私は本大学に赴任するまでの32年間、十勝NOSAIの職員として産業動物臨床一筋で働いてきました。そこで強く感じたのは「牛や馬たちに幸せな一生を送ってもらうためには、飼い主である農家さんの意識を変えなければならない」ということです。自分の飼っている牛や馬たちが、ちゃんと手を掛けてあげさえあげれば長生きし、生産性も上がり、結果的に自分に恩返ししてくれる、そんな意識を農家さんに芽生えさせることが、産業動物臨床家の重要な仕事だと思っています。そのためには獣医師と農家さんとの信頼関係が不可欠です。

皆さんが農家さんに信頼されるような獣医師になってくれることを応援します。

Self introduction

I'm from Kanagawa. I worked as a clinical vet on an industrial farm in Tokachi for 32 years before coming to this university. I hope to take advantage of that experience and to conduct research that addresses the needs of livestock farmers and industrial animal clinicians. I like motocross and fishing in streams and surf.

Introduction

At graduate school I studied surgically non-invasive methods for diagnosing bovine amyloidosis. Isoform analysis of serum amyloid A (SAA), which is a precursor of deposited amyloid A protein, was found to be an effective diagnostic tool. While working as a vet at the National Agricultural Insurance Association, I studied a nephrotic syndrome in cattle in which there's no amyloid deposition, and I conducted epidemiological surveys of infectious diseases at dairy-cow care and nursery facilities and supplement supply tests to boost calf productivity. I've only just come to this university, so comprehensive research on these hasn't been conducted yet. Now I'm promoting research on digital dermatitis in dairy cattle.
