Neogen is partnering with Ripe Technology to improve the connection between livestock genomics feed use and food safety.
Michigan-based, Neogen, creates and markets products focused on animal safety and production including antibiotics, pharmaceuticals, vaccines, food safety, genomics and toxicology.
The system also could be used to track the genomic profile of a dairy cow, along with the feed used, the animal’s medical history and how much milk it produced, the company said. The technology is set to be developed separately from Neogen’s analytics platform, but the two technologies will be used to provide data-driven insights to customers.
