Asparagopsis taxiformis is the most effective known solution for reducing methane emissions in ruminant animals—capable of cutting enteric methane by up to 80%.
Yet for years, the biggest barrier wasn’t science—it was scale.

While many startups remained in R&D or pilot mode, ShiLai™ emerged as the first company to bring Asparagopsis into commercial-scale production—delivering feed-grade biomass to partners across Asia, Europe, and the Americas.

So how did they do it?


The Scaling Challenge: From Petri Dish to 5,000+ Tons

Asparagopsis is not a typical crop. Cultivating it at scale demands solving for:

  • 🌱 Seedstock reliability (sporophyte/phylloid consistency)

  • 🧬 Bromoform retention during processing

  • 🏭 Feed-grade compliance (residue, stability, GMP+)

  • 🌊 Climate variability & water access in marine/coastal systems

  • 🔁 Year-round production cycle with minimal ecological footprint


ShiLai™’s Scalable Production Model

🔹 Hybrid Land–Sea Cultivation

ShiLai™ developed a modular hybrid model combining:

  • Controlled aquaculture tanks (land-based biosecurity)

  • Nearshore rope systems (cost-effective biomass accumulation)

  • Closed-loop seawater filtration + UV disinfection

🔹 Cold-Chain Bromoform Protection

Bromoform is volatile. ShiLai™’s custom drying system:

  • Operates at −50 °C freeze-drying or solar-cold dehydration

  • Locks in bromoform activity post-harvest

  • Ensures batch-to-batch potency for feed use

🔹 Feed-Ready Processing & Certification

All outputs are:

  • 🏷️ Packaged in GMP+/HACCP-compliant, animal feed–grade bags

  • 🧪 Accompanied by COA, residue testing, and microbial assay

  • 📦 Shipped in bulk containers or custom pelleting formats


Production & Application Snapshot

Why Scale Matters for the Industry

  • 🔗 Feed integration requires consistency in formulation

  • 🌍 Methane crediting programs need verified emission baselines

  • 📊 Retailers & regulators expect climate data by batch

  • 📦 Global logistics demands predictable volume and supply timelines

By scaling production, ShiLai™ enables real-world deployment—not just white papers.


Final Thoughts: From Innovation to Impact

Many companies talk about seaweed’s potential. ShiLai™ built the infrastructure to deliver it.
With feed partners already incorporating Asparagopsis into commercial trials and low-carbon product lines, the company now stands as a supply chain anchor for climate-smart agriculture.

Industrial scale isn't just about volume—it's about trust, traceability, and timing. And ShiLai™ has delivered all three.
