We dig into how Vytelle is changing the game in cattle production. Founded in 2015, Vytelle has grown into a global force in genetic improvement, recently being ranked as the #392 fastest-growing tech company in North America by Deloitte.
We begin by breaking down the basics of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and why hormone-free IVF offers cattle producers a more natural, lower-stress, and scalable alternative to traditional embryo programs. Through Vytelle ADVANCE, producers can collect eggs weekly—even from pregnant cows—leading to shorter generation intervals and more rapid genetic gain.
Next, we explore Vytelle INSIGHT, a powerful AI-powered platform that turns data into genetic decisions. Combined with Vytelle SENSE—their real-time feed intake and in-pen weight tracking system—INSIGHT helps identify the top-performing animals and guides smart, targeted mating decisions.
You’ll hear real-world stories from feedlots and seedstock operations using Vytelle to identify elite cattle, boost feed efficiency, and drive profitability. Whether you raise show cattle, run a dairy, or manage a cow-calf operation, Vytelle’s tools deliver practical advantages that make a difference.
We also discuss how these technologies are shaping the future of livestock genetics—making it more predictive, efficient, and sustainable. This is an episode for anyone looking to do more with less and take the guesswork out of herd improvement.
