Vital Herd careers

Today, dairy and beef producers rely on infrequent herd observation to manage animal health and nutrition where 'ears down, head down' are first signs of issues. This approach only catches issues when they are already clinical and very hard and expensive to treat and reverse. As a result, the annual economic losses due to animal deaths and illness on dairy and beef operations are >$10 billion each year in the U.S. alone.

Vital Herd™ has developed a data-driven animal management solution that modernizes today's archaic approach, making dairy and beef production more sustainable. The Vital Herd™ solution leverages a patented bio-acoustics e-Pill sensor that is swallowed by each animal and stays in the stomach for the animal's life. While inside, the e-Pill sensor captures the animal's vital sign data and transmits it to the Vital Herd™ cloud platform for analysis. Now, each animal is individually managed with its own baseline and issues can be identified much earlier and more reliably.
