Rumin8 is a Perth-based, agriculture-focused, climate technology company using pharmaceutical technology to reproduce and stabilise nature’s solutions to make affordable feed supplements that reduce methane emissions from livestock.
The patented technology it pioneered stabilizes the target compound (Tribromomethane) using a highly scalable, repeatable and low-cost pharmaceutical process.
Incorporated into feed supplements, it targets the methanogenic pathways in the rumen of livestock. By reducing ruminant methane, it enables the animal to convert otherwise lost energy into increased productivity for the animal to create a compelling value proposition for farmers.
The Company is currently perfecting several formulations and delivery modalities to suit diverse livestock production systems – including grassfed cattle – to provide low-effort and affordable solutions to producers.
Rumin8 is on a mission to decarbonise 100 million cattle by 2030.
