Briefly, the screening of chemical content of a range of seaweeds collected in Iceland in 2020 and 2021 did not identify a bromoform rich seaweed that had high promise as a methane reducing feed component for cattle. Certain samples of brown macroalgae were high in total phenolic content, indicating a high phlorotannin content that has been associated with a moderate methane reduction. That is consistent with the findings of this research. Samples of Asparagopsis sp. indicated that they may have a short shelf life to preserve the bromoform content. Fermentation may increase slightly the methane reduction potential of seaweed, but extracting phlorotannins did not yield a much higher reduction of methane as hypothesized.</p>\n\n<p>This report is closed until 31.12.2023.<br>\n___</p>\n\n<p>Þessi skýrsla inniheldur helstu tilraunaniðurstöður úr verkefninu SeaCH4NGE-PLUS. Í stuttu máli sýndi skimun á efnainnihaldi u.þ.b. 20 þörungategunda sem safnað var á Íslandi 2020 og 2021, ekki fram á brómóformríkt þang, en bromoform ríkt þang getur haft metan minnkandi áhrif þegar það er gefið nautgripum. Sýni af brúnþörungum voru gjarnan há í fenólinnihaldi, sem bendir til mikils flórótanníninnihalds sem hefur verið tengt hóflegri metanlækkun. Rannsóknir á Asparagopsis þörungum. gaf til kynna að þau sýni gætu haft stutt geymsluþol, en áhrif voru minni en reiknað var með. Gerjun getur haft lítilleg jákvæð áhrif á metanframleiðslu (þ.e.a.s. dregið aðeins meira úr framleiðslu), en útdráttur af flórótannínum hafði ekki afgerandi áhrif á metanframleiðslu. </p>\n\n<p>Þessi skýrsla er lokUð til 31.12.2023.</p>\n\n<p> </p>", "author": [ { "family": "P\u00e9tursd\u00f3ttir, \u00c1sta H." }, { "family": "Einarsd\u00f3ttir, Brynja" }, { "family": "Gu\u00f0mundsd\u00f3ttir, El\u00edsabet Eik" }, { "family": "Desnica, Natasa" }, { "family": "Sim, Rebecca" }, { "family": "Kuenzel, Susanne" }, { "family": "Rodehutscord, Markus" }, { "family": "Titze, Natascha" }, { "family": "Wild, Katharina" } ], "note": "Funding: Loftslagssj\u00f3\u00f0ur, Rann\u00eds", "type": "article-journal", "id": "5520985" }
