PondiFarm develops a smartphone-native, AI-powered mobile application that estimates the body weight of livestock animals through non-invasive computer vision and 3D reconstruction.
No dedicated hardware. No physical restraint. No fixed infrastructure.
The Latin root pondus means weight, but also considered evaluation: that which deserves to be measured with care. PondiFarm carries this idea into the modern farm. Our mobile application allows farmers, veterinarians and zootechnicians to obtain a reliable weight estimate of any livestock animal in seconds, by simply pointing a standard smartphone at the animal.
Traditional weighing is operationally costly, stressful for the animal, and frequently inaccurate. Existing AI-based alternatives require dedicated cameras, smart collars or fixed installations that price out small and medium farms. PondiFarm eliminates all of this.
The application is designed from inception with an open, integration-ready architecture: it interoperates with the broader digital ecosystem of the modern farm, including feeding systems, herd management software, animal identification registries and precision agriculture tools. One simple device — the smartphone every farmer already owns — becomes the entry point into a precision livestock workflow.
External collaborations selected on the basis of scientific complementarity, not convenience.
A biosensor research laboratory provides ad-hoc sensors to objectively quantify the differential stress response between conventional and PondiFarm-based weighing, converting the welfare claim from narrative into instrument-based scientific evidence.
A veterinary university faculty operating under the One Health framework delivers independent scientific validation of the welfare and physiological dimensions of the methodology.
A polytechnic agricultural school provides zootechnical field expertise and access to a regional network of professional beef-cattle producers, enabling structured deployment under real operating conditions.
A leading Limousine breeder serves as the commercial pilot, ensuring validation on a high-value European cattle breed of reference, with documented economic and welfare relevance.
PondiFarm is proposed by Euro Union Consult, Lda — a Portuguese SME with consolidated capital, a full-time multidisciplinary team, and a clear focus on European projects and digital solutions for decision-making.
PondiFarm is structurally trans-European with built-in Lusophone scalability to Latin America — from project inception.
SME headquarters, scientific validation, field trials and primary commercial pilot.
Continuity of the originating research line and access to the wider Italian agritech network.
Formal collaboration with a leading Latin American deep-tech innovation ecosystem via the Lusophone bridge.
PondiFarm contributes directly to three core strategic priorities of the European Union, with measurable scientific and economic impact across the entire livestock value chain.
Precision feeding strategies enabled by accurate and frequent weight measurement directly reduce the environmental footprint of livestock production.
Instrument-based, scientifically validated evidence of improved animal welfare aligns with the European Union's strategic commitments on ethical food production.
European-developed, European-validated AI strengthens EU sovereignty in a strategic agritech segment currently dominated by non-EU providers.
Whether you are a research partner, an investor, a livestock professional or a European institution — we welcome conversations that build the next generation of welfare-validated precision farming.
