Climate Protection
A research initiative of Marcher Fleischwerke in cooperation with the Agricultural Research and Education Centre Raumberg-Gumpenstein confirms a reduction of methane emissions of feeder steers by adding lemongrass to the animal diet in a field test lasting several months. The project was inspired by the results of a Mexican study, which was conducted on behalf of Burger King. Burger King informed its long-term European business partner, Marcher Fleischwerke, about this project, whereupon it evaluated the effectiveness of the lemongrass diet under domestic feeding conditions.
