Fourth, we will make every effort to improve the quality of animal medicines and to promote animal welfare by establishing a mature pet culture where people and animals coexist. In order to improve the quality of animal medicines, we will provide consumer satisfaction-oriented administrative services through fair and prompt civil complaints, and strengthen the competitiveness of animal pharmacists by enhancing differential quality control through selection and concentration. In addition, in order to revitalize the distribution of high-quality and ethical livestock products, we will expand the certification of welfare farms to implement an animal welfare certification system that consumers trust and animals are happy. We will consider establishing a special judicial police to strengthen animal protection functions and revitalize the animal registration system. We will do our best to realize One Selfcare where animals and people's welfare work together by strengthening cooperation with relevant organizations

Third, we will become a research institute for animal and plant hygiene that the people trust and lead the world through the development of technology centered on consumers and sites. We will secure the sovereignty of animal vaccines early by advancing vaccine manufacturing technology in foot-and-mouth disease and establishing an AI antigen bank. In addition, we will contribute to the increase of farm household income by developing vaccines to reduce consumable diseases such as swine flu virus (PED), which is a major cause of productivity decline in livestock farms, and by thorough monitoring of new and mutated diseases that can enter from abroad, we will actively support the development of stem cell therapy, one of the new growth engines. We will become a national standard outpatient disease research institute by securing expertise in plant quarantine field, such as strengthening the development of overseas plant disease diagnosis technology, forecasting and control technology, and expanding overseas

In addition, in order to strengthen the safety management of livestock products in the production stage, we will expand the verification of HACCP for farms, slaughterhouses and oil collection plants to ensure the quality, and further strengthen the distribution history management of pork other than imported beef. In relation to the pesticide egg wave, which has become a social issue, we will strengthen the Korea Food Safety Management Agency's authority to supervise the management of pesticides through the revision of related laws and emergency inspections of HACCP-certified farms to ensure that safe livestock products can be distributed, such as canceling certification when harmful substances such as pesticides are detected. We will promote early export of items that have been suspended due to the outbreak of domestic diseases, support stable and continuous quarantine of items that are being exported, and improve the system for systematic management and support of exported agricultural products from the

Second, we will establish a scientific foundation and a preventive import risk analysis and an efficient border quarantine foundation for a clean Korea. To prevent the influx of overseas malignant livestock infectious diseases and plant pests, we will thoroughly conduct border quarantine at the airport. In particular, we will do our best to prevent the inflow of diseases by proactively responding to African swine fever, which is a foreign livestock infectious disease, monitor and inspect all countries at risk of entry, and strengthen foot-and-mouth disease/AI tests and plant pest quarantine on imported portable agricultural and livestock products. 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-oriented, and domestic quarantine. We will come up with a plan to allow imports of high-risk reproductive plants after lowering the risk of pests in the other country,

The weight of horse-riding will also improve. In order to strengthen international universality, the company plans to subdivide the division units and switch the stance of applying horse-riding weight from general races in the lower groups to horse-riding competitions. The division of the division unit will be made on a monthly basis in the semi-annual division, and the weight of horse-riding weight will be given by dividing the unit into short, medium and long distances from those that have not been classified for distance. The horse-riding competition will also be reorganized into a system that selects the highest horse by distance, age, and gender, and plans to strengthen the qualification, main round, and final system. All grade races, which select the highest horse by condition, will be open races (16 races in 2015), and mixed open races will be open to foreign horses.

The rating of each racehorse is usually a method in which the handicapper closely judges the race performance of the racehorse in the race, expresses and publishes the ability value of the racehorse in numbers, and determines the burden weight when competing in the race based on the rating figures. The Korea Racing Authority plans to first implement the first-tier handicap race, where the racing ability of the race is clearly revealed, to establish the basis for the application of the rating system, and the second-tier will implement it from November, when the racehorse rating is expected to stabilize. The rating will be published on the Korea Racing Authority's 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 first and second-tier racehorses, and "weekly rating change details," which include the rating changes of the previous racehorse.

