DSM says construction has got underway of a manufacturing facility for its methane-reducing feed additive for cattle, Bovaer, at its site in Dalry in Scotland.
DSM is joining forces with Arla on a pilot to test its additive aimed at methane emissions reduction, Bovaer, in 10,000 dairy cows across three European countries.
One of Australia’s largest cattle producers, the North Australian Pastoral Company (NAPCo), has signed a collaboration and supply agreement with DSM, which will see the Dutch company’s feed additive, Bovaer, used through the NAPCo supply chain.
The European Food Safety Agency (EFSA) has found that DSM’s feed additive, 3-NOP, branded as Bovaer, reduces enteric methane emissions from dairy cows and is safe for the animal and the consumer.
DSM has received full regulatory approval from the Brazilian and Chilean authorities to commercialize Bovaer, its methane-reducing feed additive for ruminants.
