AHV: FOR THE FUTURE
AHV (Animal Health Vision) is the developer of its patent-pending AHV Quorum Sensing Inhibition (QSI) Technology, and the frontrunner in quorum sensing-powered animal health solutions and value-added advisory services.
The hallmark of the AHV QSI Technology is that it emerged from the vision of working with bacteria. By disrupting their quorum sensing (QS) (i.e., the biochemical communication between bacteria) we can influence and alter the behaviour of bacteria.
Applied in our multi-award-winning portfolios of sustainable solutions, we enable our community to optimise animal health, efficiency and performance, such as production, quality, and longevity. The introduction of our animal health concepts and solutions has already led to numerous livestock farms switching over to the AHV platform. Our innovative solutions are used by over 10,000 livestock farmers and veterinarians internationally.
Our Vision
To establish a high quality and healthy dairy and food supply chain, built on the principles of quorum sensing (QS) of communication and collaboration.
Through knowledge sharing, continuous research, and development of our processes and products, we improve the efficiency, social welfare, and environmental management of livestock animals. With a sustainable and quorum sensing-driven approach, we can make a real impact on our future and industry’s stewardship on levels, such as environment and nature, economics, health, property, information, innovation, and resources.
Our Mission
To empower farmers through unique innovations, tools, and solutions in animal health.
With AHV’s Health Vision Platform we help farmers worldwide understand their herd health management, enabling them to proactively optimise animal health and performance.
