The technology provides a non-GMO, non-hormonal solution for enhancing fish growth. Already tested on tilapia, the technology may also be applicable to most or all finfish. AquiNovo’s proprietary materials are designed to be incorporated into the feed sold to fish farms and given to fish as early as possible before or during the onset of puberty. A sustainable solution for increasing fish yields, shorten time to market, reduced overall production costs and risks associated with the growth period (e.g. disease, weather catastrophes, etc.), and more efficient use of farm resources.

A remote monitoring system, based on different types of electronic collars, that tracks the location, health and behavior of cattle. The system can help ranchers increase yields by as much as 25% and reduce operational costs by up to 15%. Every three minutes, the system provides updates to the rancher’s PC or smartphone. CattleWatch uses an iridium satellite management system, with 100% worldwide coverage, suitable for long-term operation in rough terrain and all weather conditions, even in remote and very large grazing areas without cellular coverage.

Developing a technology that detects the sex of chick embryos immediately after the eggs are laid and before they enter the 21-day incubation process. The detection process prevents chicks from hatching unnecessarily, keeps the eggs within the food industry, and addresses the common ethical, environmental, and economic problems of egg and poultry production.

Technology designed to improve the use of insects as a protein source for animal feed. Developing methods for freezing fly eggs and condensing them in large quantities for easy defrosting on organic waste. Once defrosted, the eggs develop into larvae which eat the waste and rapidly increase their mass. The grown larvae can then be harvested and processed into protein meal. The frozen eggs are tightly packed and can be shipped worldwide.
