Members will have seen recent media coverage regarding a feed additive called Bovaer being trialled to reduce methane emissions from dairy cows to help combat climate change.
To assist in answering incoming queries on this subject, the BFFF this week met with the FSA who have in turn offered reassurances as to its safety.
An FSA safety assessment has concluded there are no safety concerns when Bovaer is used at the approved dose. Meat from animals fed Bovaer is safe to eat and Bovaer is metabolised by the cows so does not pass into the milk.
