The opportunity

A hidden world.
A measurable impact.

Rumen fermentation shapes animal health, feed utilisation, and methane production. We’re developing a way to see these processes continuously—so better understanding can lead to better decisions.

01 /

Healthier animals

Identify fermentation changes associated with digestive disorders and prevent them.

02 /

Smarter feeding

Understand how animals respond to their diet and help improve the use of valuable feed resources.

03 /

A lighter footprint

Support feeding strategies aimed at reducing methane intensity alongside productive farming.

Inside the technology

From rumen signals
to practical insight.

Our bolus in development combines ATR-IR spectroscopy, complementary sensors, and AI-driven analysis.

01   Sense

Monitor dissolved gases and signals inside the rumen.

02   Understand

Interpret fermentation patterns and their changes over time.

03   Act

Develop decision support for feeding and herd management.
