Devastated at the confirmation of Hoengseong Korean Beef Rumpiskin’s disease

How can a cow who was well fed and healthy have such a disease…

On the 26th, local Korean beef farmers were embarrassed when a Korean beef farm in Ucheon-myeon, Hoengseong-gun, the largest Korean beef producer in Gangwon-do and the home of luxury Korean beef, was confirmed to have Rumpisky disease, a bovine viral disease

It is the second confirmed case of Rumpiskin disease in the province after Yanggu on the 24th

In Hoengseong-gun, 62,175 cattle are raised in a total of 1,344 households

On the 25th, when one 21-month-old castrated cow showed suspicious symptoms such as high fever, skin nodule, the farmhouse reported it to the quarantine authorities after veterinary treatment and was confirmed to be confirmed earlier in the day

The farmhouse’s livestock house is divided into three buildings and is run by family members, with a total of about 100 breeding heads

The quarantine authorities decided to bury only 43 cows raised in Bangsa-dong, which showed symptoms

The farm owner said, “I thought there would be no big problem because I tested negative for the first time, but after receiving the final positive notification, I was at a loss,” adding, “I am going to ask for a re-test, but I don’t know if it will be accepted.”

Around the outbreak farms, cattle are raised in four to five farms along the rural roads leading to the valley, and nearby farmers are becoming more worried

As farms are located in a terraced manner along the road, it is also difficult to block and quarantine due to frequent traffic from residents

Livestock authorities are worried that the outbreak will also adversely affect Hoengseong Korean Beef Brands, which has a high reputation nationwide

Hoengseong Korean Beef received the Grand Prize in the regional specialty and Korean Beef category for 16 consecutive years at the 2023 Korea Consumer Trust Representative Brand Awards hosted by the Korea Brand Management Association

In addition, it won the grand prize in the local luxury brand category for the ninth consecutive year at the 2023 Korea Luxury Brand Awards

Since establishing the basic plan for Hoengseong Korean Beef Luxury Project in 1995, concerns are growing that the efforts that have been continuously carried out will be hurt by the outbreak of Rumpiskin’s disease, which is deepening the concern of the authorities

An official from Hoengseong-gun said, “As soon as the vaccine arrives in Korea on the 28th, we will prevent the spread of the disease as much as possible through rapid vaccination,” adding, “If you show any suspicious symptoms, please report it immediately.”
