Áine NutriScience aims to help farmers with animal nutrition
Start-up’s app will calculate nutritionally balanced feeding programmes for herds
The inspiration for Katerina Duke’s start-up company, Áine NutriScience, came from her mother, Anna, a retired professor of animal nutrition and businesswoman who spent 30 years advising livestock farmers how to feed their animals for optimum health, sustainability and profit.
“Our system makes feeding simple, accessible, interactive, comprehensive, and reflective of an individual farm’s needs, conditions and requirements. It is where animals meet technology.”
