Tridge summary

The article explores the potential of introducing low-lying species in the South Korean dairy industry to enhance competitiveness, reduce manure, and improve environmental issues. These species, which are small, efficient, and have a high non-solid content in their crude oil, could help reduce feed costs, improve profits, and promote national health. Additionally, they could help decrease greenhouse gas emissions by reducing manure and providing better quality milk for cheese-making.

However, challenges such as high cost of fertilized eggs and potential impact on the beef cattle industry need to be addressed.
