Beef and dairy cattle can vary enormously in terms of how much they eat, how fast they grow and how much milk they yield.

Grosvenor Food & AgTech portfolio company Vytelle, monitors individual animal data, such as feed intake 

or changes in behaviour, enabling producers to identify their elite performing cattle, replicating these traits in their offspring through IVF techniques to benefit producers and the environment through a more efficient use of resources.

In 2021, we contributed to a Series A funding round worth £9m in Vytelle, helping agriculture to be more efficient, economically viable, and environmentally sustainable.

For centuries humans have been enhancing livestock to improve resistance and yields. What used to require trial and error over generations can now be achieved in a matter of months.
