part of Japan. This facility is
primarily used for educational training and research, and also for the benefit
of the health and welfare of our university staff and students. At this animal
farm, veterinary students in the second year carry out practical training every
summer. And students of the department of Animal Science also use it on various
occasions such as the orientation for freshmen and freshwomen, rural farm surveys,
