Scientists have developed a feed for cows that reduces methane emissions by 90%
Scientists have developed a feed additive for cattle that can reduce methane emissions by up to 90%. The new technology was presented by Agrosintex, a biotechnology startup based in Rosario. The company has already secured investment and is preparing to launch the product on the market.
This was reported by UkrAgroConsult.
The company has created a special feed additive for cows that significantly reduces methane production during digestion. According to the developers, this is one of the most promising ways to reduce the impact of livestock farming on climate change.
The livestock sector accounts for about 10% of global warming due to methane emissions, so such technologies are considered crucial for the industry’s environmental transformation.
The product takes the form of a granulated feed developed by the company’s biotechnologists. Laboratory tests show that the supplement not only reduces emissions but also improves animal digestion by 8–12%, promotes weight gain, and lowers the risk of disease.
The project’s founders plan to scale up production after additional testing and attract new investments. They also aim to make the technology accessible to farmers in various countries, combining environmental sustainability with economic benefits.
