FutureFeed Pty Ltd was established by CSIRO with investment support from Woolworths Group, GrainCorp, Harvest Road and AGP Sustainable Real Assets/ Sparklabs Cultiv8. The company holds the global IP rights to technology developed by CSIRO, Meat and Livestock Australia and James Cook University.
FutureFeed is commercialising an innovative livestock feed ingredient that utilises a specific type of seaweed, Asparagopsis, which reduces methane emissions by 80% or more. Improved feed efficiencies have also been observed in our early studies, and we are seeking to confirm these observations in a large herd trial whose results will be published in mid-2023.
Livestock feed with FutureFeed is the solution. It could improve farm profitability and will tackle climate change without adverse impact on livestock productivity. FutureFeed may also provide farmers access to other income streams through carbon markets and provide access to premium niche markets through a low carbon footprint and environmentally friendly product where markets and regulation allow.
Our new natural livestock feed ingredient is good for the animals, good for climate change and great for business.
