Agribusiness and Supply Chain

Validating Value. Protecting Brands.

In the agribusiness value chain, data is the currency of trust. Whether you are an upstream innovator launching a new vaccine or a downstream retailer protecting a global brand, you need independent, scientific evidence to validate your claims and secure your position.

EpiMundi operates at both ends of this spectrum. We help input providers generate the Real-World Evidence (RWE) needed to prove product efficacy in commercial environments. Simultaneously, we assist food brands and retailers in designing rigorous supplier assurance frameworks that mitigate biological risk and build consumer confidence.

Animal Health & Pharmaceuticals

Efficacy Beyond the Lab

Regulatory approval is only the starting point. To gain market share, you must prove how your products perform in the complex reality of commercial production. We partner with pharmaceutical companies to design and analyse rigorous field studies that bridge the gap between clinical trials and on-farm results.

We also support the lifecycle of your products through advanced molecular epidemiology and post-market surveillance. We work with you to optimise sampling strategies for the early detection of emerging viral strains, ensuring your vaccines remain relevant. Furthermore, we develop protocols to confirm “vaccine take” and efficacy in the field, providing the data needed to defend your product’s performance against claims of failure.

Example Services:

Real-World Evidence (RWE) Studies

Statistically robust field trials to demonstrate ROI and efficacy

Strain Surveillance Strategy

Optimising sampling intensity to detect new variants and inform R&D

Post-Market Monitoring

Independent analysis of adverse events and efficacy data

Genetics Companies

Proving Robustness in the Field

Modern genetics must deliver more than just growth; they must deliver resilience. As the industry moves away from prophylactic medication, the ability of your lines to perform under disease pressure is a key differentiator.

We help genetics companies quantify “robustness.” By analysing health and production data across diverse environments, we help you isolate the genetic component of disease resistance. We provide independent validation of your health traits, giving your technical sales teams the evidence they need to demonstrate value to integrators.

Example Services:

Genotype-by-Environment Analysis

Assessing performance stability across different health challenges

Disease Resistance Validation

Independent statistical analysis of morbidity/mortality data in specific lines

Dissemination Modelling

Tracking the spread of genetic traits through pyramidal production structures

Feed and nutrition

Substantiating Health & Safety

Feed is the largest cost in production and the primary vector for key risks. We work with feed millers and additive producers on two fronts: Risk Mitigation and Value Demonstration.

On the risk side, we model the transmission of pathogens (like Salmonella) through the feed chain to help you design critical control points. On the value side, particularly for functional feeds and gut-health additives, we provide the epidemiological trial design necessary to substantiate claims regarding antibiotic reduction and health improvements.

Example Services:

Functional Feed Trials

Designing studies to prove the impact of additives on herd health and AMU reduction

Contamination Risk Assessment

Modelling pathogen flow in mills and supply chains

Mycotoxin Impact Analysis

Correlating feed quality data with production health outcomes

Retail, Food Service & Processing

Supply Chain Integrity & Consumer Confidence

For retailers and major food brands, biological risk lies upstream—often deep within a complex supply chain. Traditional auditing provides a snapshot; we provide a risk-based strategy.

We work with major food companies to design Supplier Health Assurance Programs. By focusing on zoonotic disease control (such as Salmonella, Campylobacter, or AMU standards) at the farm level, we help you mitigate the risks that threaten public health and brand reputation. We turn supplier data into a transparency asset, allowing you to back up your marketing claims with verified health metrics.

Example Services:

Zoonotic Risk mitigation

Designing farm-level control programs to protect the final consumer product

Risk-Based Auditing

Using data to identify high-risk suppliers for targeted intervention

Sustainability & Welfare Metrics

Independent verification of supply chain performance for ESG reporting

Abattoirs & Processing Plants

Turning Inspection into Upstream Value

The processing plant is the ultimate health checkpoint for the industry. It is where the cumulative effects of farm management, transport, and welfare converge. We help processors transform regulatory inspection data into a powerful commercial asset.

We advise on risk-based pathogen surveillance strategies that optimise food safety monitoring without slowing the line. Beyond safety, we help you build advanced feedback systems. By analysing ante-mortem and post-mortem findings — including data from modern machine-vision grading systems — we create feedback loops that inform producers and transporters of specific health and welfare issues. This transparency reduces condemnations, improves animal welfare during transport, and maximises the value of the animals arriving at your dock.

Example Services:

Producer & Transporter Feedback Loops

Systems to report carcass quality and welfare data back to the farm and hauler to drive upstream improvements

Risk-Based Food Safety

Designing statistically efficient sampling plans for pathogens to ensure compliance and consumer safety

Traceability & Value Chain Integration

Supporting complex traceability systems that link farm health status to final product quality
