National Institute of Animal Science Hanwoo Research Institute

The Hanwoo Research Institute is an organization under 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, responsible for everything from breeding to improvement and disease management for healthy Hanwoo, and also researches various technologies applicable to Hanwoo farms. Major facilities include a breeding laboratory for researching the reproduction of healthy Hanwoo, outdoor pastures, a cattle shed, and a calving barn. The outdoor pastures mainly graze cows, and Daegwallyeong, with its excellent grassland formation conditions, provides an optimal environment, positively contributing to the reproduction rate. The cattle shed is an indoor space designed to prevent pasture degradation due to overgrazing and to keep the cattle warm during the winter season. The calving barn is where newborn calves are raised and cared for, with meticulous management tailored to the characteristics of calves vulnerable to cold.
