RX Japan Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo, President & CEO: Takeshi Tanaka) will hold the '4th Kyushu Livestock Equipment EXPO' (within the '4th Kyushu Agriculture WEEK') at Grand Messe Kumamoto for three days from May 27 (Wed) to 29 (Fri), 2026.
Kyushu has driven Japan's livestock industry, including broilers (chicken), dairy farming (dairy cows), beef cattle, and pigs. While it is a world-class 'livestock kingdom,' the challenges threatening livestock management have diversified and become more complex year by year, including severe labor shortages, incessant disease risks, and decreased livestock productivity due to extreme heat. Therefore, to continue livestock management, the importance of a thorough management system and capital investment from peacetime is once again attracting attention.
The 'Kyushu Livestock Equipment EXPO' is a specialized exhibition focused on the livestock sector, held within Kyushu Agriculture WEEK. Products and services corresponding to a wide range of issues faced by livestock sites, from disease prevention and wildlife damage countermeasures to labor saving, will gather in one place.
■ Immunity Improvement & Disease Prevention Products
Carbonated Hypochlorous Water Spray System for Livestock (Chickens/Pigs/Cows)
Carbonated hypochlorous water exerts excellent effects in sterilizing and washing eggs and vegetables. By utilizing this characteristic and spraying it in livestock barns and compost sheds, effects such as sterilization, deodorization, and temperature/humidity adjustment can be expected. It quickly decomposes and inactivates various bacteria and viruses that cause infectious diseases. [Exhibitor: Ueki Corporation]
Black Koji for Feed (SUPER TOMOKO-R)
This is a black koji for feed, bred for monogastric animals.
Features: Unprecedented weight gain / eggshell thickness improvement effect by suppressing muscle breakdown / disease and stress resistance improvement by enhancing antioxidant capacity / improvement of immune function and optimal distribution of nutrition by putting immune functions in the right places, etc. [Exhibitor: Kyuden Sangyo Co., Ltd.]
Thermal Mat for Livestock (Butatane Mat)
A heating mat developed to warm the bellies of piglets and calves. By using a graphene heating element, the entire mat warms up quickly and evenly. By setting the temperature with a dedicated controller, it automatically turns the power on and off, resulting in outstanding energy-saving effects. [Exhibitor: Sankei Sangyo Co., Ltd.]
■ Heat Stress Countermeasure Products
Soaker System
It directly sprays coarse water droplets onto the cows to soak them, and by blowing air from a fan onto them, it reliably lowers the cow's body temperature using the 'heat of vaporization' when the moisture dries. Operating costs are only water bills and a very small amount of electricity, enabling operation at low running costs. [Exhibitor: Lacto System Co., Ltd.]
Vertical Rooftop Outdoor Air Handling Unit
An air conditioner capable of handling heat stress in livestock barns. It adjusts the temperature and humidity inside the barn to support the creation of a comfortable environment for the animals. Compatible with an air volume range of 3840 to 13200 m³/h. Furthermore, low-noise operation reduces stress on the livestock as much as possible. [Exhibitor: Kimura Kohki Co., Ltd.]
■ Wildlife Damage Countermeasure Products
Wildlife Countermeasure Net
An animal-proof pink net made solely of polyethylene. Since there was a concern that it might be bitten through, this is a strong type of animal-proof pink net with a 0.25mm diameter stainless steel wire inserted into the polyethylene material. [Exhibitor: Momoi Rope Netting Co., Ltd.]
Automated Bird Control System (AI Bird Repeller)
An intelligent automated bird management system designed for modern agricultural environments utilizing the latest technology. By combining real-time AI monitoring technology with high-precision laser deterrent functions, it realizes 24-hour bird control measures while automatically responding to bird behavior. [Exhibitor: Sean and Stephen Corporation]
■ Special Project: Livestock Forum
A forum will be held to help solve livestock issues from disease prevention to wildlife damage countermeasures.
