Oxyntra, containing Potassium Carbonate Sesquihydrate and Magnesium Chelate, is a natural feed additive that enhances feed efficiency, reduces methane emissions, and improves a farm's carbon footprint and sustainability. It simultaneously delivers performance benefits that boost profitability.

Continuous culture studies show 14–18% lower daily CH₄ production and 10–12% lower CH₄ per unit of digested NDF when Potassium Carbonate Sesquihydrate (KCS) is included at levels equivalent to 2% dietary potassium.
Works by raising rumen pH, shifting hydrogen disposal pathways, and potentially suppressing methanogenic archaea.
In vivo extrapolations indicate 5–15% reduction in enteric methane yield, combined with improved animal performance.
Enhanced fiber digestibility reduces undigested excreta and manure volatile solids, decreasing methane emissions during storage.
Chelated magnesium maintains mineral balance under high-potassium conditions, promoting microbial diversity and overall rumen function.
Delivers production advantages (better feed efficiency and performance) while significantly contributing to greenhouse gas mitigation from both enteric and manure sources.
Increases feed efficiency by 5–8% when included at approximately 1% of dry matter intake.
Delivers a direct and measurable reduction in the carbon footprint of milk production.
Every 0.1-unit improvement in ECM/DMI (energy-corrected milk per kg of dry matter intake) reduces:
Methane intensity by 4–6% and Total greenhouse gas emissions by 5–7%
Achieves these environmental gains through lower dry matter intake per kg of milk and decreased manure output.
