luxury horse racing park with the concept of a leisure and recreation space that can be enjoyed with family. At the working-level meeting held on the 8th, the government agreed to exchange opinions on the transfer site following the change of the boundary of the horse racing park and the opening of the access road, and to confirm the site boundary and facility layout as soon as possible.

However, in order for the horse industry to develop, it is necessary to develop certain areas such as horse racing, not to regulate them, but to develop them together, and to have full support from the state and local governments. In other words, it proved that the horse industry cannot be biased toward specific areas, but is a convergence and complex industry that can create high added value. Dr. Lee Jong-eon (Nanji Livestock Testing Station), who presented "Customized Riding Horse Production," voiced the same voice. Dr. Lee, who claimed that "Without horse racing, the entire horse industry cannot grow." He argued that the horse racing industry should play a key role in driving the entire horse industry to train professionals in the production, supply, fostering and assistance of racehorses, and that the entire horse industry can be large only when it grows together with the horse racing industry and the additional industry (horse meat, etc.).

In addition, it produced domestic racehorses comparable to advanced racehorses through the optimal breeding combination through the genetic analysis program. In addition, it has strengthened its quality competitiveness by making it a "prepared" racehorse that can be raced immediately by strengthening its late-stage training such as driving training and indoor horse racing and walking machine exercise. In addition, it has established a distribution market for advanced countries' second-generation horse auctions through the implementation of a Breeze-up auction (an auction in which a certain distance is sprinted and records are disclosed in most advanced countries). Meanwhile, the Korea Racing Authority said it plans to expand its exports to China, an international "big hand" from next year, following Malaysia's exports this year.

Such as easing regulations on the installation of horseback riding facilities, and that the government's budget support is essential because there is no revenue model for the production and sales of horseback riding in Korea. There were also announcements that pointed out the lack of basic infrastructure in other industries except for the horse racing industry. Moon Yoon-young, head of the Korean Horse Association's Horse Industry Promotion Agency, said he was motivated to train professional human resources in the horse society, pointing out the absence of a professional manpower training system and career certification system that will lead the horse industry, and the lack of a linkage system to employment. In particular, he also announced plans to establish a new horseback riding instructor and promote national recognition in addition to plans to implement the horse industry qualification test on the 8th.

An official from the Korea Racing Authority said, "We expect actual exports to be carried out next summer when the Chinese government implements quarantine inspections at the end of December and the sanitary conditions law is completed soon." Related organizations are busy to build practical and manpower infrastructure for the construction of the Yeongcheon Racing Park, which is being pursued with the aim of internationalizing and advancing Korean racing. First of all, on the construction of the Yeongcheon Racing Authority, which is set to be fully promoted with the aim of opening in December 2016, a working-level meeting was held on the 8th (Thursday) to discuss the adjustment of the site boundary of the Yeongcheon Racing Park with nine officials, including the Korean Racing Authority, Gyeongbuk Province, and Yeongcheon City.

Meanwhile, the Korea Racing Authority (KMA) held an extraordinary general meeting on the day and elected Konkuk University professor Jeong Seung-heon as its next chairman. Former chairman Kang Min-soo (Jeju University professor) will be appointed as honorary chairman in accordance with the bylaws. "The KMA will contribute to the creation of the market by linking with various industries such as leisure, festivals, and content industrialization by changing the perception of the overall horse industry in 2013," said Jeong Seung-heon, the new chairman. The three Korean horses exported by the Korea Racing Authority last year were provided by the Korea Racing Authority at a fairly low price for the export of Korean horses, but as the prices have been effective, Korean horses have been imported again from Malaysia. With the successive overseas shipments of Korean horses, expectations are rising that horses, which used to be Korea's representative imported items, will be on the list of representative export items.

From May this year, I asked the horse society to reflect it in next year's budget, but there was no reply. And it was not included in the budget that will be submitted to the Agriculture and Forestry Ministry until September 30. At the time of the agreement, they promised active cooperation between the horse society and Jeju Island, but now everyone is saying, "I don't know who I am." I am the chairman representing the farmers who produce Hallama and will go all the way to receive the subsidy. This happening reflects only the individual position of the government officials in charge of the horse industry in Jeju. If you are a public servant in charge of the horse industry, you should think about how you can ensure that horse producers in Jeju can raise horses safely and revitalize the horse industry.

Personally, however, I don't think that the Jeju horse industry should collapse. As far as I know, the budget of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry related to the horse industry at the end of next year has not been secured at all in Jeju. It is a matter of marking the livestock of horse meat sold in Jeju. About 1,100 horse meat are slaughtered in a year, of which about 60 percent are made of mud, 30 percent of them are made of Hallama, and 10 percent of them are made of Jeju horse. The plan is to indicate exactly what kind of horse meat it is. I went with the president of the Korea Racing Authority and the president of the Jeju Horse Association to ask for such matters, but there was no answer at all, saying that they would do it.

Currently, each horse riding course where the school horse riding experience is conducted has a different instruction plan, and the more the base of horse riding is expanded in the future, the more likely confusion will occur. In addition, the development of standardized instruction plans can be the basis for being incorporated into the national-level curriculum. In order to incorporate horseback riding into school sports, it is necessary to operate a pilot school, and then to spread it to general schools and go through the process of incorporating the national curriculum. For him, a standardized instruction plan is essential. The contents were announced today. It is still a little far.

However, wormblood is difficult to popularize because of its limited number and high price. In order to popularize horseback riding, it is important to have a racehorse for the general public to enjoy and revitalize related competitions. First of all, my grandfather was a coach for the Japanese national dressage and my father was also a coach for horse riding. There was no atmosphere at all that I had to ride a horse forcefully or forcibly at home. I chose this path myself because I was given an environment where I could ride a horse naturally since I was a child. Now I am a profession, and I am satisfied with teaching while traveling around the world.
