National Institute of Animal Science Hanwoo Research Institute

The Hanwoo Research Institute is an affiliated institution of the National Institute of Animal Science, established on January 6, 2015, and is located at 4937 Gyeonggang-ro, Daegwallyeong-myeon, Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province. It plays a pivotal role in the development of Korea's Hanwoo industry and is responsible for everything from breeding and improvement to disease management for healthy Hanwoo, and various technologies applicable to Hanwoo farms are also being researched. Major facilities include breeding laboratories that research the breeding of healthy Hanwoo, outdoor pastures, cattle sheds, and calving sheds. The outdoor pastures mainly graze cows, and Daegwallyeong, which has good conditions for grassland formation, provides an optimal environment, playing a positive role in the breeding rate. The cattle sheds are indoor spaces designed to prevent grassland degradation from overgrazing and to allow cattle to spend the winter warmly. The calving sheds are places where newborn calves are raised and cared for, with meticulous management tailored to the characteristics of calves, which are vulnerable to cold.
