[QUOTE="Bramble, post: 8995527, member: 829"] Need to do a lot more work on feed additives reducing methane. Feeding them we are trying to stop the rumen bugs working properly. The Australian Cattle Company ran some trials feeding red seaweed, which werent entirely succesful. Methane reduced by 29% (not 80% as previously claimed), cattle growth rates reduced, finishing weights taking longer to achieve. Net result they would need to keep more cattle for longer to maintain the kg of beef output if they continued feeding seaweed. So if part of the drive to reduce methane is to improve efficiency (increased yield/cow so less cows) some of these feed additives may not be the answer if they affect yield/cow [/QUOTE]
