This study researched the farming succession conditions and intentions of 607 livestock managers. As a research result, the livestock managers’ average age was 59 years and the estimated period of time for continued livestock raising beyond the present time was 10.7 years. The percentage of managers with a farming successor was 41.2%. The percentage of responses claiming that ‘Management will stop with my generation’ was 10.7% of the farms that do not have a farming successor (58.8%). The percentage of responses claiming that they will ‘Lease or transfer to others’ was 18.0% and those claiming ‘No existing plan’ was 30.1%. In regards to identifying prior measures that are necessary for achieving better succession, 25.2% of the respondents answered ‘Successor’s train or support (Technical education)’. The problems (rated with a 5 point scale) identified during succession processing were ‘Livestock Regulation’ (3.89 points) and ‘Funding’ (3.59 points). The significance of this study was the gathering of basic information on establishing measures to support livestock farming succession. Human training and technical education are needed to maintain continuous succession of family farming.
