Optifarm services will reveal the most likely causes of on farm production issues by assessing and predicting the animals water intake every few minutes. As soon as drinking behaviours change Optifarm is able to link this to a likely cause in real time and inform via this App. Our continual assessment of water intake over previous days gives Optifarm the ability to predict water intake for the next few minutes. If drinking behaviours do not match the prediction Optifarm will investigate the cause, assess all other available data, and use this App to communicate findings and give access to in app tools allowing the animal carers to resolve the on farm issues in a timely manner. No hardware purchases are needed, the Optifarm service accepts any data that is connected to the internet, is free to join, free to add users, free to leave and you only pay for the precise services and tools used on the days you choose. Demonstration accounts can be created to explore the features prior to commitment and free trial periods can be discussed. Current in app tools include data reporting, user chat features, task management and real time language translation via a chat feature, you type English and if they want they see Spanish and vice versa. Suitable for all those connected to commercial poultry and pig companies from farming, processing, equipment suppliers, advisors, etc. No onboarding fees, no membership fees, no fixed subscriptions, no tied in periods, this App is the new way to engage in digital services for livestock farming.
