Retail giants Coles, Woolworths and Aldi in Australia will stock meat and dairy products from animals that have been fed Bovaer to reduce their methane production. The active ingredient of Bovaer is 3-Nitrooxypropanol. Here's what the NIH says about it.

Apparently there is currently no legal requirement for the use of Bovaer in feed to be included on product labels.

This will be a developing story because some farmers who disagree with it's use are writing posts to tell their clients that they don't or won't use the product and lists of products that contain it are being posted. There are also plans to put a bill before parliament to ensure that Bovaer is on product labels.

At a guess I think that those farms and feedlots that do use it will probably attract subsidies and will be able to market their products at lower prices.

Alternatively, if there's enough resistance, it could be another example of 'go woke, go broke.'

There seems to be lot of activity in social media about this topic, and in Finland people have been contacting meat and dairy companies and starting boycotting those that have been using Bovaer in their cattle feed (such as Arla and Valio). Not sure does this reflect the awareness of wider population, but I'm fairly certain that most would, once informed, see the use of Bovaer as unnecessary, unethical and ludicrous practice, so hopefully this will spread enough and we'll see these companies punished by the consumer.

Wonder if they’ll think of a way to put it in chickens and pigs. My husband would refuse not to eat meat so this will be a big problem 😡

In Mexico we are in complete darkness on this issue, according to some sites I found, the government authorized its use by the end of 2022. In this site as in other similar ones -with the same text- and from the company that produces (DSM), talks about its authorization in Mexico and all its supposedly benefits.

And it is very unlikely that we will find out which brands will use it because, here companies have the right not to specify it on the label or in any circumstances.

Anyways, it is good to know about other international brands because some of them also arrive here, such as Lurpark butter, that unfortunately apparently uses bovaer milk.

I used to have it as third choice if I couldn't find the one I usually eat. Expensive as hell (in comparison with the national ones), but that's how the others around here are, with colorants identical to butter, to mention an example! ...but now I've found out that they also mix it with canola oil (according to some people in the X thread). :-(

The Bovaer issue does appear to be an international/ world wide program. Ant22 first covered the United Kingdom’s response in November 2024. The rest of Europe is also appears to be part of the plan. In the UK the supermarkets that are including Bovaer to their products were identified on social media- this meant a store (not participating in the Bovaers program) like FarmFoods experienced total sellout of their Milk by each midday in some areas of the country.

Boycott calls grow over Arla’s Bovaer feed trial for dairy cows | The Express Tribune

Arla Foods faces backlash after launching controversial Bovaer feed trial for methane reduction in dairy cows.
tribune.com.pk tribune.com.pk
Bovaer is designed to reduce enteric methane emissions from cows by 27% on average. It works by suppressing an enzyme in the cow’s stomach that produces methane, a potent greenhouse gas. However, critics argue that the long-term effects of the additive on animal health and the environment are unknown.

There are suggestions that the Bovaer program is connected to Bill Gates.

As a result, consumer calls for a boycott of Arla products are gaining momentum. Shoppers are being encouraged to avoid popular items such as Cravendale, Lurpak Butter, Anchor Spreadable, and Skyr, citing concerns about the introduction of chemicals into the food supply without sufficient testing or regulatory approval.

Budget Cooking UK - A youtube channel grew exponentially during November/December 2024- as consumers flocked to workout which products weren’t infected with Bovaers. As people across the United Kingdom sent in information of which stores to avoid and more importantly where to purchase Bovaer free products; the youtube channel has grown to become an aggregator source for all things none Bovaer. Under the Youtube community post section is to be found the latests on Bovaer from to petitions, how to read the codes on food products to determine if they cooperate with Bovaer standards or nots etc.
