00:00 We're here with Heath Tiller at Warnertown with H3 Rural who have just taken on the methane
00:04 tamer to put in their beef feedlot, the seaweed supplement.
00:09 Tell us Heath, what's got you excited about this product?
00:13 It's very exciting to be doing this trial with SERCRO and CH4 Global.
00:19 We did the small trial there about 12 months or so ago of 10 animals each and now we're
00:25 going out full scale with a full pen of 70 odd head, controlled at 70 odd, non-controlled.
00:32 And does that 70 continue?
00:33 Because obviously they're talking about the continuous...
00:35 Yes, so we'll have a continuation of this and the expanding out to more over the next
00:40 few months to get more cattle on feed in our feedlot on the methane tamer.
00:45 And when it came to your first initial trial of 10, how did you find the cattle took to
00:51 the product?
00:52 Obviously it's a little bit different.
00:53 It's a different product now, more of a different, more consistent product.
00:59 And they took to it no worries at all.
01:01 There was a bit more of an odour to it when it first came because they really wanted to
01:04 start with the bare product and then work their way up from there which was great.
01:10 And now I think they've got a tremendous consistent product here which will flow through our ration
01:16 really good and be consistent throughout.
