Our story
Born from a passion for animal welfare and scientific rigour
AnFiTest was founded by Henrietta, with an engineering background she is focused on improving equine and livestock health through better diagnostics. After seeing the limits of current reactive approaches, she set out to build tools that support earlier, data driven decisions.
From an equine and farming family, she identified an opportunity to bring modern diagnostic thinking into everyday animal health management.
Now based at Newburn Riverside, AnFiTest is building practical, field ready technology at the intersection of animal health, bioscience, and diagnostic innovation.
Pre-commercial stage
Our diagnostic technology is currently in development. We are focused on research, validation, and building a platform that can deliver real impact for animals and the people who care for them.
Backed by over £100,000 in early stage grant and investor funding
Supported by grant bodies and early stage investors who share our vision for better animal health diagnostics. We are building the future of equine and livestock care.
