DairySmart
DairySmart offers a diagnostic system for mastitis testing in cows, utilizing microbiological culturing to manage the condition and combat antibiotic resistance. Their technology includes a patent-pending inflow sampling tool, RFID milk sampling linked to EID tags, and AI-powered digital imaging for rapid analysis. Partnering with a certified laboratory, they provide results via an online app within 48 hours, identifying specific pathogens to guide antibiotic and teat sealant use. DairySmart claims their approach leads to less antibiotic use (45% less Dry Cow Therapy compared to the SCC algorithm) with non-inferior outcomes in subsequent lactations, thus increasing farmer confidence. They aim to provide mass-scale on-farm diagnostic testing for efficient dry-off procedures. DairySmart won the 2023 Innovation title at the National Primary Industry Awards.
