Methane-Reducing Cattle Feeds

The Arla Bovaer food additive is being trialled by the brand thanks to a partnership with major retailers in the UK that will help to reduce the amount of methane emissions made by cows. The partnership with Morrisons, ALDI and Tesco will see the food additive used at around 30 farms and will reportedly reduce methane emissions from cows by as much as 27%. The trial will also provide additional insights into how food additives can be scaled up, while also offering more information into how they affect farm operations and beyond.

UK Agricultural Director Paul Dover spoke on the Arla Bovaer food additive trial saying, "We know that reducing methane is a big opportunity when it comes to improving our carbon footprint at farm level and feed additives like Bovaer have huge potential in helping us tackle this issue. Bringing partners together from across the food and grocery industry in this kind of initiative highlights the support there is for British farmers in transitioning to more sustainable farming methods."
