Daro, an innovative biotech startup specializing in livestock disease detection, has secured $1.1 million in funding to further develop its cutting-edge diagnostic technology. The funding round, backed by agricultural investors and tech accelerators, aims to enhance early disease detection in swine and other livestock, improving herd health and producer profitability.
Early Detection for Stronger Biosecurity
Daro’s proprietary technology leverages AI-driven diagnostics and real-time data analytics to identify potential disease outbreaks before symptoms become widespread. By offering rapid, on-farm testing solutions, the company aims to reduce disease spread, minimize economic losses, and support more proactive health management strategies for swine producers.
“Our mission is to provide producers with the tools they need to detect and respond to diseases faster than ever before,” said a Daro representative. “This funding allows us to refine our technology, expand trials, and bring scalable solutions to the industry.”
Potential Impact on the Swine Industry
With growing concerns over biosecurity threats such as African Swine Fever (ASF), PRRS, and PEDv, Daro’s technology could become a game-changer for disease control in pork production. The ability to detect pathogens early means producers can act swiftly, isolating affected animals and preventing costly outbreaks.
The technology could also integrate with existing farm management systems, providing real-time monitoring and automated alerts to veterinarians and producers.
What’s Next for Daro?
With fresh funding in place, Daro plans to:
✅ Expand research and field trials across North America
✅ Enhance AI-powered disease modeling for improved accuracy
✅ Launch commercial partnerships with swine industry leaders
Industry experts believe that technology-driven biosecurity solutions will play a critical role in shaping the future of livestock health management.
