Summary
CSIRO, James Cook University (JCU) and Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) under the DAFF National Livestock Methane Project have identified a particular species of red seaweed macroalgae that improves fermentation characteristics and has enhanced methane reducing properties. This seaweed is also rich in minerals, vitamins, proteins and polysaccharides (Project Title: NLMP - A Seaweed Supplement to Reduce Methane Emissions in Ruminant Livestock).
Impact Innovation Group Pty Ltd was engaged by the partners to prepare a short commercialisation plan to help guide the introduction of the seaweed into the Australian livestock feed market. Investment partners are now being sought. For further information please contact MLA.
