Additives like red seaweed can cut cattle methane emissions by 30–90%, helping meet climate goals while sustaining or even boosting productivity.
The study shows how simple tools, when used with care, can help Africa track methane with accuracy and support a cleaner livestock sector.
The outcome will be a national roadmap for reducing methane emissions in livestock, aligned with Kenya’s broader green agenda.
The announcement was made as part of dsm-firmenich’s commitment to scaling up Bovaer, a feed additive developed over 15 years to reduce enteric methane emissions in cattle.
Cows are among the largest agricultural contributors to methane, a potent greenhouse gas released mainly through burping during digestion.
