Elanco Reduces Methane with Bovaer®

The latest Bovaer^® (3-NOP) announcement comes at a critical time to meet consumer demand for more sustainable foods. Research shows feeding one tablespoon of Bovaer per lactating dairy cow per day can reduce methane emissions about 30% or approximately 1.2 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions annually.¹ Feeding a million cows Bovaer is equivalent to removing 285,000 cars off the road for a year.² Reducing methane reduces the rate of climate warming.
