Block

AgCoTech produces Medicated Block technology that increases cattle productivity, improves welfare, while reducing methane emissions by up to 40%.


In line with world food security concerns, we believe that we can help increase beef and milk production while reducing methane in line with Paris Agreement 2.1(b) Increasing the ability to adapt to the adverse impacts of climate change and foster climate resilience and low greenhouse gas emissions development, in a manner that does not threaten food production.

Responsible organisations can purchase
AgCoTech SDG*/carbon offsets to reduce their carbon emission footprint while also addressing their environmental, social and governance commitments (ESG).

The income generated by purchasing AgCoTech SDG/carbon offsets allows our medicated Blocks to be delivered for FREE to small holder farmer families in developing nations.

“Laos Buffalo Dairy is where it all started! We wanted to improve our herds production. Working with AgCoTech, the Australian and Laos governments, Sydney University and local Laos Universities we achieved major shifts in our animal's health, welfare and milk output. This has led to a locally led extension program educating farmers and communities incorporating the AgCoTech BlockTM which is available for free.”

MDH Pastoral – An Australian Story

MDH Pty Ltd is one of Australia's largest beef cattle operations, unique in the fact that the company is both family owned and operated. The McDonald family represents seven generations of beef producers and 190 years of experience in Australian agriculture. 12 With a wide geographical spread of country in Australia's vast Queensland outback, MDH Pty Ltd runs 150,000 head of cattle across 14 properties, encompassing an irrigated farm and the company owned "Wallumba" feedlot on the Western Darling Downs.

Since 2019, MDH, AgCoTech Australia, and Ternes Scientific have conducted a project that was designed to reduce methane emissions from beef cattle. The project focussed on new feed supplementation systems. MDH and AgCoTech are continuing the development of feed supplements that can be used in future livestock methane direct abatement methodologies, thereby benefiting the Australian beef industry. We are proactively supporting the Livestock Emissions Carbon Farming Working Group towards a feed supplement/additive methodology.

"Rural Aid is proud to offer our primary producers a range of tools to help them get out of a tight spot. Lick blocks are now a part of a Rural Aid toolkit that also contains financial assistance, hay deliveries, counselling sessions, water tanks and water deliveries. In addition to the traditional benefits associated with supplement feeding, these AgCoTech lick blocks have the added advantage of reducing methane emissions from grazing livestock."

- John Warlters, CEO, Rural Aid

"We have a received some blocks from the project and now our cattle look healthier and grow faster. Before the emission control blocks it was difficult to bring the cattle home at night, today they return home more easily because they know the emission control blocks are waiting for them."

- Mr. Lae, Farmer from Nongchong Village
