CowMed S.A. operates within the agricultural technology sector, specializing in precision livestock farming for dairy cattle. The company was established in 2010 by a team with deep roots in veterinary medicine, zootechnics, engineering, and computer science. The founding team includes Leonardo Guedes, a veterinarian with a Ph.D. in animal reproduction, and Thiago Martins, who holds a Ph.D. in veterinary science. Their academic and professional backgrounds in animal health and production directly informed the development of CowMed's core technology, aiming to address the practical challenges faced by dairy farmers.
The company's flagship product is a comprehensive monitoring system that equips each animal with an electronic collar. This device collects and transmits data 24/7 on crucial indicators such as rumination, eating, idleness, and movement patterns. The system analyzes this information to provide dairy managers with actionable insights into the health, reproductive cycle, and nutritional status of their herd. By identifying health issues before clinical signs appear and pinpointing the optimal time for insemination, the technology aims to improve herd productivity and reduce operational costs. The business model is based on providing this technology as a service, targeting dairy farmers who seek to enhance their management practices and decision-making through data analysis.
Since its inception, CowMed has achieved notable milestones. In 2016, it secured a significant investment from Criatec 3, a major Latin American innovation investment fund, which enabled the company to scale its operations. Its technology is currently deployed across dairy farms in several Brazilian states, including Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, Paraná, São Paulo, Minas Gerais, and Goiás. The company generates revenue by selling its monitoring collars and providing ongoing data analysis and support services to its clients, effectively operating on a hardware-plus-service model.
