Sunshiki raises ¥80 million in pre-seed financing
The Japanese startup is developing feed ingredients from Asparagopsis seaweed that are intended to reduce methane emissions from cattle.
Seaweed cultivation for livestock feed
Sunshiki is developing Asparagopsis-based feed products, drawing on research into the seaweed's potential to reduce methane produced during cattle digestion. The company has demonstrated stable cultivation in commercial-scale test tanks and is working on processing methods that preserve the active compounds. Reliable cultivation and supply are central to making the ingredient usable by livestock producers.
