Just approved for use in Canada, 3-Nitrooxypropanol, aka 3NOP, is a livestock ingredient that will reduce cattle methane emissions via burps and… you know.
With approval from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), the Bovaer product is said to neutralize methane in the rumen.
When microbes in the rumen break down the feed, hydrogen and carbon dioxide gases are released, which combine when there’s an enzyme present.
But Bovaer suppresses the enzyme, thereby reducing the amount of methane created. With less methane created, it also means fewer possible methane gases released by the cattle.
