Pasture treatment for improved carbon sequestration and reduction of livestock production greenhouse gas emissions

摘要

The present invention provides compositions and methods for reducing harmful atmospheric gases and/or precursors thereof using livestock feed additives and/or supplements. In a preferred embodiment, a multipurpose composition comprising one or more beneficial microorganisms and/or one or more microbial growth by-products is applied to the feed of livestock animals and/or fields or pastures where the livestock animals graze. In some embodiments, the composition controls methanogenic bacteria. In some embodiments, the composition improves carbon sequestration in a field or pasture by promoting plant health and/or growth.
