Agrigators Enterprises Pvt Ltd, which operates Pune-based animal nutrition and healthcare firm eFeed, has raised seed funding of $1 million (around Rs 8.2 crore) from venture capital firm Omnivore. 

Omnivore’s investment in eFeed was made through its OmniX Bio, an initiative launched to back early-stage startups across agrifood life sciences. 

As per the startup, the raised funds will be used by eFeed to strengthen its research and development operations, expand its farmer network, and ramp up hiring. 

eFeed | Nutritional Supplements For Livestock

Founded by Kumar Ranjan, Ravi Chauhan and Ankit Patel in 2021, eFeed offers nutritional supplements for livestock and helps the farmers with nutrition advisory so that they can localize nutrition for their animal species and achieve better growth & quality of the animal hence giving them better harvest and income

Some of eFeed’s offerings include customized ration balancing, considering the location of the cattle and available raw materials for feeding, and connecting veterinary doctors to cattle farmers for easy access to medical services. 

Speaking about the development, Kumar Ranjan, Co-founder and Chief Executive at eFeed, said,
