Centenary Thurles has taken a 5% stake in a recent start-up company, Micron
Agritech. This company has developed technology which it hopes will revolutionise animal health and diagnostics.
This technology provides for rapid on-site testing of grazing animals for parasites using mobile phones with results received in under 30 minutes. This has the capacity to eliminate the need for herd-wide blanket dosing, which helps avoid medication resistance and saves time and money. We look forward to monitoring progress with this exciting investment.
