Breath sensors for pre-symptomatic disease detection
We are developing a non-invasive breath sensor for cows, for the early detection of illnesses well before observable symptoms. With automated and continuous monitoring, this would enable timely and precise feed adjustments by farmers to stop sickness progression. The technology is derived from extremely sensitive laser-based techniques enabling the specific detection of disease biomarkers.
These novel sensors will be instrumental in meeting the global challenge of feeding the increasing human population. Our technology will help farmers attain peak productivity and efficiency, while minimizing environmental emissions. Importantly, this will also help ensure a better quality of life for farm animals.
