Japan has a well-established agricultural sector, which includes the production of livestock such as cattle, poultry, swine, and dairy animals. These animals are crucial for the production of meat, dairy, and eggs, which are staple components of the Japanese diet. Ensuring a stable and safe food supply is a top priority for Japan.

Regular physical health monitoring, including wellness check-ups and vaccinations, is essential for maintaining the health and well-being of pets and production animals. Japan's population includes a significant number of elderly individuals who have pets. Older pets often require more frequent physical health monitoring to address age-related health issues. The adoption of digital radiography and ultrasound technology has become commonplace in veterinary practises. Digital images can be quickly captured, stored, and shared, allowing for more efficient diagnoses and collaboration with specialists if needed.
