Feanix is a farm-focused biotech and software company that automates genetic and herd-management decisions for dairy operations. Its Autopilot product combines whole-genome sequencing, herd-management data (DairyComp, milk records, feed, health, activity monitors), and farm-specific economics into a machine-learning prediction engine that prices every cow on the farm’s actual economics. Autopilot converts trillions of datapoints into ranked, actionable recommendations (breed, beef, DNB, sell, cull, watchlist) that sync into existing farm systems and prioritize profit rather than generic genetic rankings. The platform is built to reduce low-value replacements, improve semen allocation, maintain herd-size targets, and accelerate economic gain for farms.
