Intro
Afya Ya Mnyama Digital is a livestock health technology company enabling farmers to monitor animal health in real time and prevent disease-related losses through data-driven insights.
The Problem
Livestock farming is a critical source of income and food security, yet it remains highly vulnerable to disease and inefficiencies in herd management. Farmers often rely on manual observation, meaning diseases are detected only at advanced stages.
At the same time, limited access to veterinary services makes early diagnosis and preventive care difficult. This leads to high mortality rates, reduced productivity, and increased treatment costs, resulting in significant economic losses for farmers.
The Solution
Afya Ya Mnyama Digital provides a sensor-based monitoring platform that continuously tracks key health indicators such as temperature, movement, and behavior. By analyzing this data in real time, the system can detect early signs of disease or stress that would otherwise go unnoticed.
Farmers receive timely alerts and actionable insights, enabling them to intervene earlier, optimize herd management, and improve productivity. This shifts livestock care from a reactive to a proactive model, significantly reducing losses.
In essence, the company brings precision livestock farming to smallholder farmers, transforming animal health management into a predictable and data-driven process.
Currently over 250 farmers onboarded with over 7500 animals monitored with our smart sensors.
The Team
The company is led by Maganga Mabula ( Veterinarian and CEO), alongside a leadership team including Julieth Tarimo (COO) and Dickson Massawe ( Software engineer and CTO), combining veterinary expertise and advanced technical capabilities to build impactful solutions.
