Blue Ocean Barns has developed Brominata™, a natural supplement derived from the red seaweed Asparagopsis taxiformis, which significantly reduces methane emissions from cattle. This innovative product allows cows to retain more energy from their feed, thereby minimizing the energy loss associated with burping. By incorporating Brominata into their feed, farmers can enhance the nutritional value available to their livestock while contributing to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. The company emphasizes that Brominata is a 100% natural digestive aid, USDA Certified Organic, and Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS), making it a viable option for farms of all sizes without the need for additional equipment or extensive training.

The efficacy of Brominata in reducing enteric methane emissions has been supported by various studies, indicating reductions of over 80% in beef steers and significant decreases in dairy cows as well. Blue Ocean Barns collaborates with food industry leaders to implement this solution across supply chains, ensuring that corporate partners can meet their sustainability commitments. The company also maintains a registry account with VCS, a global carbon standard, to provide verifiable evidence of greenhouse gas reductions, further solidifying its commitment to sustainable agricultural practices.
