Tridge summary

The National Korean Beef Association has proposed banning the practice of transplanting fertilized Korean beef eggs into dairy cows, citing concerns over market stability and supply-demand impacts. They argue that only calves born from Korean beef should be recognized as such and seek legal standards to prevent dairy cow surrogacy.

However, the industry is worried that such a ban could hinder the improvement of Korean cattle. The government, noting that these calves represent a small percentage of the total, plans to consult with related industries to develop appropriate measures.
