Livestock remote medical care service "Animalook" selected as one of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries' "Top 10 Agricultural Technology News of 2024"


SB Technology Corp.

SB Technology Corp. is pleased to announce that its livestock remote medical care service, "Animalook," has been selected as one of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries' "Top 10 Agricultural Technology News of 2024."

The "Top 10 Agricultural Technology News" is a list of the 10 agricultural technology news items that the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries evaluates each year's important developments and innovations in agricultural technology, and selects 10 results that are considered to be particularly excellent in content and of great social interest. The selection is based on a vote by members of the Agricultural Technology Club.

"Animalook" is a service that was released on April 1, 2024, that allows veterinarians to make video calls and schedule and manage consultations, which are necessary when conducting remote medical examinations. Remote medical examinations are expected to alleviate the shortage of veterinarians for industrial animals that are often moved long distances, minimize the entry of outside parties into farms, and curb the spread of the risk of infection. As a service that contributes to the efficiency of veterinarians' work, it is currently being used in Hokkaido, Okinawa, and other areas.
We will continue to promote remote medical care through the provision of Animalook and contribute to the development of the agricultural sector.
