RESEARCH CENTER PRODUCES ANTIBIOTICS
PRODUCES CATTLE-PLAGUE SERUM -- Nodong Sinmun, 17 Dec 49
The National Livestock Health Research Center near Pyongyang conducts
research, carries out experiments, and manufactures various types of drugs for
the prevention of livestock epidemics. This research center now occupies new
buildings recently built at Taesong San, Imwon-rayon, Taedong-kun, P'yongan
Namdo. The livestock experimental farm is equipped with large buildings to
house the experimental cattle, immunized cattle, healthy animals, and the most
modern experimental facilities.
Kim Chang-ch'un, a scientist and party member, who has been working on cat-
tle-plague serums, succeeded in producing serums, in July 1949, for the first
time in the northern half of the People's Republic of Korea. His valuable ac-
complishment is attributed to his extensive application of the advanced Soviet
veterinary science techniques, and also to his serious study.
The tests proved that Comrade Kim's serums required noticeably less in-
jection time than ordinarily required, and the serums proved to be of excellent
quality. The quantity of serum scheduled for production during 1949 was attained
by September, and all of the quantities needed in each province were distributed
during November.
At present, Dr Kim Chong-hui, director of the National Livestock Health Re-
search Center, and Kim Chong-hwa, director, of its Pathology Department, are jointly
engaged in research on the processing of "ka-t'o-hwa-tok" (domestic rabbit chemi-
cal poison), fc-hemical vaccine for tularemia. Kim Yon-sik, director of its Chem-
ical Research Department, and Chang Chae-sun, director of its Bacteriology Depart-
ment, have made notable accomplishments in the research for improvement of quality
of mallein and "pi-cho-kyun-aek" (non-millet bacterial fluid) for the protection
of the health of the military horse..,
The National Livestock Health Research Center expects to expand its research
facilities during 1950 with construction of additional buildings.
