We believe reducing methane should be an opportunity, not a burden.
SeaGraze® can help.
All it takes is a sprinkle.
Breakthrough research has shown that adding just a sprinkle of this seaweed to livestock feed reduces livestock methane emissions by over 80%.
Safe and effective for all livestock.
Maintains ruminant health to produce high quality animal products
Provides a source of vitamins and minerals, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids
Supports reproductive health with naturally occurring Iodine

How SeaGraze® Works
During the enteric fermentation part of the cow’s digestive process, SeaGraze™ inhibits the formation of methane without impacting the overall digestion that helps the cow gain weight and produce milk.
How does enteric fermentation work?
1. Microbes in the stomach help to break down carbohydrates from plants into volatile fatty acids (VFAs)
2. The VFAs are absorbed into the bloodstream where they are used for energy, growth and maintenance of the animal
3. This process generates hydrogen (H2) and carbon dioxide (CO2)
4. Another group of microbes coverts these chemicals into methane, which cows expel through burps
Are consumers willing to pay a premium price for milk and beef sourced from cows fed SeaGraze®?
With partners at SightX and Roberts Environmental Center, we discovered something incredible: consumers are willing to pay a premium for climate-friendly milk and beef sourced from SeaGraze™-fed cows.
Is Low Emissions the New Organic?
The findings in the survey indicate that consumers are not only willing to pay higher prices for SeaGraze™-fed products but also highlight the perception of "low emissions" as a new standard comparable to organic.
FAQs
-
Asparagopsis taxiformis (seaweed) is the only ingredient in SeaGraze® and has been shown in a number of studies to aid in digestion and reduce enteric methane emissions by 80%. SeaGraze® supports immune, metabolic, reproductive, and digestive function in livestock.
-
SeaGraze® is a concentrated source of minerals, vitamins, amino acids, and polysaccharides which contain prebiotic properties. Seaweed are powerful bioaccumulators, absorbing nutrients from the seawater directly through their fronds. Land plants, in contrast, can only feed from the limited minerals present around their roots. The trace metals are essential for proper immune and thyroid. Specialized compounds found only in this seaweed species reduce enteric methane production dramatically in the rumen. Naturally chelated, SeaGraze® is bioavailable and readily utilized. It only takes small amounts to deliver benefits to livestock at all stages of life.

All of our Asparagopsis taxiformis (seaweed, aka limu kohu) is grown and processed in Kailua-Kona, Hawai’i.

Blend SeaGraze® as a percentage of grain and silage rations, or free choice alone or with salt. Feed 1/2 oz of SeaGraze® per 200 lbs of body weight.
Ruminants tend to self-regulate free-choice consumption of SeaGraze® with recommended mineral intake rates. When feeding SeaGraze® free choice, provide a covered mineral feeder and ensure access to salt and clean water.

You sure can, and we are here to help! By partnering with us for methane measurements, Symbrosia is able to verify the amount of reduced methane emissions, and we will then apply for a carbon offset on your behalf through the existing VERRA protocol or state markets (if applicable). We’ll work on your behalf to turn your carbon credits into a new income stream!
