The Bovaer® effect refers to the ability of the Bovaer® feed additive to significantly reduce methane emissions from livestock. Specifically, it can reduce methane emissions by an average of 30% in dairy cows and up to 45% in beef cattle. This feed ingredient works by suppressing the enzyme that contributes to methane production during digestion, thus lowering the environmental footprint of meat and dairy products. Just a quarter teaspoon of Bovaer® per cow per day can take effect within 30 minutes, making it an immediate solution for reducing methane emissions [1][5].

Bovaer® has been recognized as safe for use in dairy cows and has undergone extensive testing, with over 100 trials in more than 20 countries resulting in numerous peer-reviewed studies. It has been approved for sale in over 55 countries, contributing to global efforts to tackle climate change by targeting methane emissions, which are a significant contributor to greenhouse gases from agriculture [1][4][6].
