BNOW Deploys Animal Biodata AI to Strengthen Regional Food Supply Chains
BNOW (BioData Now), a Seoul-based livestock AI company, is advancing a data-driven approach to animal health management through its remote livestock monitoring platform. The system collects and analyzes real-time biometric data from individual animals, giving farms, food companies, and supply chain stakeholders visibility into animal health based on biological signals rather than manual observation or fragmented farm records.
The company's first product under its broader Live X project is LiveCow, an AI-powered cattle health platform that uses an ingestible IoT biosensing capsule to collect internal biometric data from cows. The platform delivers AI-based insights for estrus detection, disease risk monitoring, and calving prediction, helping farms reduce reproductive losses and build more predictable production cycles. The approach aligns with the precision livestock farming movement reshaping animal agriculture globally.
“Food security cannot be solved only at the point of consumption. It must be supported by healthier, more productive, and more predictable farms across the region,” said Donghyun Choo, CEO of BNOW. “BNOW will continue to develop animal biodata AI technology that helps farms reduce losses, improve productivity, and build a more resilient food supply network for Singapore and global markets.”
BNOW Targets Singapore Offshore Food Security Model
For Singapore, a heavily import-dependent market, BNOW's platform offers a new model of upstream food security. Rather than focusing solely on domestic production, the approach aims to strengthen regional supply chain reliability by improving farm-level visibility across supplier countries including Vietnam and Australia. BNOW is currently participating in Echelon Singapore 2026 and advancing partnership discussions in Vietnam as part of its regional expansion strategy.
Expanding Live X Beyond Cattle
The company is also preparing to extend its Live X platform beyond cattle to pigs and poultry, with the goal of building a scalable agtech AI infrastructure for remote animal health and productivity management across global livestock sectors.
