INDIANAPOLIS & FISHERS, IND. – October 18, 2023 – Athian (athian.ai), the world’s first cloud-based carbon marketplace for the livestock industry, and BiomEdit, an emerging animal health biotechnology company, announced a collaboration to validate groundbreaking protocols for sustainability outcomes in livestock production based on product innovation in development from BiomEdit.
BiomEdit is advancing innovative programs based on their unique platform combining microbiome science and synthetic biology. The collaboration with Athian features the company’s leading research program to find microbial solutions for methane emission reduction in dairy and beef cattle, as well as products focused on providing non-antibiotic solutions for infectious disease and food safety pathogens found in livestock.
Athian’s Sustainable Livestock Systems platform is an industry-based analytics tool powered by AI that enables the livestock industry to make good on its sustainability commitments by providing carbon “insetting” credits.
“This collaboration with BiomEdit provides another example where our approach to carbon insetting can be applied to emerging solutions,” said Paul Myer, CEO of Athian. “We’re equally excited to begin pioneering work with BiomEdit on important sustainability opportunities such as antimicrobial resistance risk reduction and food safety.”
“Athian is pioneering the establishment of protocols that give credit to livestock producers for adopting practices that offer production efficiency and positively impact important areas like greenhouse gas emission, antimicrobial resistance and food safety,” said Aaron Schacht, CEO of BiomEdit.
