The purpose of this study is to obtain data on the zones formed by the movement of livestock vehicles and to determine if such areas can be used to establish quarantine activities and quarantine policies for livestock epidemics. For this purpose, this study used mobile data on poultry-related livestock vehicles generated in 2019. InfoMap, a community detection method, was used for regional classification, and the results of the analysis were visualized on a map using GIS. The study results confirmed that the zone of the administrative unit can be classified based on the movement of livestock vehicles. In addition, the zones created by the vehicle movement could be seen to change depending on the purpose and timing of the operation of livestock vehicles. Some areas form relatively stable zones, such as Jeolla-do and Gyeongsang-do, while others change depending on the situation, such as Chungcheong-do, Gyeonggi-do, and Gangwon-do. Further, the zones derived for poultry differed from those derived for cattle and pigs in previous studies.

The purpose of this study is to improve the ammonia (NH3) emission inventory estimation in the domestic CAPSS (Clean Air Policy Support System). Currently, the ammonia emissions rate is obtained by multiplying the activity (number of livestock) by emission factors. The amount of movement and treatment are not considered in the estimation of ammonia emission rates. However, livestock manure is currently moved and treated in accordance with the energy recycling policy. In this study, the new emission estimation method were suggested considering the moving and treatment characteristics of livestock manure. A new ammonia emissions was calculated for Bcity and Y-gun at Chungcheongnam-do province. It was shown that the moving and treatment ratio of ammonia emissions were 4.3% and 8.4%, respectively. Furthermore, this ratio would be increased rapidly with the continuous establishment of large-scale manure treatment facilities.

Most of livestock houses are concentrated in certain area with mass rearing system resulting in rapid spread of infectious diseases such as HPAI (highly pathogenic avian influenza). The livestock-related vehicles which frequently travel between farms could be a major factor for disease spread by means of transmission of airborne aerosol including pathogens. This study was focused on the quantitative measurement of aerosol concentration by field experiment while vehicles were passing through the road. The TSP (total suspended particle) and PM10 (particle matter) were measured using air sampler with teflon filter installed downward the road with consideration of weather forecast and the direction of road. And aerosol spectrometer and video recorders were also used to measure the real-time distribution of aerosol concentration by its size. The results showed that PM2.5 was not considerable for transmission of airborne aerosol from the livestock-related vehicle. The mass generated from the road during the vehicle movement was measured and calculated to 241.4 μg/m3 by means of the difference between TSP and PM2.5. The dispersion distance was predicted by 79.6 m from the trend curve.
