About Us

Formed to develop and commercialize on-site diagnostic tools for animals, the founders of Parasight System Inc. have successfully commercialized veterinary medical devices and technologies and have developed strong relationships with over 100 veterinary clinicians. Parasight is led by a seasoned MBA entrepreneur with proven success in raising capital and bringing new technologies to market. Prototyping, market verification, marketing, and manufacturing management are all done in house, with various consultants supplementing the company’s needs in mechanical and electrical design, software and web development, manufacturing, distribution, and sales.

Parasight System Inc developed an instant digital fecal analyzer for horses, cattle, sheep and goats (additional species support coming soon!). Parasight also provides a mail-in service to allow professionals and animal owners to send in samples for analysis using this same technology.

The company was founded in 2014 and is based in Lexington, Kentucky.
