Egret

Protect your farm. Grow what it earns.

A disease outbreak can take a whole flock or pond in days. But a farm also loses money quietly — birds under-laying, feed going to waste, mortality creeping up — and the farmer often cannot see it. Egret watches both: early warning and a vet when disease is near, and the guidance to earn more when it isn't.

01 — What a farmer gets

The farms that are on the map are the ones we can reach in time — and the ones we can help earn more.

Help only works if it reaches the right farm. Everything Egret delivers — a warning, a vet, a vaccine, or advice worth money — depends on knowing who is farming what, and exactly where.

Early warning

Outbreak alerts by radius

A Newcastle or avian-flu case is reported. Every poultry farm within range is warned the same day — because we know the coordinates.

Response

Vet and medicine, routed

The nearest vet is sent to the exact pond or pen, not a guessed village — with vaccines and medicine delivered to the farm. Minutes matter when a flock is dying.

Growth

The loss you can't see

Nothing is dying, but you are still earning less than you should — over-stocked pens, poor feed conversion, birds under-laying. We compare your farm with similar ones nearby and tell you what to change.

Prediction

Risk before it spreads

Density, species, weather and water systems together predict where disease travels next — so protection arrives ahead of the outbreak.

02 — How it works

A farm on the map is a farm we can do something about.

Everything Egret does — the warning, the vet, the medicine, the advice that lifts a yield — is computed from one thing: knowing exactly where a farm is and what it keeps. A farm that is only a name on a list cannot be warned, cannot be reached, and cannot be compared with anything.

  1. 01

    We know the farm

    Not a village — the farm. Its coordinate, what it keeps, how many, and who to call. That single fact is what everything below is computed from, and it is the part that cannot be reconstructed later.

  2. 02

    Signals land on it

    A disease case is reported nearby. The weather turns. Similar farms a few kilometres away start out-performing this one. Because the farm is a point on a map — not a name on a list — each of those becomes a measurable distance, not a rumour.

  3. 03

    It becomes something to do today

    A warning the same day, with the action to take. A vet routed to the exact pen, and medicine sent to the farm. Or, when nothing is wrong: the one change that lifts what the farm earns.

03 — The register

Collected on foot, by real agents, and never taken on trust.

Field agents visit livestock farmers and capture each farm's GPS location, livestock type and count into a single record. Farmers never need an account.

Every record carries a trust state that ops can read at a glance. A location read from a device is not treated the same as a pin dropped by hand — and nothing is called verified until it has earned it.

How a farm enters the register
01
Captured on foot
An agent stands on the farm and reads the coordinate off the device. Not a village name, not a guess.
02
Checked, not assumed
Accuracy, duplicates and the stated community are all tested against the record. A pin dropped by hand is never treated as a pin read from GPS.
03
Only then, registered
Anything that fails a check is held back and worked until it passes — or dropped. Nothing enters the register until it has earned it.
04 — What the data makes possible

Real data — and the good it can do.

Every record is captured on the farm and verified, so what we hold is real, not estimated. Accurate data like this is where a lot of good starts — helping farms stay ahead of disease, produce more, and plan for the years ahead. We're only beginning to explore how far it can go.
