Measure Individual Animal Emissions
GreenFeed is a turn-key system that captures and measures greenhouse gases — including Methane (CH₄), Carbon Dioxide (CO₂), and optionally Oxygen (O₂) and Hydrogen (H₂) — from individual ruminant animals. GreenFeed uses flux-based measurement technology, capturing real-time greenhouse gas output from ruminant animals. This data provides valuable insights into emissions and efficiency at the individual animal level.
Individual Animal Measurement
Captures greenhouse gas emissions at the individual animal level, enabling precise, animal-specific insights rather than relying on herd averages.
Measure and Rank Animal Profitability
Uses CO₂ output to estimate biological efficiency, enabling the ranking of animals based on performance and supporting more informed, profit-driven herd decisions.
Mass Flux Measurement
Measures the true mass of emissions over time using flux-based technology, providing more accurate and meaningful data than concentration-based approaches.
Globally Standardized
Uses a consistent, standardized methodology worldwide, enabling direct comparison of data across studies, regions, and research programs.
Proven & Validated Worldwide
Backed by over 800 peer-reviewed publications worldwide, GreenFeed delivers data generated through a methodology trusted across the global research community.
Non-Invasive, Real-World Measurement
Collects data in the animal’s natural environment without disruption, ensuring emissions reflect normal behavior and unbiased conditions.
Producers
Increasing Profitability by Identifying Top Performers
The Problem
Producers are making critical herd and feeding decisions without the ability to accurately measure metabolic efficiency at the individual animal level. Without this insight, identifying which animals convert feed into gain most effectively is largely based on observation and assumption—leading to missed opportunities and unnecessary feed costs.
The Solution
GreenFeed provides direct measurement of individual animal emissions, enabling precise estimation of metabolic efficiency. By ranking animals based on efficiency, producers gain clear, actionable insights to support decisions around finishing, breeding, culling, and overall herd management. The result is a more efficient operation—reducing feed costs, improving performance, and replacing guesswork with data-driven decision-making.
Researchers
A Standardized, Proven Emissions Measurement
The Problem
Many emissions measurement approaches lack consistency, accuracy, or global comparability, making it difficult to validate findings, compare results across studies, or build upon existing research with confidence.
The Solution
GreenFeed delivers a globally standardized, highly accurate measurement platform that outperforms alternative technologies. Unlike concentration-based systems such as sniffers, GreenFeed uses mass flux measurement to quantify true emissions output. Its standardized methodology enables direct comparison of data across regions and studies worldwide, while its validation in over 800 peer-reviewed publications provides a trusted foundation for credible, publishable research.
How GreenFeed Works
- Animal approaches and RFID tag is identified
- Animal begins eating and burping, releasing emissions
- As the animal eats, the emissions are pulled through the GreenFeed
- As air moves though the GreenFeed, sensors measure emissions gases
- After the gases pass by the sensors, the data is logged and sent to C-Lock
- C-Lock algorithms analyze data and flag any outliers
- A C-Lock expert verifies the final dataset to ensure accuracy
- Final results are delivered to clients for data-driven decision making
Data Delivered
GreenFeed records every spot-sampling visit and converts these measurements into structured datasets delivered to users. Final data gives simple, clear insights into the following individual animal statistics:
- Daily methane (CH₄) emissions per animal (g/day)
- Daily carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions per animal (g/day)
- Daily hydrogen (H₂) and oxygen (O₂) data per animal (optional)
- Visit frequency and spot-sample count per animal
- Visit duration and head-position quality metrics
- Emissions trends and summarized statistics over time
From peer-reviewed research trials to commercial sustainability programs, this data powers methane mitigation studies, feed-additive validation, low-emission genetic selection, and Scope 3 reporting. GreenFeed gives both producers and researchers the individual emissions records they need — whether you're publishing the next benchmark study, validating a methane-reducing additive, or proving a verified reduction in your supply chain.
