The red macroalgae (seaweed) Asparagopsis spp. has shown to reduce ruminant enteric methane (CH.sub.4) production up to 99% in vitro. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of Asparagopsis taxiformis on CH.sub.4 production (g/day per animal), yield (g CH.sub.4 /kg dry matter intake (DMI)), and intensity (g CH.sub.4 /kg ADG); average daily gain (ADG; kg gain/day), feed conversion efficiency (FCE; kg ADG/kg DMI), and carcass and meat quality in growing beef steers. Twenty-one Angus-Hereford beef steers were randomly allocated to one of three treatment groups: 0% (Control), 0.25% (Low), and 0.5% (High) A. taxiformis inclusion based on organic matter intake. Steers were fed 3 diets: high, medium, and low forage total mixed ration (TMR) representing life-stage diets of growing beef steers. The Low and High treatments over 147 days reduced enteric CH.sub.4 yield 45 and 68%, respectively. However, there was an interaction between TMR type and the magnitude of CH.sub.4 yield reduction. Supplementing low forage TMR reduced CH.sub.4 yield 69.8% (P <0.01) for Low and 80% (P <0.01) for High treatments. Hydrogen (H.sub.2) yield (g H.sub.2 /DMI) increased (P <0.01) 336 and 590% compared to Control for the Low and High treatments, respectively. Carbon dioxide (CO.sub.2) yield (g CO.sub.2 /DMI) increased 13.7% between Control and High treatments (P = 0.03). No differences were found in ADG, carcass quality, strip loin proximate analysis and shear force, or consumer taste preferences. DMI tended to decrease 8% (P = 0.08) in the Low treatment and DMI decreased 14% (P <0.01) in the High treatment. Conversely, FCE tended to increase 7% in Low (P = 0.06) and increased 14% in High (P <0.01) treatment compared to Control. The persistent reduction of CH.sub.4 by A. taxiformis supplementation suggests that this is a viable feed additive to significantly decrease the carbon footprint of ruminant livestock and potentially increase production efficiency.
