The livestock sector accounts for 14.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions (FAO).
Countries worldwide are adopting strategies to reduce methane emissions, including dietary supplements and feed additives.
Pakistan aims to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 20% by 2030 as part of its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement.
Livestock emissions are a significant focus area for achieving these targets.
Methane Reduction: Seaweed supplements can reduce methane emissions by up to 30%.
Enhanced Growth: Cattle fed with seaweed show significant weight gain and better growth rates.
Improved Digestive Health: Seaweed improves digestive efficiency, leading to better nutrient absorption and overall health.
Antioxidant Properties: Rich in minerals and antioxidants, seaweed boosts immune function and productivity.
Initiated in 2023: We started gathering, drying, and compressing seaweed from local coastal waters.
Collaborative Efforts: Partnered with local veterinarians and agricultural experts to conduct extensive trials.
Nationwide Trials: Conducted in Sindh and Punjab, involving a diverse range of cattle and dairy farms.
Reduced by up to 30%.
Cattle showed a 10-15% increase in weight.
Improved by 5-10% due to better health and digestion.
Enhanced immune response and reduced instances of digestive issues.
Significant reduction in methane emissions contributes to Pakistan's environmental goals.
Increased productivity and health of cattle lead to higher profits for farmers.
