This level of data integrity exceeds current regulatory requirements and is invaluable for biosecurity incidents, disease tracing and insurance claims.
Della Terra Ltd is a New Zealand agricultural technology company founded by farmers who experienced the frustrations of livestock traceability compliance firsthand.
We built HerdScan because we couldn't find a tool that worked the way farmers actually work — in paddocks, at the yards, in all weather. Tested on real farms, refined through real feedback.
HerdScan is coming to all four countries. Leave your details and we'll be in touch as soon as we launch in your region.
