Farmers in Denmark have reported that their cows are producing less milk and have started collapsing since the introduction of a new methane reducing cow food additive.
They are placing the blame on this new additive called Bovaer, which others have claimed could also ‘contaminate’ milk and cause cancer.
The chemical, which was recently introduced to the cattle’s food, is designed to reduce the amount of methane they produce during digestion. We are expected to believe that the methane gas produced by cows is contributing to climate change.

Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten reported on Friday that it had spoken to a number of farmers who believe Bovaer is harming their herds.
“We have so many people who call us and are unhappy about what is happening in their herds,” said Kjartan Poulsen, chairman of the National Association of Danish Dairy Producers.
Farmers have reported lower yields of milk, and in some cases that the animals have collapsed. Some have even had to be euthanized.
Bovaer is manufactured by the Dutch company DSM and was approved by European Commission as an addition to cattle feed in 2022. The European Food Safety Authority has said the additive poses no risk to the health of cows.
Some of the farmers who spoke to Jyllands-Posten said they had removed Bovaer from the feed and their animals recovered.
The National Association of Danish Dairy Producers has now begun an investigation into the reports.
Chairman Poulson says the next step will be to have farmers sign a declaration that they will stop using the additive if their animals get sick, in accordance with establish rules on animal welfare.
He has also called on the nation’s agricultural minister to declare a “timeout” on the use of the additive, so that more information about its effects can be gathered.
The Danish Veterinary and Food Administration has stated it is aware some farmers have reported problems after using Bovaer. The agency has asked researchers at Aarhus University to investigate.
