About Livetec
Livetec is the leading provider of livestock protection – the go-to partner for all biosecurity issues across the industry.
Our experience in farming, high animal welfare, research and development, legislation and policy enables us to provide comprehensive support services for our clients. We are specialists in applying scientific research to day-to-day practises in these areas, working with all parts of the livestock community to protect the welfare of both animals and farmers.
Our mission
Our mission is to build, develop, and maintain exceptional working relationships with the UK’s leading agricultural organisations to transform the existing farming sector and create a more resilient industry.
We ensure that farmers aren’t just building their processes around the need to implement emergency reactive measures, but are actively working to boost resilience and minimise risk.
We believe that the key to transforming the farming sector is through bringing best practise behaviours and proactive approaches to the forefront of day-to-day operations.
The challenge
The UK farming sector is approaching its most significant period of change yet.
With the agricultural landscape evolving at a very rapid pace, farmers must continually adapt, which can be tough. That is why we are dedicated to helping farmers navigate change, whilst remaining compliant, protecting their livestock and livelihood.

Our vision

To see improved access to essential services that ensure farmers have access to the support they need to effectively reduce risk and protect their livelihoods.
To live in a world driven by partnerships, working towards the same goal, leveraging the power of collective, collaborative action to build the future of livestock protection.
Ultimately, we want to know that we’ve played our part in creating happier, healthier, and more sustainable environments for the livestock and the farmers who nourish our nation.
We’ve built Livetec on a foundation of:
Scientifically-backed knowledge
Across services and products that shapes all areas of our design and innovation. We remain up-to-date with the latest scientific research and industry developments to ensure our offerings are always bringing the most value.
Research-based processes and protocols
Deeply rooted in real UK agricultural history and use forensic analysis to learn from the past to improve in the future. We operate in ways that are proven to generate a positive impact.
Farmer wellbeing
We turn the tables and shift the focus from productivity to worker confidence, starting at the primary driver of positive change: YOU. We believe that supporting individual farmers is key to wider industry transformation.
Protection of healthy livestock
While emergency depopulation is usually the focus during an infectious event, we work with farmers to build proactive strategies that not only address the outbreak but actively reduce the devastation to you and your business.
Partnerships and relationship building
Working with industry professionals that facilitate the communication and collaboration needed to empower us to innovate at speed and remain at the very forefront of the rapidly changing agricultural industry.
Sustainability and responsible actions
Support the transition from traditional on-farm processes to more environmentally-considerate procedures that can play a significant role in reducing the impact of existing practices and assist in the move towards carbon neutral production.
Reliability, friendliness and professionalism
Ensuring all situations are approached with care and understanding. We don’t focus our efforts on where you’ve been; we drive our energy into helping you get where you need to be.
An understanding of the wider issues
By implementing farm-level change through our knowledge and expertise, we’re sparking a broader transformation that extends the impact of our products and services far beyond the individual farm.
Using the most up-to-date scientific data
