Episode Synopsis


Reducing Methane with Red Seaweed: New Research FindingsIn this episode of The Moos Room, Brad dives into a groundbreaking research study on feeding red seaweed to dairy cows to reduce methane emissions. Conducted at the University of Minnesota’s research center, this six-month study demonstrated a 30% reduction in methane emissions without negatively impacting milk production. Brad discusses key findings, including changes in cow efficiency, milk composition, and the microbiome, while also addressing concerns about bromide levels in milk. Additionally, he covers a University of New Hampshire study on the effects of Agolin, an essential oil supplement that increased milk and fat production.
