First, we will strengthen public-private cooperation research to put the original technology for localization of foot-and-mouth disease vaccines into practical use at an early stage, and build a new BL3 facility specializing in the diagnosis of foot-and-mouth disease. In addition, we will promote the development of AI bio-toxic vector vaccines and the certification of avian influenza OIE standard laboratory to establish AI prevention technology. We will strive to develop technology to respond to diseases that are less productive in livestock farms and establish two-way channels with diagnostic institutions nationwide, and build a new quarantine laboratory facility to promote research on honeybee diseases.

We will also strengthen the management of non-vegetative routes by designating and managing items that are feared to be contaminated by pests through risk analysis, and conducting monitoring and surveys at ports such as Busan and Incheon for general containers brought in from areas where red fire ants are feared to enter. In addition, we will continue to make efforts to secure the safety of livestock products in the production stage, such as preparing measures to reduce antibiotics and establishing a consultative body for antibiotic resistance according to the results of monitoring antibiotic resistance in the livestock sector.

The purchase cap for male and female horses, which had been set at $30,000, will be abolished, while restrictions on the trading market will also be abolished. In the case of mares, the introduction of foreign race horses is also planned to be allowed. The introduction of male and female horses to compete will be allowed around 2018. Meanwhile, the Korean Horse Association plans to allow only 25% of the total number of foreign horses to be introduced in order to solve the difficulties of domestic horse production farmers due to the abolition of the upper limit on the introduction of foreign horses. In other words, the government will abolish the upper limit for the introduction of foreign horses and thoroughly restrict the operation of foreign horses to prevent them from turning a blind eye to domestic horses that are lagging behind due to the implementation of the integrated mountain racing and the introduction of the rating system.

In order to establish the basis for the application of the rating system, the Korea Racing Authority will first implement the first-tier handicap race, which clearly reveals the racing ability of the race, and the second-tier race will be implemented in November, when the race horse rating is expected to stabilize. The rating will be announced on the Korea Racing Authority website and today's race, and the announcement will be made before 5 p.m. every Wednesday, divided into "general rating," which includes the rating of racehorses registered as racehorses in the 1st and 2nd groups, and "weekly rating change details," which includes changes in the rating of the race horse in Jeonju. Although not confirmed, the plan to strengthen the competitiveness of Korean racehorses, which is envisioned by the Korea Racing Authority, includes the introduction of excellent horses and the establishment of an industrial feedback system for horse racing sales.

Despite our efforts, the possibility of national disaster-type livestock diseases and high-risk plant pests entering Korea is increasing day by day due to the expansion of international trade and climate change. In addition, due to the improvement of the quality of life, the public's eye level on the safety management of agricultural and livestock products and the level of animal protection and welfare is increasing. Based on the experience and expertise accumulated this year, the Agriculture, Livestock and Quarantine Headquarters will do its best to realize the "one-health public interest value for building a healthy and sustainable agricultural industry foundation.

In particular, horse racing sales have continued to slow down even though the number of races and the number of days released has increased since 2002, and the horse racing population has also been reorganized mainly for enthusiasts due to a sharp drop in new customers, down 42 percent in 10 years. An official from the Korea Racing Authority said, "Korea Racing Authority has reached the limit of race supply by continuing to increase the number of days released, and the quality of racing has deteriorated due to the expansion of the race supply, which has led to a drop in horse racing demand, resulting in a drop in horse racing's business performance, which eventually leads to a vicious cycle of expanding the race supply again," explaining the background of the race system reform, saying that essential approaches for innovation across horse racing are urgently needed to break the vicious cycle.

Last year, the runner-up at the Breeders' Cup, which is considered the world horse racing festival of the Korean Racing Association's K-Nix selection horse, "Nixgo," was a feat that gave great hope to Korea's stagnant horse racing industry, and I think it was the starting point for the horse society's efforts to bear fruit. We hope that the second and third Nixgo's birth will be returned to production and that the glory of true world championship through domestic horses will unfold as soon as possible, and we hope that the hopeful Golden Pig Year will be a year of great hope, luck, fulfillment of wishes, and a happy year for all of you.

I think the past year has been harsher and more difficult than any other year due to difficulties in sales, such as falling auction winning rates in our production sector, so the expectations and hopes for the new year are different. We hope that the fertility of pigs will facilitate production and the golden pig's energy will lead to higher auction prices and improved successful bid rates, making everyone rich. The spring day when horse racing sales continued to grow is gone, and now it is time to enter a new growth path with clean, fair and exciting horse racing to overcome the decline in horse racing customers and the decline in sales and the production of excellent horses to produce stama.

