Contact UsTriple Bio helps cattle farmers increase milk yield and reduce methane by rebalancing the rumen microbiome with a novel lipid-based feed additive.
Triple Bio has developed RumeNRG™, a next generation ruminant nutrition platform that uses lipid chemistry to rebalance the rumen microbiome. By making hydrogen more bioavailable to fermentative bacteria, RumeNRG™ redirects energy away from methane production and towards milk and meat yield. In vitro studies showed a 28% increase in volatile fatty acids — modeling suggests a 5–10% increase in milk yield.

Building a future where cattle farming is no longer a climate liability, but a model for productive, low-emission food systems.
Problem
Livestock greenhouse gas emissions represent >14% of the global carbon footprint, most of which coming from methane emissions beef and dairy farming. Whilst the climate impact of cattle is recognised by many, it is often overlooked that enteric methane production is also a huge efficiency loss. Cows use the equivalent of 20% of the energy required for milk production to instead make methane.
Solution
Triple Bio has developed RumeNRG™, a novel nanomaterial feed additive that rebalances the rumen microbiome, redirecting energy away from methane and towards milk and meat production. The result: a sustained 60–80% reduction in carbon footprint, a 6% increase in milk yield, and a 4–6× return on investment, with no sustainability premium and no change to existing farm practices. By making more energy available from the same feed ration, RumeNRG™ strengthens farmer income while targeting a halving of on-farm emissions, and with herd health as a boundary principle, all development is conducted to the highest ethical standards.
