In this episode, we will introduce you to the 2025 Nexus Innovation Award winners. They were recently recognized at the Professional Dairy Producers Business Conference.
One of the award winners is an innovative new lending marketplace that can help producers find funding for tech-centered projects. Another winner has a sort gate that uses electromagnets and springs to operate and makes less noise during operation. One is a new feed pad design to capture rainwater and keep it out of lagoons. Another winner has a rumen-protected feed product that looks promising to improve feed efficiency. Finally, one is an automated hoof bath with onboard computer vision to spot digital dermatitis earlier.
Congratulations to the 2025 Nexus Innovation Award winners!
