Joint research with universities conducted during the Landmaster era
The research and development at NEXT SCIENCE did not begin in 2025 when we changed our company name.
Ever since our days as Landmaster Co., Ltd., we have been committed not only to manufacturing products but also to researching the materials themselves to verify what actually happens on a fundamental level.
One such example is Asai Organic Germanium.
We conducted research in collaboration with researchers from the Nippon Veterinary and Life Science University, and on September 21, 2023, we co-presented our findings at the "2023 Autumn Meeting of the Japan Poultry Science Association" held at Obihiro University of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine.
Research presented at the Japan Poultry Science Association
The presentation number was II-15.
The title was "Effect of in ovo administration of Asai Organic Germanium on the immune function and fatty acid oxidation capacity of broilers at hatching."
The presenters were Yoshiyuki Ota (Nippon Veterinary and Life Science University), Toshihisa Kanamitsu (Landmaster), Etsuko Hasegawa (Nippon Veterinary and Life Science University), and Junichi Shiraishi (Nippon Veterinary and Life Science University).
In the official lecture index of the Japan Poultry Science Association, Toshihisa Kanamitsu is also listed as being affiliated with "Landmaster."
What is in ovo?
In ovo is a research method that involves administering substances into eggs before they hatch to examine what changes occur subsequently.
In this study, we targeted broilers to investigate how the in ovo administration of Asai Organic Germanium affects their immune function and fatty acid oxidation capacity at the time of hatching.
What is important here is not to exaggerate the significance of this research.
The fact that we presented at an academic conference does not mean that everything about Asai Organic Germanium has been "proven." Furthermore, this study was conducted on broilers and does not indicate effects on humans or the efficacy of any specific products currently on the market.
It is necessary to distinguish between what was studied and the scope of what was discovered.
Not relying on our own judgment alone
This is what we value most.
We do not stop at simply thinking "this seems good." We do not decide on the answers by ourselves. If necessary, we investigate together with those who specialize in that field. We share the results externally and present them at academic conferences where they are reviewed by third parties.
This takes much more time than just gathering information that suits our needs. However, that is the kind of research NEXT SCIENCE wants to pursue.
From Landmaster to NEXT SCIENCE. While the technologies we handle and the subjects of our research have expanded, the process of actually testing and verifying before moving forward remains unchanged.
