Elanco

Digital Transformative Solution to Combat Ticks in Cattle

Problem

The client has been working with Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation for spreading awareness in the sub-Saharan African region to counter ticks in cattle. Ticks have been detrimental to the lives of the cattle and cost livelihood to the farmers in the region.

Need

Elanco required a digital solution that could provide a centralized network to help all farmers and farmland owners in having sufficient awareness regarding ticks in cattle and how to generate the best possible solutions to maximize production.

Solution

A cross-platform educational app, to spread awareness and solutions of ticks in cattle, was developed for the farmers. They received digital insights to control ticks, get instant aid from vets, and boost beef production.
