¿Es seguro el Bovaer? Dinamarca examina denuncias sobre vacas enfermas pese al aval científico

Las autoridades danesas investigan los casos de vacas enfermas y muertas que algunos ganaderos atribuyen al aditivo Bovaer, usado para reducir emisiones de metano. Aunque la EFSA y otros expertos avalan su seguridad, la polémica viral ha llevado a Copenhague a tomarse las denuncias muy en serio.

00:00¿Cows in denmark dying over the bovair additive?

00:07Cows in denmark are falling seriously ill and even dying due to the use of the feed additive bovair,

00:13a series of viral social media posts claims.

00:16The posts share videos and supposed testimonies of dairy farmers who have given their cows bovair,

00:22which is used to reduce methane emissions, in which they refer to the feed additive as poison.

00:27They say that cows fed with bovair are collapsing, developing diarrhoea, producing less milk and even dying.

00:34Food safety authorities and independent experts across the world are sure that the additive is safe for dairy cows

00:40and doesn't make milk or meat from animals that have taken it unsafe for humans to consume.

00:46The European Food Safety Authority published a scientific opinion in 2021,

00:50in which it said that bovair was effective and safe for dairy cows

00:54and was of no concern for consumer safety or the environment.

00:59It noted that its active substance, 3NOP, can irritate the skin and may be hazardous if inhaled.

01:05The UK's Food Standards Agency more recently published a notice in December 2024,

01:11explaining that cows metabolise bovair so it doesn't pass to their milk or meat.

01:15It also said that 3NOP had passed rigorous safety assessments

01:19and that bovair posed no safety concerns when used at the approved dose.

01:23Denmark mandated the use of methane-reducing feed at the beginning of 2025

01:28to make its agriculture more climate-friendly, vouching for bovair's safety.

01:33Nonetheless, certain bodies such as SEGUS Innovation and Aarhus University

01:38are taking reports of changes in the health and behaviour of dairy cows seriously.

01:43They want to see whether bovair feeding could be contributing to digestive or production changes,

01:48or if other factors like diet composition explain why certain farms are reporting challenges but not others.
