The EFSA has launched a review into the use of 3-nitrooxypropanol (3-NOP), which is sold as Bovaer, in dairy cows.
Analysis has suggested that Bovaer, in combination with high sulphur content in feed ration, increases the risk of metabolic disorders in cows.
Since January 1, all conventional dairy farmers in Denmark with over 50 cows are required to reduce methane emissions by adjusting their feed.

Reducing the methane emissions within Irish grazing systems is a challenge for the sector ahead of emission reduction targets.
Environment
Trials conducted at CERZOO, a dairy farm in Italy have confirmed the efficacy of Bovaer, a methane reducing feed supplement.
There has been a lot of interest in methane inhibitors for use on ruminants on Irish dairy and beef farms.
