Introduction

I have made studies of equine reproduction, and blood biochemistry of equine and bovine, throughout the undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. For two years now, I have been involved at medical practice at the veterinary medical center of the university, especially in surgical treatment of equine and bovine.
I have found there are concerns and issues over anesthesia and treatment after surgery of draft horses.
Our university is located in Obihiro city where is well known as the only place holds the “Ban-ei” draft horse race and also the breeding ground of draft horses and cows.
By deepening the study and I am working on to establish safe anesthesia methods and after-surgery treatment to save more horses and cows further.

List of current research topics

  • Study on morbidity of orthopedics disease and physiological blood biochemistry features in draft horses
  • Study about influences of inhalation anesthesia on draft horses and to establish safe safe anesthesia methods
