Swine

In swine, digestive health is one of the key pillars for welfare, growth and production sustainability. TheGastrointestinal Disease Risk Index continuously monitors emissions of hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), an early indicator of digestive dysfunction, to detect diarrhea, dysbiosis, and dietary imbalances.

H₂S is a gas produced during abnormal fermentation processes in the intestines, often associated with:

• intestinal dysbiosis
• Acute or subclinical diarrheal episodes
• Excess of degradable protein in the diet
• poor digestibility of the ration

These conditions compromise:

• food efficiency
• the average daily growth (ADG)
• the food conversion ratio (FCR)
• the immune resilience of animals

Continuous monitoring = targeted and timely interventions

With our solution you can:

• Real-time detection of increased levels of H₂S in the housing environment
• Correlate environmental data with observable digestive symptoms in animal husbandry
• Intervene early on ration or hygiene/management conditions
• Improve gut wellness and reduce antibiotic use

A healthy gut = better production performance

The gastrointestinal tract is much more than a “digestive tube”-it is a central immune and metabolic organ. Preventing digestive disorders improves livestock performance and reduces health care costs.

Respiratory diseases are among the leading causes of economic losses in pig farming. TheRespiratory Disease Risk Index continuously monitors levels of ammonia (NH₃) and particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) to identify early environmental conditions that promote respiratory infections, declining welfare, and worsening performance.

The pig respiratory system is highly sensitive to environmental irritants. Excessive accumulations of ammonia or fine dust favor:

• bronchitis and pneumonia
• Complex respiratory syndromes (PRRS, Actinobacillus, Mycoplasma)
• increased use of antibiotics
• Deterioration in conversion ratio and growth rate

An unhealthy environment directly impacts:

• respiratory health
• production efficiency
• health care costs
• perceived well-being also according to ESG and supply chain standards

Real-time data for timely action

The index allows for:

• Monitor 24/7 NH₃ and particulate matter concentrations.
• Correlating spikes in noxious gases with clinical or subclinical episodes
• Proactively manage ventilation and animal density
• Intervene before symptoms or drops in production occur

Breathing clean air = fewer problems, more results

Improving air quality is one of the most effective (and often underestimated) interventions to reduce respiratory disease, increase welfare, and achieve healthier, stronger, and more profitable animals.

Pigs communicate much more than we imagine: they vocalize to express discomfort, pain, hunger, fear, or social stress. The CynomysAnimal Stress Index detects average noise and sound peaks in real time to identify critical conditions that compromise well-being and performance.

Vocalization is an early and objective biomarker of emotional and physiological state. An abnormal increase in high-pitched, intense, or repetitive sounds may indicate:

• Stress from overcrowding or aggression between animals
• Discomfort related to environmental conditions (e.g., excessive heat, lack of ventilation)
• Physical pain or discomfort (e.g., lameness, disease, starvation)
• Problems in group or density management

Chronic stress in pigs results in:

• Worsening of the food conversion index
• increase in biting injuries
• decline in daily growth
• reduced immune resilience

Listening for prevention = more health, less intervention

Analyzing vocalizations means understanding before seeing symptoms, reducing pharmacological intervention and improving group management on an ethological basis.
