Mastitis Detection Made Easy
About Us
Bovonic was founded in early 2021 by Liam Kampshof to develop practical, innovative solutions to transform how farmers take control of disease in their cows.
In true number 8 wire spirit, Liam developed the first versions of Bovonic’s mastitis detector in the garage from basic components found at hardware and electrical stores.
Liam took his basic prototype to Fieldays in 2021, and more than 100 farmers signed up their interest in the innovation. This pushed Liam to raise investment, grow the team, and commercialise the idea.
Bovonic is led by a board with deep experience in the dairy industry and agri-tech startups.
Bovonic prides itself on keeping farmers at the centre of our design and development process. We believe the success of our technology is intrinsically linked to the real-world experiences and needs of the farmers we serve. To achieve this, we maintain an open line of communication with our farming community, actively seeking their insights, concerns, and suggestions.
