Seaweed Compound Shows Major Methane Cuts in Beef Cattle

Seaweed compound shows major methane cuts in beef cattle

Adelaide University researchers have demonstrated that a naturally derived seaweed compound can dramatically reduce methane emissions from beef cattle raised in extensive grazing systems, without harming calves. The study, published in Frontiers in Animal Science, investigated the use of bromoform extract oil, derived from the red seaweed Asparagopsis, in pregnant and lactating Angus cows.

Seaweed Compound Significantly Reduces Methane Emissions in Beef Cattle

Adelaide University scientists have embarked on a groundbreaking endeavor to curb methane emissions from beef cattle by employing a naturally derived compound sourced from seaweed. This innovative research highlights the potential of bromoform extract oil, derived from the red seaweed genus Asparagopsis, to drastically reduce methane release in extensive grazing systems—an important and historically challenging […]
