The lab runs a university farm that raises horses, cattle, pigs, and goats while carrying out livestock production and on-farm demonstration research.
AboutAbout the lab
A working livestock farm as a place for learning and research
The Animal Resource Science Center, affiliated with the Graduate School of Agricultural and Life Sciences at the University of Tokyo, breeds strains of production animals and laboratory animal resources and manages their husbandry.
It produces and raises livestock, mainly horses, cattle, pigs, and goats, and also grows the forage crops used as their feed.
It is a place where students of veterinary medicine and applied animal science gain hands-on experience in production animal clinical medicine and livestock hygiene.
It also conducts demonstration research on maintaining the health of production animals, evaluating the safety of livestock products, and animal-assisted therapy.

ResearchResearch themes
The farm is a practical training site for students of veterinary medicine and applied animal science, and also a site for demonstration research using livestock. It handles strain breeding and husbandry of production animals and laboratory animal resources, and produces forage crops.
*Illustrative imageStrain Breeding and Husbandry of Livestock
The lab produces and raises livestock, mainly horses, cattle, pigs, and goats. For production animals and laboratory animal resources, it works on methods for breeding while maintaining strains, as well as on day-to-day husbandry.
*Illustrative imageForage Crop Production
The forage crops that feed the farm's livestock are grown in the lab's own fields. The work also includes cutting Italian ryegrass and preserving it as haylage.
*Illustrative imageProduction Animal Health and Livestock Product Safety
The lab conducts on-farm demonstration research on maintaining the health of production animals, and on evaluating the safety of livestock products and environmental conservation. The farm also serves as a place where production animal clinical medicine and livestock hygiene can be learned and verified in practice.
*Illustrative imageDemonstration Research on Animal-Assisted Therapy
Animal-assisted therapy is one of the demonstration studies the lab carries out using animals. Through such activities, the lab aims to be an animal farm that is open to society.
MembersFaculty
The members of the farm consist of faculty members, technical staff, technical assistants, administrative staff, administrative assistants, and graduate students.As of 2026
