Our take
In recent years, the public perception towards meat and milk production has turned sour due to the negative environmental impacts. With many consumers now turning to plant-based alternatives, the livestock industry needs a solution that will make substantial progress on lessening harm towards the planet in order to drive demands up.
Taking on this challenge is Vytelle, a precision livestock company that is rethinking how cattle producers worldwide optimize their herds by helping improve mateing and reproduction decisions. Through the company's integrated technology platform, generations of genetic gains can be sped up to just a few years, allowing producers to sustainably deliver more protein and help drive meat and milk to stay as a competitive food choice for the future generation.
Vytelle is the fastest-growing advanced reproduction company and is easily accessible to more than 50% of the US herd. Having opened five labs in less than a year, the company has beat expectations it had initiated for a five-year plan. This success, along with the financial support of investors has put Vytelle in a prime position, indicating there is a strong interest in its products and services, and plans to further expand its operations onto a global scale.
