New algae feed could reduce agricultural methane emissions by 90%

International company CH4 Global plans to launch a new Methane Tamer Beef Feedlot for cattle in the Australian market. In the message of the company, it is indicated that in the future the company intends to bring this feed to the world market.

The raw material from which it is made became a feature of the feed - along with traditional feed components, the Asparagopsis algae is included in the composition, the company reports. According to the company, cattle on this feed quickly gain weight, as the feed retains all the nutrients found in other varieties of feed, and also aids in digestion. However, the main advantage of the new feed will be the reduction of methane production in the rumen of cattle - according to the company, emissions of harmful gas can be reduced by 90%.

The company noted that the new feed will not affect the quality of beef, the texture will remain the same, and no foreign impurities will be added to the taste. After the feed is tested in the Australian market, the company will supply it to the global market.
