MetaFarms

Founded in 2000, MetaFarms, Inc. provides a web-based software platform for the animal production industry. The company operates on a Software as a Service (SaaS) model, hosted on Microsoft's Azure cloud, to deliver an integrated suite of applications that consolidates livestock data. This platform is designed to manage the entire livestock production cycle, from breeding to market, for species including swine, cattle, and poultry.

The company's core mission is to provide a unified system that ties together all aspects of production data, moving away from single-purpose software applications. Its product suite includes modules such as SOW for tracking swine breeding performance, FINISH for grow-finish operations, and SALES for market data integration. These tools offer features like real-time data analytics, benchmarking against industry standards, customizable reporting, and mobile applications with offline data entry capabilities. By integrating with technologies like electronic sow feeders (ESFs) and other third-party platforms like SwineTech's PigFlow and EveryPig, MetaFarms aims to reduce manual data entry, improve data accuracy, and provide actionable insights for producers to enhance operational efficiency and profitability.

Headquartered in Minnesota, the company serves a global customer base ranging from small family farms to large, integrated protein businesses. The platform provides producers with detailed visibility into their operations, enabling data-driven decisions to improve animal care and business value. Key personnel include Brian Parker as Chief Operating Officer and Ag Platform President.
