A method of reducing production of carbon dioxide or methane from farmed animals, including administering to an animal a formulation of carbon dioxide or methane reducing concentrations of vitamin K. The method reduces the carbon dioxide and/or the methane in one or more of breath exhalant of the animal, faeces of the animal, and from soil on which the faeces have been deposited. M ethane production is reduced by at least 20% by volume and carbon dioxide production is reduced by at least 20% by volume. The vitamin K is formulated to be isolated until the vitamin K reaches to gut of the animal whereupon it is formulated to be released and mix with stomach or rumen fluid. The method increases animal weight gain over time, inhibits or prevents production of skatole compounds production from metabolism of the animal over time, and reduces production of offensive odours from animal faeces.

- Claim:
1. A method of reducing production of carbon dioxide or methane produced by a rumen metabolism of a ruminant animal, said method comprising: administering to a rumen of a ruminant animal, a liquid formulation, the liquid formulation comprising carbon dioxide or methane reducing concentrations of vitamin K 3 vitamer and at least one further compound selected from water, propylene glycol, vitamin E, vitamin A propionate, vitamin A palmitate, vitamin B1, vitamin B 2 , vitamin B 6 , vitamin B 12 , D-activated animal sterol, yeast components, dried egg solids, dried casein, dried whey, mineral compounds, palm kernel expellier, dried honey; wherein the vitamin K 3 vitamer is formulated for administration in animal drinking water.
- Claim:
2. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the method reduces said carbon dioxide and/or said methane in one or more of breath exhalant of the ruminant animal, feces of the ruminant animal, from soil on which the feces have been deposited.
- Claim:
3. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein methane production is reduced by at least 20% by volume.
- Claim:
4. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein carbon dioxide production is reduced by at least 20% by volume.
- Claim:
5. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the vitamin K 3 vitamer is produced synthetically.
- Claim:
6. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the method increases ruminant animal weight gain over time.
- Claim:
7. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the method inhibits or prevents production of skatole compounds from metabolism of the ruminant animal over time.
- Claim:
8. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the method reduces production of offensive odors from feces produced by the ruminant animal.
- Claim:
9. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the liquid formulation further comprises the vitamin K 3 vitamer at a concentration of 1-2 g vitamin K 3 vitamer per 20 liters.
