Welcome to the National Institute of Animal Science

Thank you for visiting the website of the National Institute of Animal Science.

Korea’s livestock sector is undergoing rapid and complex changes. The impacts of climate change, rising production costs, growing social expectations for environmental sustainability and carbon neutrality, the expansion of companion animal ownership, and increasing awareness of animal welfare are reshaping the industry. While these shifts present significant challenges, they also offer a valuable opportunity to broaden the role and impact of animal science.

In response, the National Institute of Animal Science is committed to delivering science-based solutions. We are strengthening research that supports national policies and meets the needs of the field, including advancing environmentally friendly and carbon-neutral livestock systems, accelerating the practical adoption of smart livestock technologies, developing cost-saving solutions for farmers, and fostering animal welfare and related companion animal industries.

Moving forward, we will continue to develop technologies that matter most to both policy and practice, while delivering outcomes that the public can truly experience. As Korea’s leading livestock research institution, the National Institute of Animal Science will remain a trusted partner and a strong pillar for the sustainable future of the livestock industry.

We sincerely appreciate your continued interest and support. Thank you.
