Agscent Air: GHG
Turning Invisible Methane Emissions into Visible Benefits
Every burp your livestock makes could cost you money. Methane isn't just an environmental concern, it's profit escaping into thin air. Agscent's breakthrough GHG sensors put precision monitoring in your hands, tough enough for any environment.

Without measurement you are guessing.
Real-time methane monitoring gives you the data to make decisions that simultaneously cut emissions, boost animal performance, and increase profitability. Agscent's technology verifies which strategies deliver results, eliminating costly trial and error.
6–12%
Feed energy lost as methane
Up to 40% heritable
Methane is a selectable trait
Problem — Lost Energy: High methane emitters consistently show higher Residual Feed Intake (RFI) meaning they eat the same feed as your best animals but convert it less efficiently into production. Identifying and removing high emitters is one of the fastest paths to improving your feed conversion ratio.
"If we can reduce methane by 30–40% and make that animal more productive, so it helps with fertility... healthy gut, better productivity, this is seriously a game changer"
— Robert Mackenzie
Producer, Macka's Black Angus Beef
Two Systems. Any Operation.
Simple, accurate, and mobile methane monitoring designed for real farm environments — not just research labs.
Agscent Air: GHG + Optiweigh
Integrated Methane + Liveweight System
The GHG sensor unit is integrated into Optiweigh's automatic weighing technology, capturing individual animal productivity: liveweight data paired to individual methane and CO₂ readings automatically, remotely, from grazing or feedyard systems.
- Individual animal ID with methane + weight in one pass
- Automatic remote data collection, no labour required
- Suitable for grazing operations and intensive feedlot trials
- Validated system
- Solar-powered for remote deployment
- Integrates with supply chain reporting platforms
Agscent Air: GHG 2100
Standalone Flexible Monitoring System
A mobile, real-time, precision methane measurement system with the flexibility to mount sensors in any location of your choosing. Data is accessible remotely and can be configured with additional IO readers, additional VOC sensors, and solar power.
- Flexible mounting — integrate into any farm infrastructure
- Compatible with robotic dairies and smart feed bins
- Optional individual animal ID readers
- Mains powered with solar power option
- Validated system
How it Works
Real Impact
From farm management to research applications, Agscent Air delivers actionable insights that drive better outcomes for producers, researchers, and the environment.
On-Farm Management Decisions
Producers use real-time methane data to validate emission claims, optimise feed efficiency, reduce input costs, and cull unproductive stock. Continuous measurement gives farmers the ability to baseline their own herd.
"We like any piece of equipment that we can just put in the pasture field and not really change the way we operate the farm and get data." Wes Gilliam — Ranch Manager, Spring Hill Farm, University of Tennessee.
Breeding & Genetic Selection
Methane is a heritable trait. Agscent Air provides individual animal data points to identify low-emitting animals for genetic selection programs. Genetic progress is permanent and cumulative.
"Variations of 30% or more can exist between individual animals of the same breed on identical diets." Dr Sara Place — Colorado State University
Feed Efficiency
Methane represents 6–12% of lost feed energy. Agscent Air identifies individual animals that convert feed more efficiently, enabling producers to make targeted management decisions, removing high-emitting low-performers, and selecting for efficiency increases productivity
"You eat less, you produce less methane — better feed conversion, lower costs, reduced pasture pressure, faster growth, improved margins" Robert Mackenzie — Macka's Black Angus.
Supplement & Additive Validation
Measure to test, optimise, and validate methane reduction supplements measuring pre and post treatment effects. Results provide independent verification for marketing claims and carbon credit applications.
Market Access & Supply Chain
Producers use verified emissions data to access premium low-emission protein supply chains where methane accounting is becoming a requirement. Real-time verified data is essential for market trust and transparency.
ESG Reporting & Climate Disclosure
Corporate and family farms use the data to meet ESG objectives, support carbon credit programs, and comply with climate-related disclosure requirements. Agscent's data provides real-time measurement that modelling and estimates cannot.
Validated by World Leading Institutions
Agscent Air GHG technology has been validated across leading research institutions on two continents, tested under real pen and paddock conditions. The results confirm what producers need: a reliable, field-ready tool for emissions monitoring, breeding decisions, and farm management.
