Seaweed Feed Supplements

If cows were a country, they would be the world’s third-largest greenhouse gas emitter.

Through mostly burps and the occasional fart, a single cow releases around 250-500 liters of methane a day. They are responsible for 15% of all emissions.

‍As we discussed in our lab-grown meat snippet, humans aren’t changing their eating habits anytime soon. So, addressing the issue at its source is a great way to tackle these emissions head-on.

Researchers have discovered that adding Brominata — a red seaweed — to cow’s feed can drastically reduce their methane emissions. Replacing just 3% of a cow’s diet with this seaweed can result in an 80% decrease in methane emissions.

Companies like Rumin8, Sea Forest, CH4 Global, Sea Stock, Future Feed, Symbrosia, and Blue Ocean Barns are reimagining how we advance animal agriculture.
