  1. 1. Möjligheten att praktiskt utfodra rödalger till mjölkkor : med syftet att minska metanutsläpp

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and Management

    Author : Ida Frankenberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Asparagopsis taxiformis; Asparagopsis armata; mjölkkor; utfodring; metan;

    Abstract : De senaste åren har flera olika metoder för att minska metanutsläpp från idisslare undersökts, en av dessa är att blanda rödalger i fodret. Rödalgerna Asparagopsis spp. (främst Asparagopsis taxiformis och Asparagopsis armata) har ett högt innehåll av bromoform vilket verkar metanhämmande i våmmen. READ MORE

  3. 2. Methane mitigating feed additives in future dairy production : consumer and producer attitudes and potential effects on dairy products

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Emma Olofsson Laasonen; [2022]
    Keywords : Enteric methane; mitigating strategies; rumen metabolism; 3-Nitrooxypropanol; Asparagopsis taxiformis;

    Abstract : Enteric methane emitted from ruminant metabolism is the most prominent greenhouse gas produced in livestock production. Mitigation strategies in the form of different types of methane reducing feed additives are approaching the market in near future. The effects of implementing the feed additives into the dairy sector was evaluated in this study. READ MORE

  4. 3. The viability of feeding seaweed to cows. An assessment of the key opportunities and barriers facing the commercialization of factory-produced Asparagopsis taxiformis as a methane-reducing additive for dairy cows in Sweden.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

    Author : Cora Taylor; [2021]
    Keywords : Asparagopsis taxiformis; methane-reducing additive; commercial viability; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : An estimated 6% of human greenhouse gas emissions are the result of enteric methane production by cows. Asparagopsis taxiformis, a semi-tropical alga, is one solution. Supplementation of this alga to cows at a small percentage of their daily intake has reduced methane emissions by over 98% in trials. READ MORE
