Operating at the intersection of practical and advanced theoretical agricultural science, we aim to deliver evidence-based products that enhance crop performance, soil health, and resource efficiency across diverse climatic zones.
We also aim to help save the world from global warming by reducing methane and other greenhouse gases emissions from farm animals, soils and oxidation ponds.
Services
Agriboost only works when the animals are fed healthy and natural feeds. If you suspect your feed may be unhealthy for your animals we offer a service to test it for healthiness and suitability for use with Agriboost.
This service is only offered in a limited number of countries, but we will be expanding it to more countries in the future.
Unhealthy feeds include poorly made silage, reactive and unnatural feed additives, chemical buffers and strong redox chemicals. Get us to test it and see.
Unhealthy feeds can result in mastitis, bloat, and gut necrosis. All these shorten the animal’s life and lowers productivity.
This is a paid service, but charges are very reasonable. Enquire by email to

Safety: Proven internationally to be safe for humans, animals and the environment.
How to tell if Agriboost! is working
Besides the important features of increases in growth rate and, in milking cows, milk volume and milk solids, in our trials we have noticed that there are easily observable signs that AgriBoost® is working.
THE SMELL OF THE DOSED ANIMALS' FAECES
We found that animal faeces ("pats") didn't smell, they were a little drier. and had less fibre of grass fragments.
The removal of the stink indicates the skatole producing bacteria in the gut have been suppressed. This is a great thing since skatole contamination, also known as boar taint, has tainted much of our milk and meat for ages which customers in many countries find offensive.
And the pats are lighter in colour.
DRIER FAECES. In sheep, wet, sloppy shit leads to flystrike in drier parts of the country.
So, sheep farmers should see fewer, or no, sheep suffering from flystrike. This would be great news for the Australian sheep farmers where Mulesing is common. In this controversial practice skin is removed from around the breech (buttocks) and tail area to prevent flystrike. Even in New Zealand treating flystrike is hard on the sheep and very unpleasant and time consuming for the farmer.
FEWER FAECAL DROPPINGS. You may not notice it, but in our trials sheep had fewer faeces than un-dosed sheep. This hows that dosing leads to more complete and efficient digestion.
LESS BLOAT. The number of cows suffering from cow bloat should lessen since AgriBoost® reduces gas production in the gut.
LESS SCOURING. The incidence of scouring in calves should reduce.
LESS STINKY MILKING/PIG HOUSING/POULTRY FACILITIES.

How it works
The secret to Agriboost! is its active ingredient, CH4GUARD. Technically known as an oxidation-reduction (REDOX) agent, CH4GUARD facilitates rapid chemical reactions with other compounds.
What makes this compound truly remarkable is its cyclic nature. It constantly regenerates itself, allowing it to remain persistent and active in the gut for long periods. Because this cycling is so efficient, only small doses are required to achieve maximum effectiveness.
Safe, Targeted Action
Safety is at the heart of our formula. CH4GUARD is not a poison.
Non-Invasive: It does not interfere with the metabolism or physical structure of the animal or its gut microbes.
Contained: It cannot enter the animal’s bloodstream or penetrate the gut wall.
Focused: It remains entirely within the gut lumen, doing its work exactly where it is needed most.
Suppressing Emissions, Boosting Energy
Agriboost! addresses greenhouse gas emissions—like methane and carbon dioxide—by intervening in the digestive process.
Normally, when an animal breaks down plant cellulose and fibers, certain metabolic products are created. In a typical gut environment, fermenting microorganisms seize these products to grow and reproduce, releasing harmful greenhouse gases as a byproduct. This process essentially "steals" potential nutrition from the animal.
CH4GUARD changes the game:
Redirection: It out competes these microorganisms for those specific metabolic products.
Conversion: It accepts protons and electrons to form a new compound, delivering that captured energy directly back to the cow.
Elimination: Deprived of their food source, the harmful microorganisms wither away.
Real-World Results
By inhibiting methane and carbon dioxide production, Agriboost! ensures your livestock gets more nutrition from the same amount of feed.
Dairy: Experience higher milk yields and richer milk with increased milk solids.
Health: Lower somatic cell counts indicate overall improved animal health.
Beef & Sheep: See superior growth rates, even during challenging drought conditions.
Poultry: Produce larger birds and bigger eggs with significantly stronger shells.
Can it be organic?
Yes, provided it is mixed with organic foeeds.
