Firmly rooted in science,
Livetec formed in 2010 to improve the future of farming.

Livetec is the leading provider of livestock protection – the go-to partner for all biosecurity issues across the industry.

Our experience in farming, high animal welfare, research and development, legislation and policy enables us to provide comprehensive support services for our clients. We are specialists in applying scientific research to day-to-day practises in these areas, working with all parts of the livestock community to protect the welfare of both animals and farmers.

Founded in 2010 by agricultural engineer Julian Sparrey and Gordon Samet, Livetec was established to help livestock producers respond effectively to disease outbreaks and strengthen biosecurity across the sector. Over the past 15 years, the company has supported farmers, integrators and industry partners through some of the most significant disease challenges facing UK agriculture, delivering practical expertise in emergency response, contingency planning and on-farm biosecurity. Today, Livetec combines this operational experience with innovative digital tools, including the Livestock Protect platform, helping producers move from reactive crisis management to proactive disease prevention and preparedness. Trusted by thousands of farmers and organisations, Livetec continues to work across pig, poultry and wider livestock sectors to safeguard animal health, protect food production and strengthen resilience against emerging disease threats.

Our mission is to build, develop, and maintain exceptional working relationships with the UK’s leading agricultural organisations to transform the existing farming sector and create a more resilient industry.

We ensure that farmers aren’t just building their processes around the need to implement emergency reactive measures, but are actively working to boost resilience and minimise risk.

We believe that the key to transforming the farming sector is through bringing best practise behaviours and proactive approaches to the forefront of day-to-day operations.

"The BPC has worked with Livetec for six years and highly values their rapid and reliable service. Livetec provides our member businesses and their farmers with the most efficient service during the worst of times. With efficiency and empathy, Livetec effectively responds to emergency situations as soon as possible. Their role is of the utmost importance as the British poultry industry continues to work with Government to improve standards and animal welfare and reduce the threat of exotic disease incursion. Industry, Government and Livetec all work together to mitigate the risk of disaster and keep the food supply chain going."

Our partnership with Livetec reflects our commitment to taking a proactive approach to risk, rather than simply responding to it.

Getting Livetec on board is very good value for money. They could save you millions of pounds on your poultry unit, so the costs would pale into insignificance. We all need to look at the big picture, and that's what Livetec can help us do.

The beauty of the Livestock Protect Platform is the power of the features. The simplicity and convenience combined give confidence that should the worst happen, all the information required is easily available and accessible to those who are going to be able to help the most.
