Wyld Networks announce partnership with SpaceVis to deploy Wyld Connect for livestock tracking in Brazil
SpaceVis have developed an innovative livestock tracking solution to meet the needs of an increasingly data hungry livestock farming sector. Partnering with Wyld Networks, SpaceVis are exploring the opportunity to provide satellite connectivity for 350 million head of cattle to meet new traceability regulations.
Brazil has the second largest number of cattle in the world, 22.2% of the total world herd. It is also the second largest producer of beef, responsible for 15.4% of global production. However, with Brazil’s immense land capital, monitoring livestock has significant challenges when it comes to data and connectivity.
At the COP28 climate change convention in Dubai, the Governor of the Brazilian state of Pará Helder Barbalho signed an Executive Decree to create the Pará Cattle Integrity and Development Program. This is the first environment-focused mandatory individual traceability program for cattle in Brazil, which will radically increase transparency and visibility of the supply chain, channelling incentives and increasing producer compliance to reduce deforestation.
Pará is a state larger than France, Spain and Norway combined that is home to more than 24 million cattle on more than 295,000 farms. The regulation means all cattle will need to be tracked in the State of Para. This regulation is expected to roll out to the rest of Brazil.
SpaceVis under the brand CattleVis, are at the vanguard of the technological revolution in the world of livestock farming. In the age of digitisation and innovation, CattleVis is leading livestock farming towards a smarter, more efficient and sustainable future.
"Satellite IoT is driving productivity for agtech solutions in Brazil’s livestock sector,” said Alastair Williamson, CEO of Wyld Networks. "We are delighted to start this partnership with SpaceVis to connect data from cattle across Brazil, increase herd profitability, meet animal welfare standards and deliver on environmental goals."
