Imagine playing a carefully curated Spotify playlist in your garden to actively repel harmful pests and insects from your plants. No pesticides. No residues. Simply good vibrations working hard to keep unwanted pests at bay while allowing beneficial ones to thrive. It’s a blend of nature and technology, creating a vibrant environment where plants can flourish while reducing the need for traditional pest control methods. This innovative vision is no longer a fantasy; it’s a reality brought to life by Biotremology; Dr Lloyd Stringer and Dr Bethan Shaw, supported by Commercialisation Manager Mick Riley - a team from The New Zealand Institute for Plant and Food Research Limited participating in the Sprout Accelerator Spring24 cohort.

Yesterday, we were welcomed onto Rob Neeley’s farm for the Herd-i On-Farm Demo Day! It was a fantastic opportunity to hear firsthand about Rob's experience with Herd-i. We explored the data, and demonstrated the technology in action, and the BBQ was a hit too. A big thanks to Rob and everyone who joined us! We’d also like to extend a special thank you to Bernard and Ingrid, our Area Sales Managers, for organizing the day and making it such a success. If you’d like to know more about how Herd-i can help you detect lameness early and achieve your herd’s reproductive performance targets, get in touch. #herd-I #onfarmdemoday #technologyinaction
