Rumin8 Acquires ROAM Agricultural to Expand Methane Abatement Product Portfolio

Key Takeaways

• Rumin8 has acquired ROAM Agricultural, a Loam Bio spin-out developing methane-reducing solutions for cattle.
• The acquisition gives Rumin8 access to additional delivery formats for tribromomethane (TBM), expanding its product portfolio.
• ROAM’s technologies include synthesized TBM production and sustained-release delivery formats.
• The company plans to accelerate ROAM’s products into regulatory studies and commercial pathways.
• Both companies emphasize the need for multiple methane-abatement tools to serve diverse livestock systems globally.

Rumin8 Strengthens Methane Reduction Capabilities Through ROAM Agricultural Acquisition

Rumin8 has announced its acquisition of ROAM Agricultural (ROAM), a spin-out of Loam Bio focused on developing cattle methane-abatement solutions. The move expands Rumin8’s pipeline of TBM-based delivery formats and aligns with the company’s strategy to offer multiple pathways for reducing emissions across livestock systems.

“ROAM has focused on the same active ingredient as Rumin8 and has developed delivery formats that expand our portfolio to reach production systems that can benefit from an extended release profile,” said David Messina, CEO of Rumin8.

Technology Alignment Positions Rumin8 to Accelerate Product Development

ROAM initially explored a fungi-based approach to producing tribromomethane (TBM) before advancing to synthesized TBM. The acquisition includes alternative manufacturing and delivery processes, broadening the technical foundation available to Rumin8.
