The Australian government has awarded GrainCorp A$500,000 (US $366,442) to study the stability of a methane-reducing seaweed additive in livestock feed. GrainCorp is one of six successful applicants that received a grant through the Methane Emissions Reduction in Livestock (MERiL) program, a major initiative by the government to support the agriculture sector to trial low-emissions livestock feed technologies. […] The MERiL program supports the development of a viable Asparagopsis industry as well as FutureFeed a partnership between GrainCorp, CSIRO and other investors, to take an innovative Asparagopsis-based feed product to market worldwide.
