Poland: Red seaweed, a feed additive that inhibits methane production?

Two research groups are preparing to commercially introduce red seaweed as an additive to cattle feed. It turned out that they almost completely stopped the production of methane. In an effort to bring climate change to unprecedented levels, a feed additive that dramatically reduces cows' methane production is both exciting and extremely desirable. Methane is obviously one of the worst of the so-called greenhouse gases, and the way red seaweed (Asparagopsis) stops cattle from producing methane is not complicated. In the digestive tract, it simply prevents the hydrogen from bonding to the carbon atoms, so that the cows expel very little methane into the air. The taste of red seaweed is good (at least it is enough to feed it at a very low level, e.g. 0.5 percent) and has no apparent effect on the quality of milk and meat from including it in beef or milk rations. At least one study has also shown that red seaweed causes the same daily gain in beef cattle fed less than would ...
