How AI is used

ZELP is an agricultural technology suite consisting of wearable hardware and a data analytics platform. It is designed for livestock farms, ranches, and agricultural researchers who monitor cattle emissions in real-world settings.

The system includes ZELP Sense for continuous measurement of methane and carbon dioxide, and ZELP Mitigate, a non-chemical device designed to oxidize methane into carbon dioxide and water vapor. Data is centralized in ZELP Insight, a browser-based dashboard that provides insights into individual animals and herds.

Buyers should note that ZELP Sense is available for pre-order, with delivery expected in the second half of 2026. Users need WiFi connectivity to offload data from the devices to servers for processing, though the hardware supports local storage for intermittent connectivity.

Key Features

  • ZELP Sense Wearable

    A device that measures methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and estimates dry matter intake (DMI).

  • ZELP Mitigate Device

    A non-chemical tool designed to oxidize methane from cattle and provide a record of mitigated emissions.

  • ZELP Insight Dashboard

    A mobile-optimized analytics platform for viewing emissions data, herd insights, and health alerts.

  • Animal Welfare Monitoring

    Sensors that track feeding, rumination, and activity to support health-related alerts.

  • Machine Learning Processing

    Uses ML models to process sensor data into emissions and welfare insights.

Use Cases

  • GHG Baseline Assessments

    Establishing greenhouse gas inventories and baseline emissions for livestock operations.

  • Carbon Credit Generation

    Using Gold Standard methodology to support the generation of verified carbon insets and offsets through methane oxidation.

  • Nutrition and Genetics Research

    Monitoring how diet changes or feed additives impact methane emissions over time.

  • Animal Health Tracking

    Using activity and rumination data to identify cows that may require attention.
