NEWS 118 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE November 2025 Olmix took part in the Vietnam – France Innovation Forum held in Hanoi, on October 3, 2025. The event was organized by the National Innovation Center (NIC), the French Embassy in Vietnam, the scientific association Rencontres du Vietnam, and the International Center for Interdisciplinary Science and Education (ICISE). This event, part of Vietnam’s National Innovation Day 2025, brought together key industry and research stakeholders around the theme “Solutions for Vietnam’s Future”, with a strong focus on decarbonization, smart technologies, and agricultural transition. Among the speakers, Trinh Quang Thanh, General Manager of Olmix Asialand, shared the group’s vision for smart, sustainable, and profitable agriculture in Asia. “It is an honor to take part in this innovation workshop. Olmix represents the agri/agro sector in Vietnam. The presence of Serge Haroche, Nobel Prize in Physics, demonstrates the importance of French innovation and encourages Vietnamese researchers to continue their efforts,” he emphasized. During his presentation, Quang Thanh highlighted Olmix’s new generation of organic trace minerals, designed to support animal nutrition while reducing environmental impact. “Asia is a continent experiencing strong demographic and economic growth. Our organic trace mineral solutions help enhance animal performance and support our customers as they face this challenge,” he explained.

The funding will support development of the Rumen Digital Twin, an artificial intelligence (AI) foundation model designed to identify the most effective strategies for reducing methane emissions in cattle while also optimizing animal productivity and welfare. Together with its partners, BiomEdit highlights that it will lead the effort to train a generative AI model on data from more than 20,000 ruminants across 25+ countries, including the Global South. The model will integrate publicly available and newly generated data, producing more than 10,000 microbiome profiles crosslinked with methane emissions, diet, host genetics and animal performance data. The goal of the project has been revealed as to replace lengthy and expensive animal trials with AI-powered simulations that can identify the precise conditions and animal traits where specific feed additives or interventions will be most effective. These tailored strategies are expected to reduce methane emissions by up to 75% compared to untargeted approaches, while maintaining or improving animal productivity. “This project reflects the power of the microbiome and the use of AI to reduce methane and improve productivity in livestock,” said Aaron Schacht, CEO of BiomEdit.
