 Project objective

'Armenta Ltd, was established to address the most-costly disease affecting dairy farming today: Bovine Mastitis. Mastitis is the most pressing disease affecting cows, however antibiotics are the only available option worldwide - close to 50% of antibiotics are used in food producing animals. The continued use of antibiotics in the treatment and prevention of infections of dairy cows has a direct effect on fostering Anti-Microbial Resistance (AMR), an urgent matter of particular public interest. The continued use of antibiotics also weakens the cow’s health, decreasing its milk production and eventually, weak cows are removed from the herd, causing high economic losses that can reach €2.4B per year in Europe alone. Armenta was therefore established to address these pressing economic effects, with a revolutionary way of using APT. Armenta developed innovative non-invasive; antibiotics free therapies based on acoustic pulse technology (APT). APT has been used for over 20 years in human healthcare treating inflammatory diseases. Armenta employs experts in acoustic pulse treatment and engineering, mastitis researchers, ex-dairy farmers and dairy farming operation, bringing their skills and proficiency into developing the optimal solutions for bovine mastitis. Armenta aims at becoming a leader in 1) fighting the spread of AMR 2) boosting the dairy economy giving €1.4B cash back to the EU farmers each year 3) increasing cow’s welfare and longevity. Moreover, it aims at being considered the #1 alternative to antibiotics, endorsed by leading international organization. '
