Breda, The Netherlands – 4 September 2025 - Orffa and Sea Forest announce an exclusive long-term distribution partnership, which includes distribution of the SEAFEED™ range of products in the European Union and other selected countries worldwide. Sea Forest’s SEAFEED™ supplement addresses one of the most significant challenges of our time: fighting climate change through the abatement of methane emissions via animal nutrition.
The SEAFEED™ range of products is designed to combat methane emissions in ruminants. By harnessing and recreating the power of the red seaweed Asparagopsis, the SEAFEED™ range of products is effective in reducing methane emissions to the highest extent, outshining currently available alternatives. These products can be applied in dairy, beef, and small ruminant (sheep, goat) rations, either through premix and compound feed manufacture or directly on farm. The goal is to have widespread implementation to support the ruminant industry on its current path to a more sustainable future. Sea Forest has developed a unique process technology to ensure a standardized and consistent product that enables pragmatic application.
"We are thrilled to welcome Orffa as a partner," said Sam Elsom, CEO of Sea Forest. "Our deep understanding of the bioactives found in Asparagopsis has global impact and addresses an urgent worldwide need to reduce methane emissions. Connecting with Orffa allows Sea Forest to reach out to industry partners and stakeholders across the European continent."
Arno van der Aa, Director of Marketing & Innovation of Orffa, comments: “Orffa has always been an innovative player in the animal feed industry, recognizing future industry needs. As methane reduction initiatives are receiving more interest, this is the moment to explore market entrance. We have already worked for years on this topic, and based on our findings, we believe that together with Sea Forest we can bring a unique and highly effective solution to market that can fill a growing need.”
