Bronwyn’s pitch and question responses that won Agscent Pitch in the Paddock 2024 at Beef Australia.

At the Pitch in the Paddock competition at Beef 2024, budding entrepreneurs have five minutes to convince judges that their beef-centric business idea is worth funding, and Agscent take home the win.

It started over a crackly phone call with poor reception, but a partnership between two Australian farm-founded startups, Optiweigh and Agscent, is on a mission to deliver clear results for cattle producers, helping them measure their methane emissions in a pasture environment.

Agscent has been named the winner of the evokeAG. Pitch In The Paddock at Beef2024 in Rockhampton, beating out seven other finalists in the only pitching competition of its type in the world.

During this Startup NASA Feature webinar with Agscent, learn about this bio/agri-tech company that was founded on a farm in regional NSW, Australia, and how they leveraged NASA-licensed technology from Ames Research Center to develop their groundbreaking breath sensing devices.

Dr Bronwyn Darlington, Founder and CEO from agritech start-up Agscent, featured at the GroWQ Innovation Expo in Longreach attracted 180 attendees, had 26 speakers, two discussion panels, and 30 trade displays.

A game changing new technology set to make an introduction at Beef 2024 next month is Agscent Breath.

Join Dave Lamb, Bronwyn Darlington and Simone Barakat speaking about technology helping producers monitor their livestock’s health and emissions.

Ashley Sweeting from Agscent came to TomKat Ranch to pregnancy test our cattle with the Agscent breath diagnostic prototype they are developing for cattle using NASA nanotechnology sensors.

From agriculture to marketing and agtech, four very different businesses have one element in common: they all benefitted from CSIRO’s Generation STEM Links program.

NSW's natural resources, farming prowess, manufacturing capability and scientific expertise offer a raft of new agrifood opportunities.

The New South Wales government have provided Agscent the support to potential export all over the world.

Dr Darlington found that a NASA sensors used in the detection of harmful chemicals could also detect pregnancy related breath molecules.

Space technology developed by NASA is now being used to literally sniff out pregnancy in cows.

Agscent are reinventing livestock diagnostics. Introducing Agscent Air – simple, accurate and instant monitoring of methane on farm.

Space technology developed by NASA is being used to detect pregnancy in cows from as early as 18 days.

Creating a more affordable, effective alternative to traditional pregnancy test method that can help cattle producers make key decisions earlier.

The big idea that’s using NASA-developed technology to help pregnant cows.

A device that could change the way farmers preg test cattle is a step closer to commercialisation.

A NEW device is being developed by start-up company Agscent to detect pregnancies in cattle using a breath test.

A device is being developed to allow producers to take a breath sample from a cow that can read whether the animal is pregnant or not.

Cows can now be breathalysed to see if they are pregnant, offering farmers a simple alternative to traditional methods.
