Increasing Farm Productivity
About Us
The Zero Tolerance Solution for Addressing Electrical Noise
Our Mission
Our mission is to revolutionize animal agriculture and welfare by eliminating stray voltage and electrical noise—improving animal health and comfort, enhancing equipment performance, extending lifespan, and maximizing farm productivity—so you get more from every investment in your operation.
Increasing Farm Productivity from the Ground Up
Driven by a commitment to optimal dairy performance, our comprehensive approach mitigates electrical noise, leading to significant improvements in dairy health. We understand that the presence of stray voltage and electrical noise, even at levels as low as 10mV, has been correlated with adverse effects on milk production and animal behavior. This is why our approach addresses electrical noise at its source.

A Complete Productivity System
Our proven Zero Tolerance Solution is meticulously designed to identify and remove barriers to proper electrical flow. It creates guided pathways to safely reroute stray electricity and effectively reduces voltage levels within animal housing and facilities. By surpassing current compliance levels and striving to achieve 70mV or lower, our process helps to unlock significant production potential for your farm. Through ongoing research, development, and strategic partnerships, we are consistently setting a new benchmark in farm electrification solutions.
The direct result of implementing our solution is a safer, cleaner, and more efficient agricultural environment. By effectively eliminating harmful stray voltage, we help farmers achieve measurable improvements in key performance indicators, including increases in dry matter and water intakes, higher milk yield, enhanced conception rates, and reduced somatic cell counts in cows.
Join us in this mission as we work toward Zero Tolerance for electrical noise, creating a brighter and more productive future for animal agriculture.
