Seamless Integration
Designed for zero operational friction. Lome mixes well into standard mineral feed, concentrated mash, or pellets without disrupting daily farm routines.
LOME IN ACTION
The rumen ecosystem.
Inside a cow’s rumen, trillions of natural microbes work together to digest food. But there’s a biological catch: certain microbes divert vital nutrients to produce methane gas instead.
Through evolution, this process helped wild cattle survive on tough, low-nutrient grass. Today, with high-quality diets and modern farm care, methane production is simply an outdated habit, an evolutionary natural process that wastes valuable feed energy in modern farming.
By keeping these specific microbes in check, we help cattle get the absolute most out of their feed.
Precision enzyme targeting.
Powered by our patent-pending formulation, a small dose of Lome delivers active molecules directly into the rumen right where they are needed.
Once inside, it acts with precision, targeting only the single enzyme that methanogens rely on to produce methane.
Crucially, Lome is hyper-selective. It gently supress some of the methane creation at the source while leaving the trillions of beneficial, energy-producing microbes unaffected and with access to a larger pool of nutrients to maintain healthy digestion.
Waste less. Unlock more.
When some of the methane production is blocked, carbon and hydrogen are no longer lost to the atmosphere as waste gas.
Instead, these essential organic building blocks can be rerouted back into the cow’s natural digestive system. This closed-loop efficiency retains metabolic energy that would otherwise be lost.
The result is maximum feed efficiency, turning previously wasted energy into health, growth, and farm productivity.
Massive climate impact.
Methane (CH4) is a potent greenhouse gas with 28 times the warming effect of CO2. Intercepting its production in the rumen is one of the most effective levers available for climate action.
By cutting enteric emissions before they leave the animal, Lome provides a practical, immediate solution that integrates into existing farm workflows.
It fundamentally rewrites the climate equation, supporting agriculture with a fast, scalable path toward true net-zero farming.
INNOVATIONS IN BIOTECHNOLOGY
Sustainable Bromoform Production
Bromoform (CHBr3), the active ingredient in Lome, is produced naturally by certain species of marine algae. While we initially cultivated and harvested seaweed to extract bromoform, scaling that process presented significant operational and environmental challenges.
Today, we utilize precision chemistry: natural bromine sourced from salt brine reacts with simple organic compounds in a closed-loop system where byproducts are trapped and recycled. This delivers a far more scalable, reliable, and sustainable supply of bromoform for Lome.
Advanced Emulsion Technology
To manufacture Lome, bromoform is diluted in rapeseed oil and combined with water and speciality carbohydrates using high-shear mixing. This creates a stable emulsions with microscopic oil droplets carrying the active molecule, perfectly encapsulated by the surrounding matrix.
Precision Spray Granulation
The emulsion is sprayed into a heated drying chamber, instantly forming uniform, ideal-sized granules. Each finished granule features a protective carbohydrate shield surrounding the oil core, effectively locking in the active bromoform so it is only released once it reaches the archea in the cow’s rumen.
Patent Pending Breakthroughs
Throughout the development of Lome, our scientific team has achieved multiple technological milestones, forming the foundation of our pending patent portfolio.
Our co-founder and CEO Fredrik Åkerman has written a blog post with a deep dive into the science behind the product, its technical development, and how it came to be.
We feel obligated to give a warning: It's a long read, strictly for the science nerds out there.
On a mission to battle global warming using science.
