Asparagopsis taxiformis Research

Explore Asparagopsis taxiformis research and methane reduction trials with ShiLai™ Feed. Globally scaled at 5,000+ tons/year, ShiLai™ leads commercial and academic collaboration for sustainable livestock practices. Ideal for veterinary product developers, feed companies, and universities. 

🌿 Introduction: Pioneering the Science Behind Methane Reduction

ShiLai™ Asparagopsis taxiformis Feed is at the forefront of research and commercialization of Asparagopsis taxiformis, the red seaweed species scientifically proven to reduce enteric methane emissions in ruminants. With a scalable production capacity exceeding 5,000 tons per year, ShiLai™ has transformed a promising scientific discovery into a commercially viable feed additive.

This research hub provides veterinarians, product developers, and researchers with access to up-to-date data, trial results, mechanisms of action, and partnership opportunities.

🧪 Scientific Basis: How Asparagopsis taxiformis Works

Asparagopsis taxiformis contains bromoform (CHBr₃), a naturally occurring compound that inhibits the enzyme methyl-coenzyme M reductase in methanogenic archaea—significantly reducing methane emissions without affecting animal health or productivity.

Key findings include:

• Up to 90% methane reduction in controlled feed trials.
   
• No residue impact on milk, meat, or animal wellbeing.
   
• Improved feed conversion efficiency in many trials.
