Animal Well-Being & Nutrition
Solutions for a holistic future with non invasive methods
We believe in a holistic approach to animal health that uses non-invasive methods. Our focus is on treating the whole animal by considering its nutrition, welfare, and environment. By using innovative, non-invasive techniques, we can monitor and manage health without disrupting the animal’s natural behavior. This way, we help ensure the best possible health and performance outcomes for your animal. Visit our app here Agribiome.

Animal Health as we understand it...
Animal health is vital not only for the animals but also for the ecosystems and communities they inhabit. It involves how well animals adapt and thrive, supported by their physiological, behavioral, and emotional responses.
A key factor in animal health is the microbiome, which modulates the immune system and maintains internal balance. Disruptions in the microbiome can increase disease susceptibility and impair recovery, leading to:
- Slower growth
- Elevated metabolic demands
- Behavioral changes steming from discomfort or illness
When animals experience stress, it can lead to several negative outcomes, including weakened immune function, increased disease risk, reduced appetite, and overall decreased productivity. These issues not only compromise the well-being of the animals but also adversely affect farm efficiency, pet health, and their overall quality of life.
As animals undergo significant physiological and behavioral changes to adapt to their surroundings, stress can exacerbate these adaptations, making it more challenging for them to cope. Additionally, stress can diminish the diversity of microbial species in the gut. A diverse microbiome is generally more resilient and effective at maintaining health; therefore, reduced diversity can increase an animal’s susceptibility to diseases and digestive issues
Nutrition plays a vital role in animal welfare and performance, with targeted nutritional strategies having a significant impact on their overall health and productivity. A well-balanced diet supports a diverse and stable microbiome, which in turn enhances digestion and nutrient absorption. This improves immune function, reduces susceptibility to disease, and promotes healthier growth and productivity. By understanding and optimizing the link between diet and microbiome through precise feeding strategies, we can raise healthier animals and promote more sustainable farming practices
The neurological, endocrine, and immunological systems are involved in a two-way communication network that is known as the gut-brain axis, although its exact nature is yet unknown. According to research, the microbiome is important to this process and can affect how an animal reacts under stress. Stress can change the microbiota,leading to imbalances that contribute to stress-related behaviors such as anxiety and depression.
Animal Health Starts with a Balanced Microbiome
Agribiome is transforming animal health management by blending cutting-edge technology with precise microbiome analysis. By integrating microbiome data and nutritional insights, our platform delivers accurate, real-time insights in a holistic, painless, and non-invasive way. This means better and quicker results for the animals you care about, all while simplifying the process for you.
Building Trust Together for Healthier, More Productive Animals
We simplify microbial analysis by focusing on clearly defined groups and endpoints.
Group 1: Butyrate and SCFA Producers. Butyrate-producing genera are crucial for maintaining gut integrity and reducing inflammation, which supports better digestion and nutrient absorption.
Group 2: Fermenters and Fiber Degraders. These genera break down complex carbohydrates and fibers, aiding in nutrient absorption and helping maintain a balanced gut microbiota to prevent harmful bacteria overgrowth.
Group 3: Pathogen Inhibitors and Miscellaneous Roles. This group consists of genera that inhibit pathogens, contribute to overall gut health, or have various other important functions in the gut ecosystem.
Our Platform Helps Manage:
Nutritional Needs
Assesses the effects of diet on gut microbiome composition and offers personalized nutrition recommendations to boost well-being and enhance physical performance.
Performance Metrics
Correlates key microbial biomarkers with critical performance indicators such as feed conversion ratio (FCR), weight gain, and feed intake, optimizing growth and productivity.
Health Parameters
Monitors and integrates data on health conditions, including fecal consistency, mastitis, and ketosis, to manage and improve overall animal health.
Behavioral Insights
Analyzes behavioral observations to identify changes that may reflect underlying health or nutritional issues.
AI-Driven Microbiome Analysis
We are committed to a preventive approach, aiming to proactively support animal health and wellbeing. By routinely screening the gut microbiome of animals, our time-based platform detects deviations in microbial health. Changes in microbial diversity can serve as a proxy for potential issues such as pathogenic or parasitic infections, as both can impact these communities. With this early detection system, health concerns can be effectively managed, eliminating more serious issues from developing and ensuring that animals maintain optimal performance and productivity.
How Microbiome testing works
Sample Collection
We start by capturing images of fecal samples to gain a thorough understanding of the microbial landscape.
Advanced Algorithms
Our sophisticated algorithms analyze the data to uncover key patterns and insights about the microbiome.
Ongoing Enhancements
We continuously update our models with the latest data and research to improve accuracy and expand our platform's capabilities.
