家畜は環境がよくない場合、発育や肥育に影響がでます。妊娠や出産も成立しなくなります。とくに、家畜は増殖によって、持続的な生産サイクルを回すことが重要になります。お母さんとなる母体家畜は、出産や授乳に大きなエネルギーやリスクを伴います。お母さん家畜の飼養環境や栄養生理学に合っているのでしょうか?
本研究室では、周産期の飼養環境に着目し、生まれた子畜のエピジェネティクスな遺伝子発現の変化、発生や将来の疾病に関する影響について、分子生物学および遺伝子工学の手法を用い分子メカニズムを解明します。

Introduction

I study of animal physiology of pig and sheep in Tokachi regions. The maternal nutrition and breeding environment is greatly effect to offspring's development in domestic animals. We found interesting phenotype depend on maternal nutrition in offspring. The aim of our study, we discover gene expression system and gene modification by epigenetics.

In the future, we would like to find common mechanisms between livestock and human, and we reveal the effect of maternal perinatal environment relate to their offspring's development.