The Korea Federation of Horse Industry is seeking to export the racetrack system to neighboring Southeast Asian countries that are interested in Korea's system, such as the Philippines, to overcome the limitations of Korea's excellent horse racing model. It is also to find the two meanings of exporting the operating system and creating jobs. In addition, through collaboration with the horse-related organizations, we will proceed with the horse race, which is the general public and finds the meaning of symbiosis, and the meaning of horses, which are the representative companion of animals, following 2018 to further convince the meaning of familiar and shared horses.

Unfortunately, however, it has not yet been aired for general broadcasting due to the limitations of the broadcasting station's perception of horses. This is also the reason why the cooperation between the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, the main body of the horse industry, and the Korean Horse Association is regrettable.The year 2019 is the middle of the second five-year plan to foster the horse industry, and efforts such as youth horseback riding to popularize the horse industry should continue, as well as strengthen their own formal league horse-riding competitions for subsidies and use, and spread public efforts that the whole nation is interested in.

While the second five-year plan for fostering the horse industry has been partially successful in two years at the end of 2018, the year of the golden pig has passed and the new year of the year has come again, which has not been able to overcome the limitations of improving awareness of the horse industry as a whole. In 2018, the Korean Federation of Horse Industries tested and implemented various contents to improve awareness of the right horse culture and to test the win-win model of interacting with the general public to spread the base of the horse industry.

It was built on a 60,000-pyeong school ranch with a floor space of 30,000 pyeong. Currently, it has 52 stalls and is working on various facilities to consider horses. As a luxury equestrian stadium, it will be able to play a big role in hosting various equestrian events in Jeju. We will also introduce facilities using experience data centers and sculptures to create a surrounding environment, a precious equestrian stadium where anyone can visit, and Jeju's landmarks. In particular, I have high expectations for the president of Jeju National University, as he has a clear vision for the horse industry and is generous with his support. The 95th National Sports Festival Equestrian Games, which will be held from October 28 to November 3, will also take place here. We will do our best to make the competition a memorable one with every effort to prepare for safety.

Since we do not have many such manpower yet, we need harmony rather than sharing. In addition, the equestrian facilities approved by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism are not only in charge of athletes, but are operated as the most important facilities for training horses, and I think it should be recognized as the most important sales market for farmers, especially as a seller of horses. Our industry is currently very poor and small in terms of industry. However, it has a very high growth potential in the future and has the potential to be spotlighted as a high-quality public sports leisure by the people.

Recognizing that reckless competition among these industries rather hinders growth, we need to induce a campaign of harmony and co-prosperity. In addition, public relations should also be carried out to overcome the negative image of horseback riding. Horseback riding facilities are for everyone, and most horse-riding facilities are not just horse-riding businesses for consumers, but are also horse-producing, nurturing, and training institutions. The main purpose and activities are the same wherever the approval authority is. It is necessary for the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs to embrace the horse-riding facilities without separating them.

Equestrian facilities are all horse-use facilities, and most horse-riding facilities are not just horse-use facilities for consumers, but are also horse-producing, nurturing, and training institutions. The main purpose and activities are the same wherever the approval authority is. The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs needs to embrace the horse-riding facilities without separating them. This is a time when professional manpower is very scarce, and it is an important time for the horse industry. Since the skill of training horses is not a simple skill, farmers who simply produce horses cannot solve this part alone. Since we do not have many such manpower yet, we need harmony rather than sharing.

According to the Horse Industry Promotion Act, it is the special zone promotion team that inspects, preoccupies, and evaluates what needs to be done in Jeju Island, which has been designated as a special zone this year. It plays a role in evaluating and deciding whether projects related to the special zone are proceeding smoothly according to the plan. In particular, I am a person in the academic world and am in charge of examining and evaluating the expansion of educational infrastructure and its necessity. The first members of the promotion team, which will be active until December this year, need a promotion team because they need to evaluate the ongoing project within this year. Focusing on consulting policies and visiting and evaluating the site, we are working to ensure that Jeju Island, the first special industrial zone at the end of the year, can become a model for the special zone.

I believe it is a desirable idea to build a policy control tower for each local government through the center. The policy control of the production, fostering, and training of horses, which are livestock, is necessary to create an efficient management system in which horse riding facilities and farmers can quickly share information and receive what they need through regional cooperatives that have already established branches. Recognizing that reckless competition among these industries rather hinders growth, we need to induce a campaign of harmony and co-prosperity. In addition, public relations should be carried out to overcome the negative image of horseback riding.
