Investment that keeps on giving
Healthier cows do mean better income. Most of our farms see payback within the first months and long-term returns that can exceed the initial investment several times over.
More value, through quality
Farms using EpiHerd see statistically significant increases in milk yield, with leading herds achieving up to 22% higher production, but also an increase in milk fat by 6%, and milk protein by 5%.
For healthier herd
Earlier, more targeted actions mean fewer emergency vet call-outs, less labour-intensive intervention and healthier cows overall. More resilient cows stay productive longer, breed better and require fewer inputs.
Linking Biology to Performance
Our scientists compare gene expression in the herd’s best and worst performing cows. Thousands of genes are identified with different activity levels, many of which are known, from peer-reviewed research, to be linked to milk yield, fertility, feed efficiency, inflammation (including mastitis), metabolism and longevity.
To understand what this means in practical terms, we use gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) to identify more than 22,000 biological pathways most affected, such as energy metabolism, stress levels or immune function.
We are here to make a change
We are the world's first and only company specializing in extensive RNA data analysis of farm animals, and EpiHerd is the platform we built to deliver it.
We exists to make sure that every dairy farmer in the world has access to honest biological data that tells how to turn the data into healthier, more productive animals.
