Our research subjects are as follows: development of laboratory animals, dermatology, plastic surgery, clinical nutrition, clinical comparative medicine, decontamination methods, laboratory animal technology and relief activities of animals. We have been investigating these subjects with an emphasis on application and practicality.
Laboratory animal science and laboratory animal medicine are interdisciplinary in learning and applying other veterinary technical knowledge. Morphology, clinical laboratory medicine microbiology and image diagnosis are essential for understanding the subjects to be described later. Our animal experiments contain companion animals, livestock and exhibition animals, as well as laboratory animals. For the highly reproducible experiments, it is important to use well-characterized and quality-proofed animals. For this purpose, it is necessary to provide air condition, care for animal health, and prevention of infectious diseases. The animal care and use program at the Advanced Research Center for Laboratory Animal Science in Yamaguchi University has been accredited by AAALAC International since 2018.
