Heat-load index data you can count on.
CDI Livestock delivers hyper-local forecasts and heat-load risk insights, so operators can make informed decisions and safeguard the whole operation.
The livestock industry is highly exposed to weather extremes.
From heat stress and drought to excessive rainfall and flooding, unpredictable weather disrupts animal health, feed production, and farm profitability. A four-day heat event can erase a season of margin, yet most operators still manage it reactively: uninsured, and carrying exposures they cannot name.
Informed decisions, safeguarded operations.
Hyper-local forecasts
Precise 3 km resolution forecasts from the proprietary Indra Weather model, tailored to your exact location, not a regional average.
Climate risk modelling
AI models assess the potential impact of weather events on your livestock, so risk can be mitigated before it lands on the herd.
Actionable insight
Location-specific risk you can plan against: heat-stress events, feed adjustments in drought, preparation for excessive rainfall.
Livestock expertise
A team that understands livestock operations, translating complex climate data into decisions relevant to your specific operation.
With weather patterns changing, heat-load management has never mattered more.
Climate Decision Intelligence, powered by mistEO, is a heat-load management platform for feedlot, dairy, sheep, and other livestock operations. It applies tried and tested heat-load practice, supported by the most current weather modelling available.
The point of difference is the data: alerts and management options built on current models, not decades-old ones, so you can make the best possible decisions for your herd.

“Knowing the Climate Decision Intelligence platform is backed by modern weather modelling, not decades-old data, changes how we manage heat load for the herd.”
What it changes on the ground.
Animal health and welfare
Reduce heat stress, minimise the spread of weather-related disease, and keep livestock healthy year round.
Operational efficiency
Plan for disruption, adjust feed and water management, and allocate resources against the forecast instead of after the event.
Reduced financial risk
Proactive risk management and access to parametric insurance protect the bottom line from weather-related losses.
Informed decisions
A clear view of the climate risks specific to your location, so every call on the herd is backed by data.

Frequently asked questions.
I already manage heat load through another platform. Why switch to CDI?
Most heat-load tools on the market run on models designed more than twenty years ago. Weather patterns have changed. CDI is built on current weather modelling, refreshed continuously, with a modern interface that works on any device, a growing resource library, and new features shipping regularly.
Where does CDI get its data?
CDI integrates satellite imagery, stationary sensors, radar, and third-party feeds. The models are developed with academic and industry experts and refined with machine learning against ground truth.
Will I need training to use the platform?
The interface is built to be picked up quickly. We provide initial onboarding, run regular webinars, and an Australia-based support team is available when you need help.
How much does CDI cost?
Pricing depends on the scale and shape of your operation. Contact us and we will scope it with you.
Can I run a site risk assessment within CDI?
Yes. CDI includes a risk-assessment calculator built on the same publicly available historical data used across the industry, including the annual Risk Assessment Program requirement in Australia.
