Improving on nature through science
>70%
methane knockdown over three months
Reduce CH 4
every cow with a bolus for six months is equivalent to one car off the road for one year
Inhibit CH 4
our bolus will slow release a blocker to the production of the methane from methanogens
The reduction in methane emissions from one dairy cow over the course of a year saves emissions equivalent to an 18-hour, non-stop flight
Ruminant BioTech’s solution is a naturally occurring organic compound proven to be powerful and highly effective in reducing the amount of methane produced by ruminants. The compound is synthesised to ensure reliable, high-quality and pure supply. Our team of scientists has developed a method to achieve controlled release of the active ingredient over an extended period .
The delivery system is a bolus—a capsule designed to reside in the largest stomach of ruminant animals—that releases a constant and consistent dose of the active ingredient. This ensures there are no peaks and troughs in efficacy, and methane production remains consistently suppressed.
Current testing shows that the Ruminant BioTech bolus achieves methane reduction exceeding 70% over a period of three months. We are continuously improving the product to extend methane reduction for up to six months, with a guaranteed minimum reduction of 70% over that timeframe.
If we can treat 25% of the world’s ruminants with our product, the net reduction in GHG emissions equates to removing 300 million cars from the road globally
The Benefits are multifaceted
Benefit to countries
those with GHG emission reduction targets that have a large livestock sector will have a tool to substantially reduce their overall emissions and meet Kyoto commitments without penalties
Benefit to regulators
they will have a product they can rely on to reduce GHG gas emissions and put into their inventory
Benefit to farmers
they will have access to products for ruminant animals, across all farming systems, enabling low GHG emitting, and sustainable farming
Benefit to corporates
will enable corporates with a zero-emissions plan in the food sector (e.g. Nestle), to realise their targets
