FDA Approves Bovaer Cow Feed Additive to Reduce Methane Emmissions

Adding a chemical additive to cows to reduce methane emissions is now approved here in the U.S. Folks in the UK are protesting, but the story remains a sleeper here in the U.S.

The climate hucksters have something to sell. Common sense would tell you that this is nuts. One wonders where Kennedy will come down on this in his new role as head of DHHS, what with all of his support over climate change.

What did the cows ever do to us one has to ask. Ask John Kerry about this nonsense.

I suppose its better than an earlier post and outright killing them.

Newsweek picks up the story:

Bovaer, a cow feed additive given a green light by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the U.S. for reducing methane emissions, is facing a battle for public acceptance as experts assure opponents it is safe.

Bovaer is a new feed additive that claims to significantly reduce the emission of methane, a greenhouse gas that is driving climate change, in dairy cows. DSM-Firmenich, the company behind Bovaer claims it could reduce cow methane emissions by between 30-45 percent. The Global Methane Pledge requires a 30 percent reduction in anthropogenic methane emissions by 2030 from 2020 levels.

But opponents are boycotting the product, with some citing a report by the U.K.’s Food Standards Agency last year, which found that one ingredient, “3-NOP “should be considered corrosive to the eyes, a skin irritant, and potentially harmful by inhalation” to humans handling it. But multiple experts say that there are no harmful chemicals passed through to consumers because they are filtered out by the cow’s digestive system.

….

According to Katie Cook, VP of livestock sustainability at Elanco, 150 farms in the U.S. have now enrolled in the online tool, Uplook, which will be used to quantify greenhouse gas emission reductions when using Bovaer, following the ruling, meaning shoppers could see milk which includes the additive on shelves soon.

How did this all start? Back in 2011 Bunk posted this:

 Another EPA farting away millions of dollars in studies. But here is the fearsome sentence:

The $14.6 million NAEMS study, led by Purdue University, was financed by a consent agreement between industry and the EPA to measure emission levels from CAFOs and to develop improved methods for estimating emissions in order to regulate CAFOs and monitor their compliance with the Clean Air Act and other environmental protection laws. 

Here is a link to The Cow Fart Chart

In other words, they entered into a legal agreement. Why in the world did they do that? Who entered into the agreement on behalf of the industry?  Guess who will be sued if they do not comply after the EPA comes up with the standard? There will be no more Bessies. Family farms will go, but big Agra will not doubt get waivers. That is how they will do this little number.

Here tis:

The emissions released by cows during milk production may be creating enough environmental pollution to negatively affect human health, which is why we’ve decided to include dairy cow emissions in our research into Milk ProCon.org’s core question “Is drinking milk healthy for humans?”

The US government does not have (as of Jan. 17, 2011) regulations for the amount of allowable air pollutants from dairy farms. In 2007 the EPA began collaborating with eight universities on a National Air Emissions Monitoring Study (NAEMS) to develop such regulations. Full story here at Milk Procon Org

All is well in the swamp.
