Your research shouldn't wait on data collection.
You have hypotheses to test, papers to publish, and a tenure clock that doesn't pause. The last thing you need is six months spent negotiating farm access and cleaning spreadsheets.
What if the data was already there — structured, clean, and waiting?
The dirty secret of dairy research.
Most dairy studies spend more time acquiring and cleaning data than analyzing it. You know this. Your grad students definitely know this.
Farm records are scattered across whiteboards, paper logs, and software systems that don't export cleanly. By the time you've built relationships with enough farms and standardized their data formats, half your grant period is gone.
“The breakthrough isn't in the analysis. It's in having clean data to analyze in the first place.”
We work with commercial dairies every day. Their data flows through our system — health events, production records, treatments, breeding, nutrition. All timestamped. All structured. All queryable.
With farmer consent, that data can accelerate your research by months.
How research partnerships work
Define Your Needs
Tell us what you're studying — variables, sample sizes, timeframes. We'll tell you what's possible with our existing farm network.
We Handle Consent
Our farmers trust us. When we explain the research value, many are willing to contribute anonymized data. We manage all permissions.
Clean Data Delivered
You get structured datasets in your preferred format. No cleaning. No standardization headaches. Just data ready for analysis.
Our team working with farm partners to structure and deliver research-ready data
Data that's actually usable.
Our platform captures the full picture of dairy operations — not just what gets reported, but what actually happens day to day.
Academic Pricing
We offer special rates for academic institutions. Data access, API integrations, and custom exports — priced for research budgets, not enterprise ones.
The insight that changes research timelines.
The farms that will transform your research are already collecting the data you need. They just don't know you exist yet. We're the bridge.
1 in 50 dairy cows in North America run through our system. That's a sample size worth talking about.
Research areas we support
Animal Health & Welfare
Disease patterns, treatment efficacy, early detection indicators, welfare metrics.
Nutrition & Feed Efficiency
Ration performance, component responses, feed conversion, metabolic health.
Reproduction & Genetics
Fertility trends, genetic performance, breeding outcomes, genomic correlations.
Behavior & Environment
Activity patterns, environmental impacts, heat stress, housing effects.
Farm Economics
Production economics, labor efficiency, technology ROI, decision modeling.
Systems & Technology
Sensor validation, automation impacts, data integration, decision support.
A note on data privacy
We never share farm data without explicit farmer consent. Period. Our farmers trust us with their operations — we take that seriously. All research data is anonymized, and farmers can opt out at any time. Your IRB will appreciate our consent protocols.
