Boycotts against Bovaer feed additive in Britain
Boycotts have been launched in Britain against a feed additive called Bovaer, meant to reduce methane emissions from cattle, due to safety concerns. Despite concerns about its safety, regulators in the US, UK, and EU have approved its use. The additive is comprised of propylene glycol, silicon dioxide, and 3-nitrooxypropanol. Proponents argue that it is broken down by cow digestion and not harmful to humans.
