OUR SERVICES

At Impetus, our purpose is to support and enhance animal welfare throughout the supply chain by working closely with key industry stakeholders. Our team brings extensive expertise in animal welfare, compliance, infrastructure design, and training. We collaborate with farmers, transporters, feedlot operators, processors, government agencies, and other industry partners to help reduce risks before they escalate, respond effectively to challenges when they arise, and shape policies that drive sustainable outcomes.

Our services are designed to mitigate risk, improve conformance and create better outcomes for all involved in animal production and processing. Whether it’s preventing potential issues, resolving operational challenges, or ensuring best practices, we provide the tools, knowledge, and support required to build and maintain high standards.
