The race is on to reduce methane emissions from cows. Methane production may be mitigated to varying degrees in cattle by breeding strategies, by vaccines, or by various dietary interventions.
The project conducted at Bel Group-supplying farms in France has shown ‘promising results’ about the rate of methane emissions reductions achieved by administering dsm-firmenich’s feed additive.
Ireland has committed to a 25% cut in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agriculture by 2030, relative to 2018 levels. Developing ways to reduce methane emissions will be crucial to meet that target.
McDonald's and FrieslandCampina announce a new collaborative effort aimed at an accelerated reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on dairy farms.
Swiss-Dutch human and animal nutrition group, dsm-firmenich, reports that Bovaer, since it was first developed and up to today, has enabled the reduction of 50,000 tons of CO2e equivalent.
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.
