[Korean Farmers' Newspaper, Reporter Igino] The Korea Native Chicken Association (President Moon Jeong-jin) revealed that, in anticipation of the special preventive measures for the winter of 2025-2026, they are putting all their efforts into preemptive education, farm guidance, and urgent inspections of the distribution market to block avian influenza (AI) from occurring throughout the entire process from the production to the distribution of native chickens, as AI has been occurring consecutively in poultry farms. To prepare for the AI occurrence season, the Native Chicken Association held a "Special Preventive Education for Native Chicken Practitioners" in September in Buyeo and Gwangju for native chicken practitioners (farmers, poultry traders, and distribution officials). Government and local government preventive officials also participated in the event.
