Presentations at the international conference and visits to the University of Alberta

From July 21 to July 25, 2024, I attended an international conference held in Calgary, Canada（Abstract and Program Information (asas.org)）. Each day was filled with valuable and enriching experiences. I had the opportunity to learn about various livestock research from around the world and engage in fruitful discussions.

As the only oral presenter from Japan, I felt a bit nervous, but my presentation went smoothly without any issues. I received positive feedback from many people. This experience has motivated me to dedicate myself even more to my research.

Next year’s conference will be held in California, and I am determined to participate.

After the conference, I visited the University of Alberta（University of Alberta (ualberta.ca). I toured various places, including the campus, laboratories, and farms, and was able to observe research sites abroad. The scale of these facilities was impressive.

Professor Ooba from the University of Alberta, as well as Cosmas, whom I met at the conference, guided me around the university, allowing me to see the deeper aspects of their research.

I plan to bring the knowledge I gained back to Japan and apply it to my research.
