Bovaer is being added to beef and milk because it is thought to "help prevent climate change".
Bovaer is a new feed additive or new animal drug. It's made by DSM-firmenich.The major shareholder is Blackrock.
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) published a report in 2006 titled:'Livestock's Long Shadow.'
That report purported to "prove" that methane was causing "climate change".
Specifically, the report's authors claimed that livestock causes 18% of the world's so-called "greenhouse gases".
Methane emitted by livestock is part of the biogenic carbon cycle, a natural process, BTW.
COP26 took place in Glasgow, Scotland, in November 2021. COP's the annual photo-op and feelgood session for jet-setting "climate warriors", in case you don't know.
During COP26, 100 countries signed the Global Methane Pledge to cut methane emissions by 30% by 2030.
So, Bovaer, the Blackrock-financed DSM product, was designed.
• The active ingredient in Bovaer is 3-nitrooxypropanol (3-NOP).
• 3-NOP works by inhibiting an enzyme called methyl-coenzyme M reductase (MCR).
• MCR is involved in the production of methane in a ruminant's stomach (rumen). (in case you're a Democrat, I guess I need to explain that cows are ruminants).
Joe Biden's FDA has approved Bovaer for the US market.
How do you like that?
