In Japan, chicken farming is the most prosperous stock farming. Actually, a quantity of picking eggs is the third best in the world. Most of beef and pork were imports, but dairy products are replete.
In Japan, there a little heading dogs. Mainly, they take lively parts in Hokkaido. Although using heading dogs is studied in Kyushu, there are not many heading dogs in Japan. I hope farmeres use them soon.
