Introducing Livestock Protect: The App Combating Avian Flu Disruptions
As avian flu (HPAI) continues to wreak havoc on the poultry industry, Livetec Systems, a UK-based livestock protection provider, has rolled out an innovative solution – Livestock Protect. This cutting-edge app offers real-time data on the geographical spread of the virus, empowering poultry integrators, packers, and producers to stay ahead of the disease threats that have been crippling the sector.
Livetec’s co-founder and group technical director, Julian Sparrey, emphasized the importance of Livestock Protect in strengthening the resilience of the poultry supply chain. Sparrey noted, “HPAI poses a significant threat not only to individual farms but to the entire supply chain, causing disruptions that impact availability, prices, and business operations across all levels of the sector.”
Livestock Protect is designed as an advanced digital biosecurity tool that can be easily deployed across the industry. The app’s AI-powered mapping provides instant visibility of disease outbreaks, enabling users to proactively protect their flocks and manage risks more effectively.
Sparrey further explained, “Livestock Protect complements existing processes, offering greater visibility, consistency, and control for businesses of all sizes.” The app is available in three different packages tailored to the size of the operation and has already gained traction among large-scale integrators.
While initially focused on the poultry sector, Livestock Protect has the potential to be extended for use across other livestock sectors, offering a comprehensive biosecurity solution for the entire industry.
