iLivestock is delighted to announce that the iLivestock Platform has won the Technology Improvement Award at FIGAN 2025, the International Animal Production Show, held at Feria de Zaragoza. This prestigious accolade recognises the iLivestock platform as a comprehensive solution for farmers—combining farm software, reading, and weighing tools to highlight the value of data capture and demonstrate how to integrate and maximise its benefits on the farm.

This achievement has been made possible thanks to our exclusive partnership with Azasa, a leading supplier of livestock tags in Spain and the exclusive MSD partner in the region. With EID sheep tags becoming mandatory in Spain from July 2025, Azasa will be the exclusive distributor of iLivestock products in the country, further strengthening our presence in the European livestock sector.

This award marks iLivestock’s first international recognition, highlighting our commitment to revolutionising livestock management through cutting-edge technology.

Ewen Wardman, CEO & Co-Founder of iLivestock: “We extend our sincere thanks to Paco Lopez-Belmonte Coba for his invaluable support in Spain and to our partners at Azasa for their collaboration in bringing eWeigh and the iLivestock Platform to market.”

FIGAN is a leading event for livestock professionals, showcasing the latest innovations that improve efficiency, sustainability, and animal welfare.

ScotEID integration: Keeping your cattle records up to date just got easier

Info avatar
Shared by Info • March 06, 2025

iLivestock now integrates with ScotEID, Scotland’s livestock traceability system. Our users can now quickly import cattle records directly from the ScotEID database, bringing all relevant information directly into iLivestock.

The integration ensures only valid birth registrations are imported. When information is added or updated in ScotEID, iLivestock automatically compares it with existing records and highlights any inconsistencies. Users can quickly update multiple records at once, ensuring that missing or incorrect data in iLivestock is replaced with the correct details from ScotEID.

It’s a simple, time-saving way to keep cattle records up to date and in one place, giving our users more control over your livestock management.

Ewen Wardman, CEO & Co-Founder:

“We know this feature is a game-changer for our Scottish customers, and we’re excited to finally roll it out. A big thanks to our tech team for making this happen!”

New livestock ear tags set to lower cost of data capture

Info avatar
Shared by Info • November 25, 2024

Livestock management platform, iLivestock, has launched a new range of affordable sheep and cattle ear tags to bring down the cost of effective farm data capture.

The eTag range, developed in partnership with Allflex MSD, will offer guaranteed low price ear tags to the UK market.

Ewen Wardman, iLivestock CEO, says: “iLivestock subscribers will be able to access eTags for up to 25% less than the average market price, with no compromises on quality.

“For example, the average pair of sheep breeding tags cost around 99p, while ours will retail at just 79p, making substantial cost savings for a flock or herd, even when purchasing smaller numbers of tags.”

To mark the launch, the first 250 new subscribers to the iLivestock platform can choose a set of up to 200 sheep breeding tags or 100 cattle new run pairs. As an added bonus, every order will receive a free tag applicator.

Mr Wardman says launching the new tag range joins the dots in iLivestock’s comprehensive data collection and management package of software and hardware.

“We want to make it more affordable and accessible than ever for farmers to benefit from farm data use, to drive production gains at a time when margins are being squeezed tighter than ever,” he adds.

“While sheep ear tags are compulsory, all too often they’re only used for the bare minimum movement records, but when teamed with our solutions, they can be used for so much more.”

Helen Sheppard, identification support lead at Allflex MSD, says the eTag range will provide a unique identification for the data behind each animal, allowing farmers to manage their stock with precision.

She adds: “The collaboration with iLivestock is the perfect fit; we know their solutions will help farmers maximise the value of our tag technology, helping deliver returns on investment through enhanced productivity and management ease.”
