00:00Cows in Denmark are falling seriously ill and even dying due to the use of the feed additive BOVAIR, a series of viral social media post claims.
00:16The posts share videos and supposed testimonies of dairy farmers who have given their cows BOVAIR, which 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 and doesn't make milk or meat from animals that have taken it unsafe for humans to consume.
00:45The European Food Safety Authority published a scientific opinion in 2021, in which it said that BOVAIR was effective and safe for dairy cows and was of no concern for consumer safety or the environment.
00:58It noted that its active substance, 3NOP, can irritate the skin and may be hazardous if inhaled.
01:04The UK's Food Standards Agency more recently published a notice in December 2024, explaining 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 and 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 to make its agriculture more climate-friendly, vouching for BOVAIR's safety.
01:32Nonetheless, certain bodies such as SEGUS Innovation and Aarhus University are taking reports of changes in the health and behaviour of dairy cows seriously.
01:42They want to see whether BOVAIR feeding could be contributing to digestive or production changes or if other factors, like diet composition, explain why certain farms are reporting challenges but not others.
