In an era where agricultural sustainability and livestock health monitoring have become increasingly critical and intertwined, Agscent<\/a> has emerged as a pioneer in developing cutting-edge sensing technology. The company\u2019s innovative dual approach \u2013 combining breath analysis and methane detection \u2013 offers farmers and agricultural businesses powerful new tools for optimising operations and improving animal welfare.<\/p>\n Dr Bronwyn Darlington, Agscent Founder, said: \u201cOur goal is to transform the way we monitor and manage livestock health and environmental impact.<\/p>\n \u201cBy combining breath analysis with methane sensing, we\u2019re providing farmers with unprecedented insights into their operations.\u201d<\/p>\n Dr Bronwyn Darlington started Agscent to leverage cutting-edge technologies developed for space, medicine, and mining combined with artificial intelligence (AI) to develop solutions that address some of farming\u2019s most pressing challenges. An approach that is reflected through Agscent\u2019s growing team that combines diverse skills span engineering, agricultural science, data analytics, communications, and technology development. This multidisciplinary team has been instrumental in transforming NASA-derived technology into groundbreaking agricultural solutions.<\/p>\n Dr Darlington explained: \u201cWe\u2019ve taken technology designed to support missions to Mars and adapted it to improve life on Earth.<\/p>\n \u201cThe precision and reliability of NASA\u2019s sensing technology provided an ideal foundation for developing our agricultural monitoring systems.\u201d<\/p>\n What sets Agscent apart is their revolutionary breath analysis technology, which enables early detection of health issues in livestock through non-invasive breath sampling<\/a>. The system can detect subtle changes in breath compounds that may indicate the onset of diseases or metabolic issues before visible symptoms appear. This early warning system allows farmers to intervene promptly, potentially preventing costly health complications and improving overall herd management.<\/p>\n The breath analysis technology works by capturing and analysing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) present in animal breath. Using carbon-nanotube-based sensors coupled with machine learning algorithms, the system can identify specific biomarkers associated with various health conditions. This innovative approach represents a significant advancement over traditional health monitoring methods, which often rely on visible symptoms or invasive testing.<\/p>\nBreakthrough in breath analysis<\/h3>\n
