Feed additive that converts to bromoform in the rumen, reducing methane emissions by 80-95% with 4-11% improvement in feed conversion.
Late-stage trials underway; commercial launch planned for late 2027 in Brazil.

The feed additive is a prodrug, inert when consumed but activated by natural rumen digestion.
Rumen enzymes break down the prodrug into bromoform, which immediately acts on methanogenic bacteria.
Bromoform inhibits the enzymes that archaea use to produce methane, cutting enteric emissions sharply.

Methane suppressor, livestock feed additive
Rumin8 is an Australian climate tech company developing cost-effective feed additives to reduce methane emissions from cattle. It uses a proprietary prodrug approach that converts into bromoform inside the rumen, aiming to decarbonize 100 million cattle by 2030.
