This Project Aims to Test a New Class of Feed Additives Designed to Improve Productivity by Redirecting Energy Away From Methane Waste Towards Greater Meat and Milk Production in Cattle. We Will Evaluate AMP-202, a Feed Additive That Employs a Novel Mechanism That Reduces the Bioavailability of Nickel. Nickel Is Required by the Rumen Microbes to Produce Waste Methane, Yet There Is No Known Nutritional Requirement for Nickel in Ruminants Themselves. Reducing the Rumen Concentration of Nickel Will Inhibit Methane Production, Allowing the Animals to Capture Energy From Feed That Would Otherwise Be Lost to Methane.this Project Will Specifically Test the Safety and Tolerability of AMP-202 in Beef Cattle, and Inform an Understanding of Its Impact on Methane Production and Average Daily Gain. Building on Promising in Vitro Data That Demonstrate Nickel-dependent and Dose-dependent Inhibition Ofmethanogenesis by AMP-202, This Project Includes Three TASKS:1. Proof-of-concept Test for Safety and Efficacy in CATTLE2. Dose-finding to Identify Lowest Effective DOSE3. Necropsy to Evaluate Toxicologythe Primary Objective of This Study Is to Assess Safety and Tolerability of AMP-202, With Secondary Outcomesrelated to Efficacy. Promising Results From This Study Will Support a Phase 2 Application to Conduct a Larger Efficacy Study.

Everything here is this single award's whole record — signed, amended, paid — not a fiscal-year slice. The by-year charts elsewhere split an award across the years it was committed; this page keeps it whole.
Committed is what the government has legally promised on this award so far. Contracts can also carry a ceiling — the maximum if every option is exercised. Unspent ceiling is headroom, not money owed.
The cash actually disbursed against this award. The gap from committed is the disbursement pipeline: promised, not yet cashed.
Each transaction is a signing event — an action that created or changed the award, dated the day it was signed — not a payment. Negative amounts are real: money de-committed at closeout or renegotiation.
One bar, the award’s whole arithmetic: paid out, then committed, not yet paid, then .
