Independent Expertise for Complex Production Systems
Scale brings complexity. In integrated production, health is never an isolated variable; it is a dynamic driver of efficiency that interacts constantly with nutrition, housing, genetics, and management. To optimise performance, you need more than just clinical observation — you need independent, rigorous analysis that cuts through the noise of daily operations.
This is the EpiMundi advantage. We are not input suppliers; we are objective data partners. We work alongside your internal veterinary and technical teams to provide high-level epidemiological support that validates decisions and manages risk.
Our approach is built on a foundation of data integrity. We understand the challenges of commercial information environments — from legacy infrastructure to data privacy. We possess the advanced technical capability to optimise your health information systems and govern your private data securely. By ensuring your data is not just collected, but structured for deep analysis, we transform your production records into a sustainable, real-time asset for strategic planning and risk mitigation.
Business Continuity & Compartmentalisation
Secure Your Business Against Market Disruption
In global pork production, a disease outbreak is more than a clinical challenge—it is an existential commercial risk. For large-scale integrators, maintaining business continuity in the face of threats like ASF or PRRS is as critical as hitting daily production targets.
We work with major integrators (including extensive projects in North America) to design robust contingency planning and compartmentalisation strategies. Our approach focuses on data-driven surveillance to secure “trade-proof” sub-populations that can maintain export status and keep commerce moving, even when disease affects the wider region.
On the farm, we help you leverage existing data to see threats sooner. We have developed sophisticated mortality monitoring tools and surveillance algorithms that filter out normal fluctuations to trigger early warnings, allowing for rapid intervention before a pathogen spreads through the system.

Precision Health & Vaccine Optimisation
Deciphering Complexity to Optimise Intervention
Poultry production operates on tight margins where interactions between circulating pathogens and management factors determine profitability. The challenge is rarely a single isolated virus, but the complex interplay of strains, environmental pressures, and production timing.
We help European and international producers turn raw production and laboratory data into precise health strategies. By characterising pathogen strains circulating within specific populations and correlating them with performance metrics, we provide the evidence needed to fine-tune high-stakes decisions—such as vaccine selection and optimal timing.
We move beyond generic advice, using your specific data to model disease interactions and predict outcomes. This allows you to deploy interventions that are scientifically targeted to your specific epidemiological landscape, preventing losses and maximising flock uniformity.

Clinical Expertise Meets Advanced Analytics
Data-Driven Population Medicine
Cattle production is where our company began, backed by over 30 years of clinical experience in both dairy and beef systems. We bridge the gap between traditional stockmanship and modern data science, understanding that the right analysis can reveal trends that the naked eye misses.
We apply advanced epidemiological methods to the core pillars of herd profitability: mastitis control, reproductive efficiency, and nutrition. By analysing long-term herd data, we help you identify the sub-clinical trends that erode longevity and milk yield.
Whether optimising biosecurity for a feedlot or refining heifer management in a dairy, our solutions are grounded in deep clinical reality. We help you demonstrate high standards of animal welfare and responsible antimicrobial use (AMU) to processors and retailers, protecting both your herd’s health and your market license.

Pioneering Aquatic Epidemiology
Managing Risk in a Fluid Environment
Aquaculture presents unique challenges where water connects every site, spreading risk rapidly across zones. EpiMundi pioneered the field of aquatic animal epidemiology. We have applied these principles globally—from salmon in Europe and the Americas to shrimp, tilapia, and carp in South-East Asia.
We understand the diverse production systems of aquatic species, including tuna, oysters, and trout. Our expertise lies in quantifying the “invisible” risks in the water column. We help producers design surveillance systems that account for hydrodynamic spread, optimising site placement and fallowing schedules to break disease cycles.
As the sector faces increasing regulatory scrutiny, we provide the independent analysis required to prove freedom from disease and validate biosecurity standards, ensuring your operations remain sustainable and compliant.
