Agolin Ruminant feed additive for cows

The Agolin Ruminant is a plant based in-feed additive to help reduce methane emissions in cows, one of the major sources of greenhouse gas from agricultural production.

Feed additive reduces methane emissions in ruminants

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) says 2 billion of the estimated 50 billion tons of greenhouse gases (GHG) emitted annually come from cattle. One company has created a feed additive that it says can reduce GHG emissions from cattle by 300 million tons per year.
