According to Roy Morgan survey¹, 66% of farmers name high capital costs as the primary barrier to AgTech adoption. The uDOSE™ Partnership Program is DIT AgTech’s answer to that problem. We are removing the barrier entirely, so producers can access precision water supplementation from day one without tying up capital in hardware.
Here’s exactly how it works, what’s included, and why the program goes well beyond access to a dosing unit.
What is the uDOSE™ Partnership Program?
The Partnership Program is a 3-year tailored nutrition program that includes the uDOSE™ system at no upfront cost – valued at $9,000. Producers pay for supplements, not hardware. It replaces traditional programs like lick with a high-performance water-soluble supplement range. Built for better absorption, stronger results, and a lower cost per head.
The nutrition program is also built around your herd, your region, and your seasonal goals – with a minimum spend of $12,000 per year. The uDOSE™ system is operational from day one.
How the uDOSE™ system works
The uDOSE™ system connects directly to existing on-farm water infrastructure, turning drinking water into a precise and automated nutrition delivery system for livestock.
It works through a simple, integrated process:
- Integration into existing systems
It connects to standard water sources such as bores, dams, or tank-fed pipelines, without requiring changes to existing infrastructure.
- Precise dosing at the point of water flow
An industrial-grade dosing pump injects supplements directly into the water stream with high accuracy, ensuring consistent delivery.
- Farm-wide distribution through drinking water
The supplemented water is distributed through existing trough networks, delivering uniform nutrition across the entire herd.
- Remote monitoring and control
Producers can monitor and control the system remotely via the uHUB app. From any internet-connected device, you can start or stop dosing, adjust rates, and access real-time data on water flow, intake, and system performance.
Designed for remote conditions, the unit is solar-powered and satellite-connected, ensuring reliable operation even in off-grid environments.
The numbers from the field
Over 170,000 cattle and 200,000 sheep across Australia are supplemented daily through uDOSE™. What producers are seeing*:
- Up to 80% reduction in supplementation and labour costs
- 10-55% improvement in weight gain recorded across multiple sites
- Up to 15% improvement in reconception rates in breeding operations
“We’ve seen an increase in reconception rates of around 15% and an increase of half a body score which equates to 20kg or $60 per head.”
Ben McGlynn, Rocklands Station, Camooweal QLD
“If you’ve got a pipeline through your system, it’s the biggest game changer we’ve ever seen. Because every animal gets the right amount of product.”
Greg Boto, Producer, Nebo QLD
As a result, water reaches every animal, every day. That’s the consistency dry lick can’t replicate.
More than technology – the full DIT AgTech ecosystem
The uDOSE™ system is the foundation. What transforms the hardware into a game-changing production system are the tools that surround it. A comprehensive supplement range, software integration, on-farm monitoring tools, advanced nutrition testing, and a pathway to carbon revenue.
Supplement range. DIT AgTech’s specialty supplements deliver key nutrients to your animals – including protein, phosphorus, and trace elements. The following range is available through the Partnership Program: uPRO ORANGE, uPRO GREEN, uPRO 365, uPRO Mulga, uPRO Forage, uPRO Performance, uCALM, and uTRACE Premium – selected to match your region and seasonal goals. Additional specialty supplements are also available to address specific production challenges, from bloat prevention to fly control.
- uHUB – The uDOSE™ system integrates with the uHUB software platform, allowing you to control dose rates, track supplement use, water flow, and rainfall from your phone or computer.
- uBOT – a remote tank monitoring device – transmits real-time tank levels directly into uHUB via satellite, removing the need for physical site checks.
- Neville The Nutritionist, an AI-powered nutrition advisor, gives producers instant access to research-backed guidance on feed planning, supplement strategies, and nutrition questions. Built for real-world livestock operations.
Carbon reduction and monetisation. The uDOSE™ system doesn’t just cut costs – it can open a new revenue stream. Under DIT AgTech’s carbon project, registered with the Verra VM0041 standard, producers can reduce methane emissions on farm and claim verified carbon credits. uHUB automates the carbon accounting and project verification.
DIT Lab. Water quality, forage, and dung testing, interpreted by DIT AgTech’s in-house nutritionist team. Understanding what your livestock are consuming – and where the nutritional gaps are – is what keeps a nutrition program performing year-round.
Would the Partnership Program suit my operation?
The Partnership Program is built for producers with existing pipeline infrastructure who want to get more from their supplement program.
It suits your operation if there is a focus on improving productivity and animal welfare, while cutting the hours and diesel spent driving out for manual supplementation so that time can be redirected toward higher-value work on the operation.
It is also relevant when data is required to support nutrition decisions, and where carbon reduction and new revenue streams are part of where the operation is heading.
Since launching in April 2026, the program has seen strong uptake – the access model is resonating with producers ready to move but held back by upfront cost.