The inclusion of horse meat in Nonghyup's distribution network and restaurant line, which have already established themselves as cattle and pork, will encourage horse meat to enter the market and will seek to standardize products by establishing specifications management manuals such as developing feed exclusively for horses. The Beef Horse Racing Team, which will be promoted in earnest based on the Seogwipo Livestock Cooperative Federation next year, was also launched on the same day, kicking off these initiatives. The new name and brand of the meat will be unveiled as early as this month, raising expectations for the effectiveness of the special zone. The second task is to establish a foundation for the rural equestrian industry centered on cooperatives. The detailed task was to establish a horse industry support center in Jeju and foster key personnel and leading members of the union through education.

We will make all-out efforts to ensure that the highly pathogenic avian influenza, which is currently occurring intermittently in duck farms, does not spread and ends early. Scientific epidemiological analysis based on information and communication technology such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and big data will enable preemptive and effective quarantine management. In order to prevent the recurrence of foot-and-mouth disease, we will try to achieve the goal of purifying foot-and-mouth disease by maintaining the positive rate of lean meat antibodies at more than 70%, and establishing a regular quarantine system centered on the site. In addition, we will strengthen the foundation for plant quarantine by making it mandatory to report diseases and expand inspection personnel to detect and quickly control high-risk foreign pests such as foreign red fire ants, establish a nationwide forecasting network, and establish a forecasting control center. In addition, we will advance the management of plant diseases and

Employees of the Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Quarantine Headquarters and the people who care about the Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Quarantine Headquarters! The role and duties of the quarantine headquarters are becoming increasingly serious due to the global spread of national disaster-type livestock infectious diseases and high-risk plant pests and the increasing likelihood of entry into Korea, the continuous emergence of new and mutant animal diseases, the increasing demand for field problem-solving research, and the increasing public expectations for agricultural and livestock safety. As a national standard quarantine and quarantine agency, the Agriculture, Forestry and Livestock Quarantine Headquarters will work as one body and act as a watchman to defend against the risk of livestock diseases and plant pests at the forefront this year. To this end, the quarantine headquarters aims to focus on the core values of 'One-Health, field-oriented, communication cooperation, future response,

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 the Protection of Plants (IPPC) was successfully held in Songdo, Incheon, where 360 national representatives from around the world participated in plant quarantine. In addition, various communication channels were set up for the development of the animal medicine industry, including on-site meetings, workshops, and regular operation of visiting civil service counseling centers, and reduced the euthanasia rate of abandoned animals by improving the animal protection promotion and animal protection center operation system. As such, last year, the quarantine headquarters has been working tirelessly to create a "healthy livestock environment for animals and people" based on the efforts of all employees and to realize a "border quarantine that protects the agricultural industry

In addition, it contributed to the early end of foot-and-mouth disease by developing the world's first simple antigen diagnosis kit for three types of foot-and-mouth disease (O, A, and Asia 1) and applying it to the field. In addition, in August, through the reorganization of the quarantine organization, the quarantine monitoring department and the avian influenza research team, which oversees livestock quarantine, were established to strengthen their expertise in comprehensive response to livestock diseases and research and diagnosis of avian influenza. Since the first outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N6) in Gochang, Jeollabuk-do on November 17, it has occurred in Yeongam, Jeollanam-do, and Jeongeup, Jeollabuk-do, causing concern to livestock farmers and the public, but with a sense of mission to eradicate it as soon as possible, we have made efforts to prevent further spread of the disease and to end it early through rapid precision diagnosis and epidemiological investigations.

My fellow Koreans and my dear employees of the Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Quarantine Headquarters, the new year of 2018 has dawned full of hope. Last year, I would like to express my gratitude to the employees of the Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Quarantine Headquarters for their service in their respective positions despite difficult conditions such as the outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease, the outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza, and the first discovery of an ant from a foreign country. The new year is the Year of the Golden Dog. Dogs are both a symbol of bravery and wisdom, and they are companions who have been with people for the longest time. The quarantine headquarters will also approach the people one step closer and become a partner to empathize and communicate with them. Despite many difficult conditions last year, the quarantine headquarters has produced excellent results based on its accumulated expertise and know-how. As an illustration,

The year 2018 is the Year of the Golden Dog. Dogs are regarded as another family as the friendliest pets to humans. With such friendliness of dogs, public officials in rural areas will get closer to farmers and the people and listen to and practice the voices on the ground. We will continue to innovate the way we work to establish an organizational culture that values the field and customers. We will strengthen our communication with the field by thinking from the perspective of farmers and the people and reflecting the voices of consumers from the planning stage of the project. This year, the Winter Olympics, a global festival, will be held in Pyeongchang, Korea. In preparation for the Olympics, we will actively support farmers and the people to participate in the Olympics by thoroughly preventing livestock diseases such as AI and strengthening technical support for improving the livestock environment such as odor.

