There was no shortage of innovation at the International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE) 2025. Themes like automation, food safety, and data quality took the spotlight. The industry faces regulatory uncertainty, threats of an HPAI epidemic, and global supply chain disruptions. This year, technology and data won the show. Ancera was at the center of these conversations, debuting the Apollo Food Defense System, presenting insights on Salmonella monitoring, automation, and pathogen testing. If that wasn’t enough, we also unveiled Precision Downtime, a new approach to managing downtime that will maximize resource efficiency and farm productivity.

Turkey Producers Step into the Data-Driven Future with Ancera
A New Partner in Precision and Profits
At Ancera, our mission is clear: defend the global food supply by detecting and eliminating threats before they cause harm.
Today, we’re excited to announce our next frontier—expansion into the turkey industry, protecting the poults, hens, and toms that feed millions of Americans.
For years, our cutting-edge platform has transformed animal health and productivity by delivering controlled data and analytics systems that boost margins and food safety, from live operations to the processing plant.
In 2024, we partnered with early-adopter turkey producers to fine-tune our platform for their unique challenges. Now, Ancera is ready to bring precision data expertise to the entire turkey industry.

Why Turkey?
It's no secret that the turkey industry is going through a tough time - disease outbreaks, competition from other proteins, and trade conditions make a margin-intensive business even more challenging.
Turkey production faces distinct live operations and processing costs:
- Seasonal grow-outs: Longer cycles expose barns to greater microbial risks.
- Costly, slow diagnostics: High expenses and long turnaround times delay action.
- Escalating input costs: Antibiotics, feed additives, and interventions eat into margins.
- Regulatory hurdles: Ground meat products face high recall and compliance risks.
Without controlled, actionable data, production and food safety decisions rely on subjective judgment, risking inefficiency and loss.
What Ancera Brings to the Table:
Ancera offers a progressive, modern system of record, equipping turkey producers with the tools to detect and eliminate risks while maximizing profitability.
- Precision Farming: Identify disease and bacterial threats in specific barns before they impact production.
- Optimized Process Control: Analyze incoming pathogen loads to the plant for efficient and precise kill steps, improving safety and margins.
- Product Verification: Validate feed additives and other inputs to ensure they deliver value, not unnecessary costs.
Turkey is not just "broiler 2.0." Your birds are different.
The way you deliver and raise them is different. Your microbial threats are different—and so are Ancera’s solutions. Our platform harnesses the individual properties that make your production system different to empower smarter, data-driven decisions tailored to your operations.
