Our animals also need to take medication or receive their doses of vaccines. To preserve them, it is important to monitor temperature variations, a mission that the Montpellier startup Koovea has set itself.”

Zoom on the health issues
In addition to the financial losses noted, Adrien Content recalls that a product exposed to temperature excursions can be dangerous for health.”
”
Such a failure actually causes various consequences, such as: – side effects; – a loss of effectiveness of the product; – a death.”
”
Every year, a plethora of pigs, cattle and other farm or pet animals are victims of negligence related to non-compliance with the cold chain. An ineffective vaccine, for example, exposes them directly to a myriad of diseases.”
