US company developing a probiotic-based feed additive to reduce methane emissions from dairy cows and improve productivity.
Indiana-based BiomEdit are specialists in microbial discovery to address major challenges in animal health.
Their unique scientific approach identifies microbes that improve an animal’s health and performance, which enables development of probiotics to effectively feed these beneficial microbes to animals.
BiomEdit has discovered naturally occurring microbes that inhibit methanogen activity and simultaneously increase production by repurposing that energy to improve rumen function.
BiomEdit is targeting a 30% reduction in methane emissions from its natural probiotic, and future products could see a 50% reduction with the use of engineered probiotics.
