🎉 Big news! We've teamed up with Gelato Messina to work towards a greener future for dairy farming🍦💥 Together, we're trialling our innovative feed additives designed to cut methane emissions, improve efficiency, and enhance quality 🐮✨ This collaboration is a milestone in the journey toward low-emission food production. It’s the first step toward scaling our sustainable dairy farming solutions. This partnership paves the way for large-scale adoption, starting with Messina’s dairy supply and beyond 💚 Watch this video to hear from our co-founder, Alex Carpenter and Messina's Director and Head Farmer, Steve Arnold on the ground at their dairy operation in Numurkah, Victoria. #Number8Bio #GelatoMessina #MethaneReduction #DairyInnovation #SustainableFarming

That's a wrap! 🌟 We've had an incredible few days at the Sustainable Dairy Alliance Fall Meeting and the Sustainable Agriculture Summit, and we couldn’t be more energised about the future of sustainable agriculture. The journey started with an insightful tour of the Cargill R&D facilities in Elk River. From there, we dove deep into the latest trends and challenges in the U.S. dairy industry led by Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy alongside some of the brightest minds in the field. At the Summit, the Number 8 bio team had the pleasure of welcoming countless visitors to our expo booth. The enthusiasm and curiosity about our solution for reducing enteric methane was palpable! We had meaningful conversations with farmers, suppliers, processors, retailers, academics, and more — all united by a shared mission to advance sustainability in agriculture. Of course, we also enjoyed an abundance of delicious cheese and produce — because what’s an ag event without tasting the best of what the industry has to offer? 🧀 A huge thank you to Angela Hessinger and the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy for organising such a great event. We leave the Summit buzzing with ideas and excitement, ready to collaborate and innovate for a more sustainable future. 🌍 #SustAg2024 #Sustainability #DairyInnovation #Agriculture

Number 8 bio is exhibiting next week at Sustainable Agriculture Summit, the premier agriculture sustainability event of the year! 🌱🐮 Our CEO & Co-founder Thomas Williams, CSO & Co-founder Alex Carpenter, Chief of Staff Simone Barakat and VP of Business Operations Britt Rinker, are all set for what promises to be a jam-packed few days. Stop by booth 18 in the Networking Hall to learn more about how we're taking big strides towards a low-emission, high-efficiency future for farming. See you in Minneapolis! 🇺🇲 #SustAg2024 #Number8Bio #SustainableAgriculture #SustainableFoods https://lnkd.in/gSMTzyZa

Last week, our VP of Business Operations, Britt Rinker, and Chief of Staff, Simone Barakat had an incredible time attending the Australian Lot Feeders' Association's #BeefEx2024 in Brisbane. With over 800 delegates, the event was a fantastic opportunity to dive deep into the future of grainfed beef. Here are a few highlights and takeaways: ✨ The 30th anniversary of the National Feedlot Accreditation Scheme was a major highlight. As Australia’s oldest agriculture-based quality assurance program, it continues to lead the way in transparency and quality. ALFA now represents over 90% of all cattle on feed, and grainfed beef accounts for 42% of the nation’s total beef production—a clear sign of the industry’s growth and impact. 🐮 ALFA President Barb Madden’s heartfelt words resonated with everyone: “We strive to do what is right for the cattle in our care every single day... our mantra is 'cattle come first.'” Reflecting the deep commitment lot feeders have to animal welfare and the continual improvement of the industry. 🌍 Nuffield Scholar Catherine Marriott OAM shared valuable insights from her research on international ESG efforts in the beef sector. She emphasised that sustainability isn’t optional, saying “ignore it at your own peril.” Catherine urged producers to understand their carbon footprint and stay ahead of global trends to remain competitive in an evolving market. If Ruminati's buzzing booth on the expo floor was any indication, producers are on the case. 🔬 Darryl Savage from The North Australian Pastoral Company shared his perspective on the strengths and risks facing the feedlot industry, calling feedlots the "testbed for innovation" in beef production. We couldn’t agree more with feedlots playing a key role in groundbreaking research for our own methane inhibitors. 📊 Our friends, Fran Cowley from University of New England (AU) and Sarah J. Meale from The University of Queensland, have been hard at work providing groundbreaking research on the effectiveness of emissions reducing feed additives in the paddock and improving Australian feedlot emissions calculations to ensure robust and accurate reporting. 👏 A big congratulations to the award winners at BeefEx 2024, including #GundamainFeedlot, Barmount Feedlot and Teys Australia's #CondamineFeedlot (just to name a few). Well deserved! 🤠 To top off an amazing event, we wrapped up with a fun Bucking Bull competition, raising funds for Ronald McDonald House Charities. There were plenty of laughs, especially when Britt took her turn on the mechanical bull! The future of Australia’s beef industry looks brighter than ever, and at Number 8 Bio, we’re excited to continue contributing to more sustainable solutions for reducing enteric methane and improving cattle health. 🐄💨 #BeefEx2024 #Sustainability #GrainfedBeef #MethaneReduction #FeedlotInnovation #ESG #Agribusiness #Number8Bio

Thanks so much, Elaine Watson and AgFunder, for the great write-up 💚 Our priority is to develop products that will provide a healthy ROI to producers, promote animal welfare, and help solve climate change through reduced emissions.
