Macso Technologies and Unigen have partnered to introduce AI-powered livestock monitoring and management solutions for farms, focusing on early disease detection and cost reduction.

Macso’s AI-enabled sensors, particularly for swine, detect respiratory illnesses early, reducing mortality rates and antibiotic use.

Unigen integrates Macso’s software into its Poundcake AI inference server, enabling affordable, on-premise edge AI solutions for farms without relying on cloud connectivity.

The system allows real-time monitoring, alerts, and remote access for veterinarians and stakeholders to make timely decisions.

“By applying our unique approach to AI inference in high powered servers, Unigen is making it affordable for farmers and veterinarians to have the latest in AI server technology while keeping their data on-prem and secure,” says Paul W. Heng, founder and CEO of Unigen. “This partnership with Macso is an exciting next step as we bring our AI solutions into new industries. From retail, security, agriculture and beyond, we’re proud to help businesses adopt AI solutions that run locally, without relying on the cloud.”

Respiratory illnesses account for 60% of global swine deaths, and Macso’s technology addresses this issue with 24/7 monitoring and early detection.

The partnership aims to improve sustainability in animal health management, addressing issues like carbon emissions, hunger, and malnutrition. Macso and Unigen showcased their solutions at the World Pork Expo in June 2025.
