Tatton Consulting supported South Cambridgeshire-based livestock epigenomics company Antler Bio in its successful application to Innovate UK Smart Grants: May 2021, awarded £292,204 by Innovate UK for the project EPIHERD – Helping UK Farmers unlock new gains in productivity, health and sustainability in Dairy Herds using epigenomics and AI. The total Innovate UK grant across all project partners was £348,814.
About the funded R&D project
A precision herd screening tool built as an AI platform, enabling farmers to identify the specific epigenomic factors influencing how their animals perform. Epigenetic factors respond to management and environment, which means, unlike genetics alone, they represent something a farmer can change within a season.
