Sheep-I Technology for live

Sheep-I is an company who produces a sensor that is detecting a sheep stuck on their back.

Our vision is to improve animal welfare, and life quality of sheep. Furthermore, reduce labour in sheep farming.

Our goal is to create sustainable products with a notification system for the sheep industry.

Additionally, the aim is to make our products affordable and of high quality, so farmers can save money. By early detection of an animal upside down with the use of our products, the farmer can save his animals. Moreover, high costs can be reduced due to good claw health and monitoring sheep behaviour.

 

Our mission is to introduce technology which allow farmers to save life of sheep that cannot roll over themselves, to detect lameness and to reduce labour of farmer.  To achieve the mission, a bracelet that can be attached to the leg of the sheep has been developed.

In terms of the sustainable development goals, Sheep-I focussed on goal 7; clean energy. Goal 9; industry, innovation and infrastructure. Goal 12; responsible consumption and production and goal 13; climate action.

We are currently focused entirely on the Dutch market. However, we hope to grow into the worldwide market in the future.
