Heat stress refers to a condition where "heat" accumulates within fat cells and is not radiated away (latent heat), which is different from fever. Since fat is primarily made up of carbon (C), once heat accumulates, it does not radiate away. Animals can touch cold objects and dissipate heat through conduction (heat flows from high to low temperatures). However, if the visceral fat also reaches a state of latent heat, it becomes difficult to remove heat through conduction. External measures such as ventilation or misting are not very effective. *For more detailed information, please refer to the PDF. Feel free to contact us for further inquiries.*

If livestock producers can enhance their keen observational skills in detecting deficiencies in the body condition of their animals, which they have cultivated over the years, by incorporating thermal image analysis, they should be able to achieve more accurate health management. Therefore, on this website, we will introduce sample images provided by those who are already conducting thermal image analysis. Additionally, based on these thermal images, we will discuss improvement measures for health deficiencies that producers can implement on-site themselves. *For detailed content of the column, please refer to the PDF.

On the homepage of the Japan Hoof Trimming Association, it is stated, "Hoof trimmers are experts in cattle's feet. Their work contributes to improving productivity and preventing and treating diseases caused by hooves." This means that hoof trimmers must actively address hoof diseases, not just trim the hooves. The dairy and livestock industry is expected to become increasingly challenging in the future. Various efforts will be made in production settings to survive. In this context, the most important initiative is improving productivity, which is precisely about preventing hoof diseases. *For more details on the column, you can view it in the PDF.

What needs to be addressed in the fields of breeding, raising, and fattening right now is the temperature check of all animals (health management). To protect cows, calves, and introduced cattle with low immunity, daily temperature checks of all animals should be conducted. However, measuring the rectal temperature of all animals is time-consuming and labor-intensive, making it impractical. Our company can quickly and accurately check the temperature of 500 animals in one minute without capturing them. By using the highest sound tracking function, it is possible to detect slight fevers. [Features] - Quickly and accurately check the temperature of 500 animals in one minute without capturing them - Detect slight fevers using the highest sound tracking function *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

Thermography enables health management without relying on medication through the early detection of diseases. Deaths and accidents caused by illness are significant negative factors for management. We must engage in preventive medicine, reduce diseases, and build a profitable business. Furthermore, what is currently needed in the fields of breeding, raising, and fattening is how to overcome "calf weakness syndrome." [Overview] ■ If the selling price falls below the total cost of calf purchase, feed, and labor, it results in a loss equivalent to an accident. ■ We must engage in preventive medicine, reduce diseases, and build a profitable business. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

Our company provides "body condition management of livestock using thermography." We have already implemented and utilized this technology in over 300 livestock and dairy farms nationwide, and we are also collaborating with many research institutions, including animal health research institutes and veterinary universities, to develop utilization methods. Body condition management using thermography can improve the husbandry skills of employees and reduce losses. Please feel free to contact us when you need our services. [Overview] ■ The most basic application in production sites is monitoring for fever. ■ Body condition management using thermography can improve the husbandry skills of employees and reduce losses. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
