Problem
Livestock farming contributes significantly to methane emissions, a potent greenhouse gas, exacerbating climate change. Preventative antibiotic use in animal rearing, driven by intensive production practices, leads to antimicrobial resistance, posing a threat to both animal and human health. Current farming practices often strain farmer economics, making it difficult to produce food sustainably.
Solution
Mootral develops natural feed supplements, including Enterix™ for cattle and Xaloo™ for poultry and piglets, designed to reduce methane emissions and enhance animal health. Enterix™ has demonstrated a significant reduction in methane emissions from cattle while also improving milk yields. Xaloo™ utilizes a proprietary blend of phytogenics to support gut health, nutrient absorption, and immune response in poultry, newborn, and weaned piglets, calves, and rabbits. By improving animal health and productivity, Mootral aims to eliminate the need for preventative antibiotics, improve farmer economics, and mitigate the environmental impact of livestock farming. The company also offers CowCredits, a carbon credit system designed to drive finance back into agriculture.
