How we work
OPTIfarm makes real-time recommendations to clients, tailoring its service to help overcome specific challenges on farms.
This can include Feed Conversion Ratios, mortality, declining feed and water consumption or optimising environmental conditions. We deliver our service using pictures, videos, video and voice calls, sensors, Eyenamics technology, vet reports, factory kill information and parent flock data.
We help make changes when they are needed – any time, day or night. Using humans and software combined we evaluate all the farm information required for our clients. This enables our team to focus not only on broad whole farm appraisals but also on specific targeted areas requiring improvement.
