[Rural Advancement Association News=Reporter Park Hyun-ryul] The National Institute of Animal Science under the Rural Development Administration has established a plan to develop a new breed of goats by 2029 and to distribute them to farms by 2030.

Additionally, the replacement of aircraft capable of transporting livestock from New Zealand has been carried out since last year until mid-this month.
