We catch up with Alexia Akbe from Symbrosia on how limu kohu seaweed is moving from promising methane research into real ranch use across Hawaii and the mainland. We talk performance-first economics, product forms for pasture and feedlots, and what new trials could prove next for animal health and efficiency.

• Alexia’s background in environmental chemistry and greenhouse gases
• Why limu kohu stands out for enteric methane reduction
• Commercial pasture trials showing improved rate of gain and feed efficiency
• Pricing the product around measurable ROI instead of carbon credits
• FDA pathway, current use across beef cattle ranches and sheep producers
• How Symbrosia farms, dries and processes seaweed in Kona
• Mineral replacement potential, trace elements and bioavailability in a whole-plant matrix
• Oil extract format for feedlots and why rations may need rebalancing
• Species-specific needs including copper sensitivity in sheep
• Upcoming research focus areas including cow-calf, weaning stress, parasite reduction and pinkeye
