Yea-Sacc, a yeast culture designed for use in ruminant diets by Alltech, has been validated by the Carbon Trust to reduce cattle methane emissions and nitrogen excretion rates.
The Carbon Trust, a global organisation that provides independent advice to businesses, governments and institutions on reducing carbon emissions, formed an opinion based on evidence from public research and on-farm trials demonstrating the efficacy of Yea-Sacc in ruminant diets.
Reduced emissions
The Carbon Trust’s findings on Yea-Sacc highlighted that reduced emissions do not need to come at the expense of improved animal performance.
Yea-Sacc was shown to increase milk yield, milk fat, protein content and nitrogen uptake via improved ruminal bacteria.
Alltech has been working with farmers to help them determine exactly where their operations fit into the emissions picture
Alltech vice-president Matthew Smith said that this recognition from the Carbon Trust is another hugely exciting milestone for Yea-Sacc, the product that put Alltech on the map in the early 1980s.
“For many years, Alltech has been working with farmers to help them determine exactly where their operations fit into the emissions picture and to reduce their carbon footprint.
“The Carbon Trust certification is a significant development for Alltech and for our customers, who are equally as committed to reducing farming’s impact on the environment.”
More details in relation to the product and additional announcements will be shared at the Alltech European Technical Summit to be held in Dublin, Ireland, from 13–15 March 2019.