In order to expand the export of fresh agricultural products, we will support difficult technologies in the field, such as leading maintenance technologies after harvest, and make efforts to transfer customized agricultural technologies to developing countries as well as strategic cooperation with advanced agricultural countries. Fourth, for balanced national development, we will focus on fostering regional specialized industries and fostering agricultural manpower, the future of rural areas. By linking local resources and agricultural products with the secondary and tertiary industries such as processing, distribution, experience, and tourism, we will develop them into the sixth industry to create new added value. We will contribute to balanced national development by revitalizing the local economy and creating jobs by promoting "Innovative City Season 2" in earnest in line with the relocation of public institutions to the provinces. We will actively foster young farmers who will lead the revitalization of

We will develop high value-added functional materials such as food and medicine using agricultural and livestock products such as insects, while strengthening R&D so that urban agriculture and healing agriculture can spread into our lives, contributing to the improvement of public health and quality of life, and leading to job creation. Third, we will strengthen the competitiveness of our agriculture and expand global technological cooperation in response to market opening such as FTAs. In order to discover new demand and establish an export base, we will continue to foster excellent varieties to expand their supply, and secure the competitiveness of our agricultural and livestock products by improving the quality and productivity of livestock products, and expanding the sustainable eco-friendly livestock base such as animal welfare technology. We developed the world's first mini-antibody (3D8) protein last year that inhibits the growth of low-pathogenic avian influenza (AI),

In particular, in preparation for the full implementation of the Pesticide Allowance List Management System (PLS), we will expand the ex officio registration of pesticides and actively promote education on the safe production of agricultural products and the safe use of pesticides to prevent damage to farmers. Second, we will secure future growth engines for our agricultural industry and lead job creation by integrating the 4th Industrial Revolution convergence technology. We will lead the innovative growth of our agriculture by spreading Korean smart farms that can improve productivity and quality and reduce labor. To this end, we will develop precision growth management software by combining technology standardization of smart farms, technologies of the 4th Industrial Revolution such as big data and artificial intelligence with agriculture, and we will create a smart agricultural ecosystem by fostering more than 100 smart agricultural experts every year. In order to actively foster the seed industry and

In the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution, the Rural Development Administration will pursue rural development projects with a focus on the following four points: field-oriented and customer-oriented, which provide a strong boost to customers, in order to find answers at the level of farmers and the public for the sustainable growth of the agricultural industry through technological innovation and the leap forward of agriculture. First, we will strive for stable food production, such as stabilizing the supply and demand of rice, and safe food production for the people. We will expand the production base of rice suitable and field crops through the cultivation of field crops using rice fields and the development of mechanized field agriculture technology, and promote rice consumption by revitalizing the processing industry, such as the development of varieties and processed foods exclusively for rice flour. While developing varieties and cultivation technologies that can adapt to climate change such as

A hopeful new morning has dawned in the year of the 2018 戊戌. A new beginning brings us hope and expectation, and ignites challenges and passion. I wish you all good health and happiness in the new year. I would like to express my deep gratitude to the farmers and rural public officials who have wisely overcome the challenges faced in agriculture and rural areas over the past year, including drought, hail, and avian influenza (AI). This year, our agricultural and rural communities are facing major changes and challenges, including the expansion of market opening, climate change, and aging, including FTAs. A huge wave of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which brings about innovative changes in the national system, society, and life in general, is also coming in. However, these changes and challenges can be new opportunities, depending on how we accept and utilize them. Seungpung-blue (乘風破浪).

