About

Takahiro Natori is a researcher focused on precision livestock farming, with particular expertise in applying information and communication technology (ICT) to dairy cattle management. His work addresses critical challenges in Japanese dairy farming, including low milk production and fertility rates, by developing automated monitoring systems for grazing cattle. Natori’s major contributions include the creation of activity-collecting systems that enable remote, human-free tracking of cattle behavior in vast pasturelands—a practical solution to labor shortages and management inefficiencies. His most-cited paper, “Study of Activity Collecting System for Grazing Cattle” (2019, 5 citations), and its follow-up work (2021, 4 citations) demonstrate his pioneering role in integrating sensors and ICT into traditional grazing operations. Though his citation counts are modest, Natori’s research is highly relevant to the growing field of smart agriculture, where his systems have the potential to improve animal welfare and farm profitability. His work represents an important step toward sustainable, data-driven livestock management in Japan and beyond.
