Four Pillars of Contribution
Reducing Environmental Impact
Methane Emission Considerations
In research related to feed and livestock management, the relationship between ruminant fermentation processes and environmental impact is being examined.
Groundwater Protection
Material use in manure treatment is being studied with consideration for water quality and groundwater protection.
Odor and Air Quality Management
Material applications focused on odor control are being explored in manure and compost management settings.
Promoting Circular Agriculture
By utilizing rice husks that would otherwise be discarded, their effective use as agricultural residues is being examined as part of resource circulation and environmentally conscious farming models.
Animal Health and Productivity Research
- Livestock Management Research Topics
-
In the field of livestock management and nutrition, relationships between various components and animal conditions are being studied.
- Digestion and Fermentation Studies
-
Material characteristics are attracting attention as part of research into digestion and fermentation processes in ruminant animals.
- Milk Production Research
-
Studies related to milk production and nutritional management are being conducted.
- Reproductive Management Research
-
The relationship between reproductive management and nutritional balance is also being examined as a research topic.
Economic Perspectives
- Feed Efficiency and Cost Optimization
-
Efforts are underway to explore cost optimization through improved feed design and livestock management practices.
- Enhancing Compost Value
-
Initiatives aimed at increasing the added value of compost are being examined.
- Reducing Waste-Related Costs
-
By treating rice husks as a resource rather than waste, there is potential to reduce disposal costs and explore additional value creation.
- Exploring Environmentally Conscious Livestock Models
-
Concepts such as “low-methane dairy products” or “environmentally conscious cheese” are being discussed as potential approaches to enhance brand value.
Social and International Contributions
- Alignment with the SDGs
-
These efforts are positioned as initiatives aligned with the principles of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
- Exploring Environmental Value Assessment
-
If carbon fixation or methane reduction effects can be quantified, future approaches to environmental value evaluation are being discussed.
- Collaboration with Asian Agriculture
-
By redirecting surplus rice husks from Japan and other parts of Asia into the dairy sector, potential collaboration between rice farming and livestock agriculture is being explored.
In the livestock and dairy sector, rice husk silica is being explored through four key perspectives:
- Environmental stewardship (methane considerations and groundwater protection)
- Animal health and dairy productivity research
- Economic value (cost optimization and value-added approaches)
- International recognition (SDGs alignment and future carbon value discussions)
Through these four pillars, rice husk silica represents one approach toward circular livestock farming that transforms waste into resources.
