Commercial production of methane-reducing seaweed could help livestock farmers reduce carbon emissions while boosting productivity, new research by AgriFutures Australia and the Commonwealth Bank reveals.
Estimates for the capital requirements for commercially producing methane-reducing seaweed to improve the sustainability and productivity of livestock vary widely, but Australian farmers are leading innovation in the field, new research by AgriFutures Australia and the Commonwealth Bank shows.
Red seaweed Asparagopsis taxiformis has generated considerable interest for its potential to significantly reduce methane emissions from livestock, but until now there has been little understanding of the capital requirements needed for successful large scale, commercial production.
