🎥 Throwback to the 2023 Animal AgTech Innovation Summit - what an event! As you watch the clip, you might spot us in the background, engaging with innovators and thought leaders at our start-up showcase booth. The summit was not just a platform for us; it was a catalyst for growth, connection, and learning.
🤝 The connections we made there have been invaluable. We've since collaborated with industry leaders, integrating their insights with our technology to elevate livestock traceability to new heights. Our mission to revolutionize livestock tracking and monitoring is becoming a tangible reality, thanks to these partnerships.
🌱 But we didn't stop there. Since the summit, we've made leaps in integrating AI, biometrics, and blockchain networks, enhancing our system's efficiency and accuracy. This progress reflects our commitment to continuous innovation, ensuring we stay ahead in a rapidly evolving industry.
🔍 Our focus remains clear: providing superior traceability solutions that are not only effective but also add value at every point of the livestock production chain. We're solving real-world problems for producers, driven by our deep understanding of the complexities within the livestock industry.
💡 As we reflect on the journey since the summit, it's evident that PrüvIT is not just part of the change; we're leading it. We're more than just an agtech company; we're a team of visionaries, innovators, and problem-solvers, dedicated to making a difference in the livestock industry.
🤲 Join us on this exciting journey. Let's shape the future of livestock management together!

MEET THE PRESENTERS 🐑📊
We are pleased to announce Dr Jo Newton, as a speaker at our upcoming virtual forum. Jo is the President of the AAAS - Australian Association of Animal Sciences Vic/Tas branch and currently works as a Research Scientist for Agriculture Victoria where she uses a multi-disciplinary approach in developing and valuing decision support tools that enable more informed breeding and management decisions on-farm.
Dr Newton said that reducing methane emissions associated with livestock production is a priority area for Australian agriculture, requiring collaboration across research disciplines and with industry stakeholders.
“As the national membership organisation for people involved in Animal Science, the Australian Association of Animal Sciences (AAAS) aims to create opportunities for learning, discussion and idea exchange. AAAS Vic and Tas branch welcomes the opportunity to collaborate with TIA on this event – sharing the latest insights into challenges and potential solutions associated with reducing methane emissions from livestock production.”

I've had several conversations this past week with a variety of companies who are developing technology capable of individual animal biometrics and identification. Most of these groups have had success in other industries outside beef production, (companion animals and pasture raised dairy cattle to name a few) but recognize, due to it's sheer market size, that beef cattle are a sector they want to play in.
It seems to me there are two differing schools of thought on how to go about integrating more technology into beef cattle production:
1) Bring down the technology costs such that the economics of adoption for individual beef cattle make sense for a producer in this thin-margin business.
OR
2) Forget about individual animal ID in cattle all together, especially feedlot cattle, and just improve efficiency by managing them at the pen-level or their feed bunks.
I realize there are vast differences between grass-fed/grain finished AND grass-fed/grass-finished cattle and what works in one might never work in another. This point above is mostly centered around grass-fed/grain-finished or feedlot animals.
I'm highly curious at to what others in my network think about this paradoxical "fork in the road".
1) Does it exist?
2) Are these the types of decisions being made at feedlots when discussing agtech adoption?
3) Inside the WeWork (or maybe not anymore) start-up spaces, are other animal agtech companies weighing this decision to monitor the animals individually or as more of a unit?
Let the discussion begin!

HerdDogg, Inc. Closes on $6M Series A4 for its “Fitbit for Cows”
Intensive cattle systems are efficient at producing high volumes of meat, but they carry high risks for illness and mortality for the cattle. However, transitioning to a high-welfare, low-antibiotic model calls for an entirely new approach.
Wearable livestock technology is revolutionizing the livestock industry by offering innovative solutions that enhance productivity, improve animal health, and streamline farm management.
