Our livestock industry is currently facing rapid and various environmental changes. From the acceleration of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, expanding market liberalization, extreme weather events due to climate change, increasing complaints related to livestock odors, to the rapid aging of rural communities and the persistence of severe livestock diseases - the challenges are manifold. However, we believe that our approach and determination to overcome these challenges can turn them into new opportunities.

To address these pressing issues, the National Livestock and Science Institute pledges to support national policies through carbon neutrality and environmentally-friendly livestock transition, practical application of smart livestock technologies, fostering animal welfare and related industries, and the development of green biotech solutions. Our aim is to create and disseminate technologies with high practical relevance for the field.

Drawing upon our proud history of achievements, we commit to reinforcing cooperative relationships, strengthening both internal and external communications, and standing closer to the livestock community and the daily lives of our citizens. We aspire to leap forward as a leading global research institution that shapes the future. We ask for your continued support and interest.

Thank you.
