Livestock management platform receives innovation award

iLivestock’s revolutionary integrated management platform has been awarded a Royal Highland Show silver award recognising technical innovation that advances efficient farming practices.

The iLivestock platform offers a simple, affordable and integrated package of advanced on-farm software, hardware and a digital support hub, for sheep and cattle monitoring.

Ewen Wardman, CEO and co-founder of iLivestock, has big ambitions for the company; to disrupt the livestock monitoring market and encourage farmers to think differently about animal performance.

“Our platform allows farmers to adopt a precision, data-driven approach, making the recording and analysis of farm operations and livestock productivity easy and accessible,” he says.

“For years, the UK sheep and beef sector has been underrepresented by agri-tech advancements, with most solutions geared towards ‘large scale’ enterprises, leaving the majority of farms behind.”

In the current climate, this has to change. The iLivestock platform aims to address the challenge head-on to support these farms in driving profits by managing what they can monitor.

“We wanted to provide an affordable, easy-to-use precision livestock technology that will help farmers monitor and improve efficiency and therefore profitability,” says Mr Wardman.

“iLivestock doesn’t just offer products; as a company, we’re committed to the future of farming and aim to ensure every farmer has the tools to thrive in an increasingly competitive world focused on sustainability,” adds Mr Wardman.
