Real-time disease mitigation platform launches for producers in North America and Europe

Farm Health Guardian™, a new real-time disease mitigation technology platform, is now available for swine and poultry producers throughout North America, Europe and the United Kingdom, Canadian system provider Be Seen Be Safe Ltd. said in a media release.

The company says that the platform accurately and quickly tracks and shuts down disease spread within minutes of the first report of disease symptoms.

Jonathan Sawatzky VP, Maple Leaf Agri-Farms Manufacturing says, "Farm Health Guardian has provided our business with a platform to manage our farm movements and provide excellent and timely trace back abilities and communication in our Farm system."

"The Farm Health Guardian system is the first complete disease spread mitigation platform of its kind," says Tim Nelson, founder and president, Be Seen Be Safe. "Quick and efficient disease containment is critical to the safety and sustainability of the livestock and poultry industry and the people who work within it. Even with the best individual farm biosecurity protocols, livestock and poultry systems are vulnerable to the devastation that disease outbreaks can cause. With this proven technology we are able to reduce the impact throughout the production network by containing an outbreak before it spreads."

The patented system tracks and records all movement in and out of production facilities in real time, providing fast, easy, confidential ways to record all staff, visitor and vehicle movement. The system uses multiple technologies to record this movement, including an app for contactless digital pre-screening, paperless check-in, vehicle passport and GPS tracking. The system was tested and proven effective by one of North America's largest pork production networks, Maple Leaf Agri-Foods.

"We are proud to have played a role in bringing this critical technology to the industry, with a common goal to work and expand to the industry," says Dan Di Salvo, Maple Leaf Foods VP Infrastructure and Security. "Farm Health Guardian has already provided immediate benefits. The collaborative partnership Be Seen Be Safe and Maple Leaf Foods made the journey and solution successful, easy to use and even more. It's a major step forward in support of industry best practices in assuring continued, safe, quality food production that will continue to meet the growing global demand for food."
