My background
Understanding the animal.
Improving the system.
José is a veterinarian and animal scientist specialising in rumen physiology, precision livestock technologies and biological control systems for dairy production.
His work brings together ruminant physiology, fermentation biochemistry, data science, farm management and sensor development.
At RumenAI, he is translating this scientific foundation into technology designed to help prevent disease, improve feed efficiency and support more sustainable livestock farming.
The science behind the ambition
What can the rumen tell us
about keeping animals healthy?
José’s research centres on dissolved carbon dioxide (dCO₂) and its role in ruminal fermentation, animal health and methane dynamics.
He developed a scientific framework placing dCO₂ at the centre of these relationships. That work informs RumenAI’s approach to understanding rumen biology and developing tools for disease prevention.

Science with a practical purpose.
RumenAI is developing an in-rumen sensing platform that combines ATR-IR spectroscopy with AI to bring a deeper understanding of fermentation into farm management.
Understand biology
Connect fermentation processes with animal health, nutrition and environmental performance.
Develop the technology
Translate scientific knowledge into precision sensing and useful biological insights.
Support prevention
Help farmers maintain healthier animals and use feed and resources more efficiently.
Let’s move better farming forward.
