> The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved Elanco Animal Health’s methane-reducing feed ingredient for lactating dairy cows, the company said on Tuesday.
> One tablespoon of Bovaer per lactating dairy cow a day can reduce methane emissions by about 30%, or about 1.2 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions annually, the company said.
> Bovaer works by suppressing the enzyme in a cow’s rumen, part of its stomach, that forms methane.
…
> Feeding one million cows Bovaer would reduce emissions equivalent to removing more than 285,000 cars from the road for a year, Elanco estimated.
