For example, adding sunflower oil to a typical North American cow diet of corn, distillers’ grain, silage, vitamins and minerals can reduce emissions by about 15 per cent. Most recently, a food additive derived from tropical red seaweed has captured researchers’ interest for its ability to act as a methane inhibitor. Called Asparagopsis taxiformis, this species of red algae has been shown to reduce methane emissions when ruminants are fed a diet containing a small percentage of the seaweed additive.
