Kim Jong Il Inspects Chicken and Pig Farms in Kanggye

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

   Pyongyang, January 25 (KCNA) -- General Secretary Kim Jong Il gave field guidance to the Kanggye Chicken Farm and the Kanggye Pig Farm.
    The first leg of his guidance was the Kanggye Chicken Farm.
    He went round the room for education in revolutionary relics and the room for the study of President Kim Il Sung's reminiscences before being informed of the work done since the start of the farm's operation by its officials. Then, he dropped in at various production processes to acquaint himself in detail with the production and management of the farm.
    Expressing his great satisfaction over the fact that the workers, technicians and officials of the farm have thoroughly established the scientific raising system and new production processes in the past to turn the farm into one serving for the people's living, he gave a high appreciation of their feats.
    Saying that the farm is playing an important role in improving the people's diet, he set forth the tasks to be carried out by the farm.
    What is important, above all, in putting the production on a normal basis at high rate is to satisfactorily settle the feed problem, he said, stressing the need to strive for building solid fodder bases so as to supply nutritive feed, including protein fodder, by the farm itself.
    In order to increase the production of chicken and eggs at the farm, he said, it is necessary to establish the scientific breeding system to gain good breeds suited to the climatic and soil conditions of the country and put the raising on a scientific basis, effectively ensure the equipment and technical management and steadily enhance the technical level and skill of the producers.
    He also said that the farm should pay deep attention to the scientific research into poultry farming and provide enough disinfection facilities and thoroughly establish the strict anti-epidemic system to prevent loss of even a chicken.
    Then he went to the Kanggye Pig Farm newly built in Jagang Province.
    After being briefed on the farm in front of its panoramic picture, he went round it to acquaint himself in detail with its construction and management.
    He highly praised the feats of its builders, noting with great satisfaction that the province has successfully built the modern pig farm with high capacity by its own efforts.
    This modern stock-breeding centre in the province will be helpful to further increasing the meat production, he said, advancing the tasks to be carried out by the farm.
    In order to produce more meat at the farm, it is necessary to establish the scientific management system on the basis of modern technology and, at the same time, take drastic measures for fodder supply to satisfactorily solve the feed problem by its own efforts and effect a new turn in raising pig, he said.
    Being told that the production at stock-breeding centres built in different parts of the province has been put on a normal basis at high rate to pay off profoundly, he underscored the need to give fullest play to the production potentials of the already built chicken, duck, pig and rabbit farms so as to provide the people in the province with more bountiful and civilized life.
    He was accompanied by Pak To Chun, chief secretary of the Jagang Provincial Committee of the WPK, and Kim Ki Nam, secretary of the WPK Central Committee.
