Early disease detection across livestock, poultry and crops

RoboScientific applies volatile organic compound, or VOC, sensing technology to detect early changes in the health status of animals, crops and stored produce.

All living organisms release VOCs into the air or breath. When disease, infection or stress begins to affect an organism, these VOC patterns can change before visible symptoms are obvious. RoboScientific’s technology is designed to recognise these changes and provide earlier, non-invasive insight into disease risk.

Our platform combines proprietary sensor arrays, automated sampling and machine-learning analysis to identify disease-related VOC patterns in practical farm and food-production environments. This allows health monitoring to move beyond occasional visual checks or laboratory testing towards more regular, automated and data-led surveillance.

RoboScientific is developing applications across poultry, pigs, calves, dairy and protected crops, with poultry as the lead commercial focus. The same core VOC sensing platform can be adapted for different environments, including poultry houses, pig buildings, calf feeding systems, dairy milking systems, polytunnels and crop-storage facilities.

By providing earlier warning of disease, RoboScientific aims to help producers reduce losses, improve welfare, target interventions more effectively and support more resilient, sustainable food production.
