Asparagopsis, a native red seaweed, is rich in organic compound bromoform, which can reduce methane emissions from livestock.
The seaweed is grown in Tasmania 's Tasmanian coastal waters and needs no irrigation or fertilisers.
More than 40 studies have shown that the seaweed can lower methane from livestock when added to fodder or grain.
Bromoform is a concern because at high levels it has been considered to be carcinogenic in rats and potentially humans.
