Develops IoT-AI monitoring solutions for livestock farming, tracking parameters to enhance animal welfare and productivity.
Based in Genoa, Italy, Cynomys develops Internet of Things and artificial intelligence monitoring solutions designed to track environmental and operational parameters for the livestock farming industry. The company's patented hardware and software system utilizes modular, interconnected devices to continuously measure over 30 specific environmental factors, including ammonia levels, carbon dioxide, particulate matter, temperature, and water consumption. This collected data is processed through a secure cloud platform to provide real-time analytics for livestock farmers, agro-food groups, pharmaceutical companies, veterinarians, and agricultural consultants. Cynomys has secured $2.38 million in total funding, highlighted by a €2.1 million seed investment round led by Farming Future, a national agrifood hub initiated by CDP Venture Capital in collaboration with ToSeed and Partners. The agricultural technology company was officially founded in 2017 by chief executive officer Enrico Carta and his fellow co-founders.
Cynomys has raised $2.5M across 2 funding rounds.

Cynomys is a technology startup specializing in IoT-AI solutions for environmental monitoring in livestock farms. It builds the patented Cynomys Livestock System, a self-contained multisensor device that tracks over 30 parameters—including NH3, CO2, PM10, temperature, humidity, methane, and water consumption—to enhance animal welfare, reduce environmental impact, boost productivity, and optimize farm operations.[1][2][3][4][5] Serving livestock farm managers and technology providers, Cynomys solves critical challenges like GHG emissions, animal health, and efficiency through real-time data access via a secure cloud platform with alerts, visualization, analysis, and integration into automation systems like air conditioners, milking robots, and feeding systems.[1][5] Its recurring revenue model includes calibrated sensors with annual revisions, cloud access, data storage/transfer via embedded IoT SIMs, and all-inclusive support, promoting sustainable, welfare-oriented farming with global impact.[1]
Cynomys was founded in 2017 by co-founders driven by shared interests in sensor technology for environmental conservation, aiming to create solutions for a better world through innovations in livestock monitoring.[1][3] The idea emerged from the need to address livestock sector challenges like productivity, emissions, and animal health using tech, leading to the development of their patented IoT system—the first of its kind for environmental and consumption monitoring in animal farms.[1][2][6] Early traction came from overcoming technical hurdles to pioneer unique monitoring, with pivotal partnerships like Granarolo (via President Giampiero Calzolari) highlighting blockchain, IoT, and AI integration for efficiency and transparency; key team members include CEO Enrico Carta, KAM Fabiana Surace, and IDO Ambra Milani.[1]
Cynomys rides the wave of AgTech and sustainability trends, where IoT-AI addresses livestock farming's pressures from climate change, regulations on emissions, and demands for ethical animal welfare.[1][5] Timing is ideal amid global pushes for green agriculture—tech innovations are essential to cut GHG emissions, improve health/productivity, and meet transparency standards via data-driven insights.[1] Market forces like rising automation in barns, blockchain-IoT synergies, and partnerships with food giants (e.g., Granarolo) favor Cynomys, positioning it to influence the ecosystem by enabling scalable, integrated solutions for competitive, eco-friendly breeding across species.[1][5] As a pioneer, it shapes standards for environmental monitoring, helping farms and tech providers achieve efficiency gains in a sector ripe for digital transformation.[3][6]
Cynomys is poised for expansion through deeper automation integrations, global scaling via partnerships, and AI enhancements for predictive analytics on farm performance. Trends like stricter EU sustainability mandates and precision livestock farming will propel growth, evolving its role from niche innovator to ecosystem leader in welfare-focused AgTech. As the startup that patented farm monitoring, Cynomys exemplifies how IoT-AI turns environmental data into a force for sustainable productivity—primed to "grow together" in making livestock farming conscious and competitive.[1]
Cynomys has raised $2.5M across 2 funding rounds. Most recently, it raised $2.0M Seed in March 2024.
