African livestock farmers face severe limitations in accessing quality animal healthcare care solutions, resulting in: High livestock mortality (40-60% annually according to FAO) Significant income losses ($1 billion annually in Nigeria alone) Limited access to expert advice ( there is just 1 vet agent per 20,000 farmers) Delayed disease detection and treatment Poor farm management practices Abuse of antibiotics in farm animals resulting into antibiotic residues and antimicrobial resistance

Agrocist is AI powered platform that provides personalized veterinary advisory for livestock farmers and in other side equips veterinarians with disease detection tool and data insights to deliver premium animal healthcare How It works (1) Agrocist helps vets, agents, poultry and fish farmers access data insights to optimize their productivity.

Our target primary users are veterinary doctors and agent while our secondary user population are smallholder livestock farmers in Nigeria who rear poultry and fish for commercial purposes In a place like Nigeria, Livestock farming is a huge source of livelihood however these farmers lack access to the needed veterinary advisory support to guide them on a more sustainable ways to raise their farm animals creating a huge gap that needs to be filled. Also in other hand, Livestock animal healthcare in Africa is fundamentally broken. for every 100,000 livestock farmers there is less than 5 veterinary doctors to serve them and even very limited veterinary diagnostic laboratories to assist animal healthcare experts to better diagnose and treat effectively. This further affects our food system as about 40% livestock animals are lost to diseases annually. At Evet we are committed to solving this problem by building an end to end tech enabled solution that conveniently delivers quality animal healthcare to farmer's door step.
