We are a Scottish company—can you tell? 😉

Our founders, Ewen Wardman and Jamie Pugh, suited up in true Scottish style for last week’s 2025 Scotland’s Life Sciences Awards, where we celebrated a double win! 🎊

🏆 Global Export Impact Award
🏆 Animal Health, Agritech & Aquaculture Award

This recognition highlights our commitment to transforming agriculture through innovation. At iLivestock, we’re proud to provide affordable, accessible technology that supports farmers worldwide. With over 570 million farms globally—90% of them family-run—our platform helps sustain the backbone of the world’s food supply.

Combining software with hardware, we ensure farmers of all sizes can track, manage, and grow their businesses efficiently.

A huge thank you to our team, partners, and customers for being part of this journey!

The awards were proudly presented by Iseabail Mactaggart from the Department for Business and Trade and Elaine Jamieson of Highlands and Islands Enterprise. British comedian Paul Sinha hosted the evening.

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!”

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.”

Duradiamond Software, trading as the livestock management platform, iLivestock, has received a significant investment to commercialise its offering and help more farmers access affordable monitoring technology.

Ewen Wardman, iLivestock CEO, says the business, which is already supporting beef and sheep farmers in the UK, South Africa and Argentina, has secured £1.15 million from Kelvin Capital and Scottish Enterprise to scale up its offering at pace.

“The investment has allowed us to introduce a national sales, support and back-office team, helping deliver our vision of providing high-quality modern technology with a traditional approach to customer service,” he says.

“We’re now the only company of our kind to offer a comprehensive hardware and software package on a unique subscription basis, backed with full on-farm set-up, ongoing customer support and no-quibble guarantees.”

Mr Wardman emphasises the company’s commitment to making a real difference to farmers by supporting a precision, data-driven approach to recording and analysis of farm operations.

“Our offering, which includes a new industry partnership with Rappa, integrates software, a weigh crate, tag reader and load bars, to deliver a fully integrated solution for farmers in the UK and across the globe.”

He adds: “We sought independent investors who share our vision to help secure a sustainable future for the agricultural sector.”

Susie Fisher, investment director at Kelvin Capital says:

“Our investment in iLivestock aligns perfectly with Kelvin Capital’s strategy of backing globally ambitious companies, that are driving innovation and creating transformative solutions within their sectors.

“We like that their affordable and integrated livestock management platform is accessible for farms of all sizes and is already supporting farmers globally to improve efficiencies and meet their objectives.”

Kerry Sharp, Scottish Enterprise director of entrepreneurship and investment says:

“Duradiamond Software is a great example of the kind of dynamic innovator we are so excited to invest in. The company’s iLivestock platform is really helping the farming industry adopt new innovations, and showing how two sectors can work together for wider benefit – not only for company and economic growth, but also for improved food security,” she adds.

“We’re proud to be investing in the iLivestock technology solution and look forward to seeing what the future holds for the company.”
