The GrowSafe Feed Intake System and Behavior Monitoring System that our Genetic Development Center® utilizes have acquired a reputation for developing RFID based data acquisition systems that automatically read multiple tags in close proximity without confinement.

They understand that reproductive efficiency, carcass efficiency and feed efficiency are just a few areas that, with improvement, can greatly impact their bottom line and their overall profitability.
