The Gyeonggi-do Animal Hygiene Testing Institute announced on the 13th that it has newly deployed slaughter inspection veterinarians at the Hwaseong Hangang Food Slaughterhouse starting from the 10th to conduct on-site slaughter inspections. The Gyeonggi-do Animal Hygiene Testing Institute plans to expand the recruitment of "fixed-term slaughter inspectors" to build a stable inspection system starting with this deployment. Nam Young-hee, Director of the Gyeonggi-do Animal Hygiene Testing Institute, said, "We expect that the deployment of slaughter inspection veterinarians will significantly improve the efficiency of slaughter inspection work" and "We will do our best to create an environment where our livestock products can be consumed with peace of mind through thorough inspections and tight quarantine management."

The veterinarians are commissioned by cities and counties to perform public veterinary duties for animal quarantine and livestock product hygiene management. The commissioned slaughter inspection veterinarians will conduct tasks such as inspecting livestock to be slaughtered and their meat, handling livestock and livestock products that fail inspection, confirming whether the slaughterhouse and its employees comply with regulations, and collecting environmental samples at the slaughterhouse to prevent the introduction of national disaster-type livestock infectious diseases such as avian influenza (AI), conducting microbial inspections such as salmonella, and monitoring residual substances to preemptively block hazards from the production stage to the consumption stage.
