Asparagopsis Taxiformis

Asparagopsis taxiformis, the methane-reducing red seaweed, is rapidly being integrated into livestock production systems around the world. With verified reductions of up to 80% in enteric methane emissions, this natural feed supplement is transforming the way ruminants are fed—and how climate targets are met.

But for feed manufacturers, nutritionists, and farmers, the key question remains:
How exactly do you add Asparagopsis to your feed mix?
This guide breaks down the practical steps, inclusion rates, formulation strategies, and handling tips for incorporating ShiLai™ Asparagopsis into commercial and on-farm diets.

What Forms Does ShiLai™ Asparagopsis Come In?

ShiLai™ offers multiple feed-ready formats designed to fit seamlessly into modern feed systems:

🧪 Fine powder – best suited for premix and research trials
🟤 Granules – for bulk feed integration and reduced dust
🔁 Pellet-compatible concentrate – compatible with TMRs and pelleting equipment
📦 Custom blends – for manufacturers developing low-emission feed brands

All formats meet HACCP and GMP+ feed safety standards and maintain active bromoform content for methane inhibition.

Recommended Inclusion Rates

Research trials and field data suggest optimal inclusion levels of:

✅ 0.2–0.4% of total dry matter intake (DMI)
✅ For dairy cows: ~50–70 grams/day
✅ For beef cattle: 60–80 grams/day depending on weight
✅ For sheep: 5–10 grams/day

These low inclusion rates ensure no impact on feed palatability or intake, while delivering strong methane suppression.

Feed Mixing Strategies

ShiLai™ Asparagopsis can be integrated into:

🟩 TMR (Total Mixed Rations): Direct addition with proper micro-ingredient blending
🧫 Pelleted feed: Incorporated pre-pelleting; withstands moderate processing temperatures
🔬 Premixes: Blended into vitamin/mineral packs for easy on-farm application
🐄 Top-dress applications: For trials or individual animal dosing under supervision

Handling and Storage Tips

🧊 Cool, dry storage: Avoid direct sunlight and moisture
🚫 Do not overheat during feed processing to preserve active compounds
📆 Shelf life: 6–12 months depending on packaging
🧴 Use sealed containers and avoid contamination with molasses or acids

Is Training or Technical Support Available?

Yes. ShiLai™ provides:

👩‍🔬 Onboarding guides for nutritionists and formulation teams
📈 Trial protocol templates for university labs or pilot farms
🤝 Ongoing support for feed mills developing methane-reducing product lines
🧪 Sample requests for in vitro or in vivo research

Final Thoughts: Feed Innovation Starts with Practical Integration

The methane-reducing potential of Asparagopsis taxiformis is scientifically proven—but its commercial value depends on how easily it can be integrated into existing feed systems. With feed-safe formats, micro-inclusion dosing, and expert technical support, ShiLai™ makes methane reduction practical, scalable, and cost-effective.

If you're looking to lead the shift toward low-carbon livestock nutrition, start with how you formulate your feed.
