Verility Inc. has revolutionized sow insemination with its Fertile-Eyez™ technology, which uses AI to optimize the insemination window, resulting in higher conception rates and genetic progress across herds. A recent study of 400 sows showed that Fertile-Eyez achieves the same reproductive results with fewer inseminations, saving on costs and labor. The system identifies ovulation windows in sows that do not exhibit standing heat, leading to significant pregnancy rates in animals that would otherwise be culled.
The study showed that integrating Fertile-Eyez into sow insemination protocols resulted in fewer semen doses required, reduced boar heat testing, decreased boar exposure days, and overall labor reduction. This allows producers to strategically allocate high-index boar semen, accelerating herd improvement without increasing costs. Swine breeders can expect a 1.6 return on investment by using Fertile-Eyez, which provides a tech-enabled alternative to traditional hormone-based methods.
Backed by science and with funding from investors, Verility is poised to redefine fertility management in swine production. The technology has been validated across multiple species, and the company holds patents across key markets. Fertile-Eyez represents a digital transformation in livestock reproduction, providing producers with precision breeding at scale. CEO Liane Hart emphasizes the importance of innovation in tackling reproductive challenges and believes that Fertile-Eyez will usher in a new era of accuracy, accessibility, and profitability in sow insemination.