The new year of the 2018 戊戌 has arrived. Happy New Year to all of you and horse industry officials, who are 900,000 horse riders nationwide. I wish you a strong and unstoppable year like running a horse. The value of life that people aim for is gradually changing. In the past, work used to come first, but now there is weight on the importance of work-life balance. The emergence of the travel and tourism industries and the attention of various sports reflect this. Taking this trend, Gyeonggi Province is giving support to horseback riding to become a "healing leisure sport." Until now, Gyeonggi Province has designated Yongin, Hwaseong, and Icheon as special horse industry zones and has established infrastructure for the horse industry by supporting horse riding facilities. Last year, the "Youth Equestrian Festival with Family," a festival for horse riders, was held on the site of the new office building in Gwanggyo-gu, Suwon. Gyeonggi Province plans to expand the horse industry this year with various projects

There are many places where horse-making education is conducted like a rehabilitation horse riding, but there is no place where horse-making education is conducted. Therefore, the Martha's Faculty of Jeju National University focuses on horse-making education and training professional manpower. Production, fostering, and training in the horse industry serve as the 'back' of the horse industry. Just as a tree needs strong roots to be healthy, it is necessary to develop the fields of production, fostering, and training, which are the basics of the horse industry. The Martha's Faculty of Jeju National University, which consists of two departments, the Department of Horse Resources and the Department of Martha's, includes training practice and training courses in the entire first to fourth grades. It is not just learning theories such as pregnancy, imprinting, and molting, but provides education that can increase added value through practical training in stages on technical training.

In the meantime, as the implementation of integrated mountain racing has emerged as a major issue in the Horse Racing Innovation Plan of the Horse Racing Association, the racehorse producer organization has strongly opposed it, but it is analyzed that the producer organization was no longer able to insist on unconditional opposition as the Horse Racing Association proposed measures to protect domestic horses through several adjustments. As registration for participation in Seoul Horse Racing Park has already proceeded normally, and the Racehorse Producers Organization has signed an agreement on the implementation of the Horse Racing Innovation Plan, the pain caused by the horse racing innovation plan, which has continued since the end of last year, is in the final step.

Congratulations to Racing Media, which celebrates its 19th anniversary in June, when summer begins. I commend the executives and employees of the Horse Industry Journal for their efforts to provide various news and information through the medium of "horse" with special characteristics. Since the implementation of the Horse Industry Promotion Act, the 2nd Comprehensive 5-Year Plan for Promotion of Horse Industry" has been established and it is time to shift to a new paradigm, and I think the Horse Industry Journal is playing the role of a medium covering all related fields." As a result, I feel that the Korean horse industry is growing little by little, and that the Republic of Korea is getting one step closer to the horse. On top of that, I would like to thank you for being a great help in the growth of our Korean Association of Jangje. Even the iron, which is red in the furnace, can be shaped well only when it is taken out and tapped at the right time to make useful items. The Korean horse industry is also

In addition, many changes and efforts are under way, such as the implementation of horse racing, the change of system, and the production and introduction of excellent horse racing. Despite the efforts of the horse racing industry, the company is pouring out various regulatory proposals that have not been made in other horse racing countries. This is a situation that is weakening the efforts of the horse racing industry to achieve the advancement of horse racing, which is leading to concern. The innovative proposals for change and reform that the Korean Horse Racing Association has been ambitiously pushing for are also holding back the development of horse racing. The horse racing community should join forces to deal with this, and the Horse Racing Culture Newspaper should take the lead in creating a healthy and advanced horse racing by gathering the right public opinion and presenting a mature, future-oriented vision. Congratulations on the 19th anniversary of the establishment of the Horse Culture

I sincerely congratulate you on the 19th anniversary of the foundation of the Horse Racing Culture Newspaper, the only horse racing magazine in Korea, and the 4th anniversary of the foundation of the Horse Industry Journal. The Horse Racing Culture Newspaper has faithfully played its role as a leading horse racing paper and has made great efforts to raise social awareness of horse racing by delivering trends in the horse racing world without addition or subtraction, suggesting alternatives for the development of horse racing, such as the improvement of the system and the horizon of Korean horse racing. Once again, I would like to thank the CEO of the Horse Culture Newspaper, Kim Moon-young, and other executives and officials for their hard work. Currently, the Korea Racing Authority is taking the direction to enter advanced horse racing for a new leap forward. Recently, the Pukyong Racing Horse "Triple Nine" made a remarkable achievement in a neck-and-neck race with a foreign top-class horse
