Farmers will be able to add Bovaer-a methane-reducing ingredient-to dairy cows' feed, potentially reducing emissions by 30%.
Originally published by Fast Company
In May, the Food and Drug Administration said Bovaer met safety and efficacy requirements for use in dairy cows. The feed additive, distributed by Indiana-based Elanco Animal Health, has been shown to cut a dairy cow's methane emissions by an average of 30%. It works by suppressing the gut enzyme that produces the gas, and has no adverse health effects for the cows-or for the humans who consume their milk, according to numerous studies.
