Smart livestock health ecosystem
Smarter livestock health.
Safer food.
Malsaak is building an integrated livestock health ecosystem combining Malsaak-enabled field diagnostics with its own digital platform, AI-assisted decision support, IoT livestock monitoring, and educational content for farmers and veterinary professionals — all designed for the realities of rural livestock farming.
The challenge
Livestock health decisions are often made
with limited information.
In rural Kyrgyzstan, limited access to modern diagnostic tools and veterinary support increases the risk of late detection, economic loss and unnecessary antibiotic use.
Limited diagnostics
Veterinary and ultrasound access is limited in rural areas
Access to livestock ultrasound is limited outside major cities, reducing opportunities for early diagnosis and reproductive monitoring in rural areas.
8.7M livestock · 1,380 veterinarians
Reactive treatment
Antibiotics are often used without veterinary guidance
Fear of losing livestock, combined with limited knowledge about appropriate treatment, can lead farmers to use antibiotics without veterinary guidance.
Field insight
What farmers told us
During customer discovery interviews, farmers repeatedly described fear of losing valuable livestock, limited access to modern diagnostic tools such as livestock ultrasound, and making treatment decisions without professional veterinary guidance.

About Malsaak
Built in Kyrgyzstan for the realities of rural livestock farming.
Malsaak is a livestock health technology startup from Kyrgyzstan, built around the realities of livestock farming in mountainous and remote communities. We are developing practical solutions shaped by the needs of farmers and veterinary professionals working in the field.
Our story
It started with a question: What drives unnecessary antibiotic use in livestock?
In Kyrgyzstan, unnecessary and poorly informed antibiotic use in livestock can put animal health and food safety at risk. Malsaak began by exploring what drives these treatment decisions in rural farming communities.
Through field research and direct engagement with farmers and veterinary professionals, we identified a critical gap: rural livestock communities have limited access to modern animal health technologies, timely diagnostics and reliable animal health information.
This insight shaped Malsaak into more than a single digital tool. We began building a connected livestock health ecosystem designed to support earlier detection, better-informed treatment decisions and more responsible antibiotic use.
Our mission
Build an accessible livestock health ecosystem for better-informed care.
Our mission is to improve access to timely diagnostics and reliable animal health information for farmers and veterinary professionals in mountainous and remote communities — supporting earlier detection, better-informed treatment decisions and more responsible antibiotic use.
Team
