Agolin SA, a Swiss based Company which develops and markets feed additives based on botanical compounds, has joined forces with global chocolate producer Barry Callebaut and Gold Standard (GS), a leading carbon reduction project development and verification provider. Together they are establishing a methodology in which dairy producers can become suppliers of low carbon milk. The Labeled Solution develops and markets feed additives based on botanical compounds which allow a reduction of methane emission from animals. These additives are effective, easy to use and safe. Two pilot studies have been established, one in the Netherlands and another in the US, involving 65 farms and over 15,000 cows in total to develop the methodology for the concept. Agolin Ruminant has already been included in dairy and cattle feed demonstrating a decrease in methane released along with an improvement in the return on milk and meat per kilogram of feed.
