The Mike Hosking Breakfast

A common yellow flower could be the secret to cutting methane emissions.

AgrizeroNZ is partnering with Welsh company Agroceutical Products, trialling the use of daffodil extract to cut the methane emissions from livestock.

AgriZeroNZ CEO Wayne McNee told Mike Hosking that it’s early stages still, but they’re excited about the potential of it.

He said that it’s been proven to work in a lab to reduce emissions of ruminant animals, and the work they’re funding is to see if the product will work in the New Zealand farming system.
