Less Methane and More Milk at a working Australian Dairy Farm
A published university-supervised trial was conducted on a commercial dairy farm in Gippsland, Australia. Tracked 31 cows before and after supplementation with Polygain. Results included: Methane reduced by 35%; Milk production increased by 2L (+8%) ; Somatic Cell Count halved
Polygain™ Boosts Lamb Growth and Slashes Methane Emissions
Lambs fed a diet supplemented with Australian-grown sugarcane-derived polyphenols (Polygain™) grew up to an extra 130 grams per day and produced half the methane of lambs fed a standard diet. The study was conducted by researchers at the University of Melbourne. It was presented at the 2022 Nutrition Society Of Australia Conference, with the abstract published in Proceedings of the Nutrition Society.
Methane Reduction Demonstrated in Ruminal Batch Culture Trial
Methane reduction potential verified in standard laboratory technique. The proportion of methane gas reduced for both feedlot and Rhode grass diets
On-farm interventions with Polygain assists dairy cows to recover from milk production drops
As part of regular monitoring on working Australian dairy farms, Polygain was included as an intervention option when milk production rapidly reduced. In many examples, after adding Polygain to the diet, milk production returned to prior levels.
Up to 3x growth at a commercial dairy-beef operation
A commercial trial on a dairy farm using 160 male dairy calves assessed calf health and growth benefits. Those fed an initial and daily ration of Polygain achieved 3x average daily gain versus control calves.
Additional Calf Growth On Working Dairy Farm
Calves with 1% Polygain included in their diet were over 6% larger at the end of a 38-day trial.
Lower Methane Emissions From Pregnant Dairy Cows
On-farm trial in pregnant dairy cows nearing calving showing both a reduction in methane emissions and a lower relative abundance in methane-producing bacteria.
