Use better data to make fast, informed decisions on animal health.
Verax™ helps you detect the signs of nutritional deficiencies in your animals sooner through the use of blood biomarker testing and benchmarking data.
Proactive efforts to increase the well-being of your animals and boost efficiencies in your operations can also positively impact the environment.
Currently, visual assessments are the industry’s primary source of information for animal health and wellness. By capturing long-term data, Verax™ offers a new approach to assessing health and nutrition that allows you to move beyond what you see to quantitative, evidence-based decision-making.
Blood biomarkers are at the heart of our platform and they are the gold standard for early detection of hidden issues and diseases that can quickly spread if they go unchecked.
The science behind Verax™ is a collaboration between dsm-firmenich and InsideTracker. dsm-firmenich is a purpose-led, global, science-based company in nutrition, health and sustainable living. Precision nutrition is a key pillar in their animal nutrition and health strategy. dsm-firmenich launched Verax™ leveraging its many decades of science and nutrition expertise and partnered with InsideTracker, an established leader in evidence-based human precision nutrition based on biomarkers.
At Verax™, our goal is to put only the most relevant data into the hands of veterinarians, nutritionists and operations so they can accurately monitor and manage their livestock using our cloud-based animal management system.
Our revolutionary technology not only tracks blood biomarker data within a custom-built iPad application, but it analyzes the data using machine learning and provides you with insight into the inner workings of the animal in order to gain a deeper understanding of its health. In-app analysis and recommendations are benchmarked against industry data, for consistency and accuracy. Our partner InsideTracker is an established leader in evidence-based human precision nutrition based on biomarkers. Their analytics platform and proprietary recommendation engine is 10 years in the making, and adapted to accelerate biomarker-based precision nutrition in animals.
Verax™ may seem complicated at first, but the process is actually pretty simple. Customers can opt to do their own blood testing and send us the results or we can bring in our trained staff to assist, depending on your operation and predetermined needs.
When Verax™ conducts the testing on-site, we collect a relevant sample of your livestock and bring them to our diagnostic van. Our experts weigh each animal and draw blood samples, which are then analyzed. We may perform additional testing, depending on your needs.
Data inputs are entered into our custom-built iPad application. After the data collection process is complete, the animal data is transferred to the cloud and run through our expert system by InsideTracker, which uses machine learning to deliver results and peer-reviewed suggestions back to you.
Once you determine which option is right for your operation, you can take action and provide a better, more applicable diet that will improve the health and performance of your animals. As more data is collected over time, you can make better-informed decisions and improvements.
Better diets and better decisions, lead to better profits and sustainability.
We understand that the needs of your animals and operation evolve over time. One-time testing only gives you a snapshot of information. Verax™ uses repeat testing to account for seasonality and other environmental factors that impact your operation throughout the year and beyond.
Continuous testing and improvement results in a more efficient operation.
