In this study, first of all, we summarized the installation of CBS facilities in Japan, and select the optimum facilities. And we organize the outline and characteristics of these CBS’s.

The results of the analysis lead to the conclusions that common tasks of CBS are difficulties of applying diversification of support activities due to the change of livestock farmers and increase of the risk about breeding from wet child calf, and resource allocation between present problems and medium to long term problems in regional livestock activities.
