Non-surgicalNon-hormonal

The first practical alternative to surgical castration.

For more than fifty years, it has been the only option available. Nutt Bio is building the alternative — non-surgical, non-hormonal, and shaped from the start by the producers who will use it.

What we're building

The only alternative designed with the farmer, the farmhand, and the pig in mind. There's nothing else like it.

01

The only non-surgical, non-hormonal option

Every alternative explored so far has been either surgical or hormonal. Nutt Bio's approach is neither — which is what makes it the first genuine choice producers have been offered.

02

Built with Tosh Farms, not just for them

We developed this alongside Tosh Farms, a top US pork producer and an investor in the company. Their barns, their crews, and their numbers shaped it — so it fits the way farms actually run.

03

A team that gets it

The founders have more than twenty years of biochemistry and fifteen years of commercial swine practice between them. This was the only way to build this successfully.

Producers care deeply about their animals and their people and they are always on the lookout for ways to improve. But until now, solutions missed the mark on cost, safety, or workflow. We set out to change that.

Built with producers

Validated where it has to work — in the barn.

Tosh Farms is a top US pork producer and a strategic partner and investor in Nutt Bio. Working with them from the beginning means we are not designing something farmers might adopt in theory. We are building something their crews have already told us they would use.
