    The evidence keeps growing: Bovaer® delivers consistent methane reductions, 2022 to 2025 and beyond

    Bovaer® is a feed supplement that reduces enteric methane emissions by on average 30% in dairy cows and 45% in beef cattle, backed by more than 15 years of scientific research. It is the most extensively studied solution to enteric methane from livestock, with more than 140 peer-reviewed publications documenting its performance across diets, breeds, and production systems. This article synthesizes the most significant findings from 2022 to 2025, spanning dairy cows, beef cattle, and small ruminants across more than 25 countries. The findings address how dose and diet composition shape the size of the reduction, whether the effect holds over a full lactation, and how Bovaer® performs in partial grazing systems.

    Large-scale farm data from 162 Dutch dairy farms and 20,000 cows confirms that Bovaer® reduces methane emissions by 30% without affecting milk production, animal health, or fertility. Developed by dsm-firmenich and backed by more than 110 peer-reviewed publications and 150 on-farm studies, Bovaer® was used in partnership with FrieslandCampina and Agrifirm in dairy herds across the Netherlands. The results were consistent across both phases of the validation: same milk, same herd health, same farm routine.
