Department of Animal Resource Science

No more applications will be accepted from the 2025 entrance examination.

Practical study of the birth of animal life, the relationship between humans and animals, and the relationship between food and health.

Animals have long been used as livestock to enrich people's lives, and in this way, they can be thought of as animal resources. In this field, students learn the latest and best animal resource science, such as the development of technologies to maximize the functions and capabilities of animal resources; the development of breeding methods to allow animals to live comfortably; technologies to maintain the relationship between humans, animals, and the society that surrounds them; and approaches to the development of functional foods that start at the cellular and molecular level.

Areas of Study

A Well-Rounded Curriculum in the Fields of Animal Science and Bioscience

After acquiring basic skills and knowledge, such as the concept of animal welfare and an understanding of breeding management techniques, students can study a wide range of topics in the animal science field: animal welfare; animal behavior; animal therapy, or the relationship between animals and people; bioscience, including cellular engineering; animal microorganisms; animal feed science, including pet food; and the relationship between animal food and health.

Participate in Cutting-Edge Research Projects during Graduation Thesis Research

Students conduct research in a wide range of fields, including animal ecology and welfare, hormones and physiologically active substances in animals, fertilization and development, the relationship between microorganisms surrounding animals and human health, the safety and function of animal foods, and the development of pet foods. In addition, the research you conduct has the potential to contribute to society in the future. Students absorb a lot of knowledge and skills and are encouraged to take up new challenges.

Nurturing Specialists Who Will Support Society through Agriculture and Medicine

Through Kitasato University's collaborative education program in agriculture and medicine, students will develop a perspective that transcends the boundaries of current academic disciplines and will be able to take part in four crucial fields that are expected to play an important role in the future: food safety, assisted reproductive medicine, medical laboratory animals, and animal-assisted activities.

#DX(デジタルトランスフォーメーション)
デジタル技術を利用して、社会や技術を変革しより良いものに作りかえること。

#GX(グリーントランスフォーメーション)
