On November 26, 2024, Arla Foods, the U.K.'s largest dairy provider, launched an initiative with retailers Morrisons, Tesco, and Aldi to reduce methane emissions from cows.
The initiative seeks to introduce Bovaer, a feed additive, to dairy cow feeding routines to reduce farming's climate impact.
Bovaer achieves this by suppressing the enzyme in a cow's stomach that produces methane, a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change. This results in reduced emissions.
