Demonstration of Reduced Enteric Methane Emissions in Growing/Finishing Beef Cattle

Projet  de réduire jusqu' 80% des émissions des gaz de fermentation

A 2-year large-scale trial in beef cattle in Alberta, Canada, has successfully demonstrated that a novel feed ingredient, developed by Royal DSM, can be included in commercial feedlot diets to reduce methane emissions by up to 80%, without negative effects on animal health and performance parameters and carcass characteristics
Viresco, DSM and a consortium of Alberta agricultural partners have worked together to demonstrate a feed ingredient for cattle that significantly reduces cattle-based methane emissions. The ingredient can be introduced to regular feeding regimes to reduce the methane produced by each animal, enabling substantial reductions in emissions from Alberta’s beef and dairy industries.
