Cows are reportedly collapsing and in some cases being euthanized in Denmark following the implementation of a climate policy aimed at reducing a cow’s greenhouse gas emissions, according to a Danish media report. [some emphasis, links added]
The Nordic country has promoted policies that finance large dairy farms to adopt synthetic additives in their feed as of Jan. 1, 2025, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, according to Agriland.
However, farmers are reportedly voicing concerns now that their cows have started giving less milk, collapsing, and in some instances getting so ill that they need to be euthanized, according to the Danish media outlet Jyllands-Posten.
“We have so many people who call us and are unhappy about what is happening in their herds,” Kjartan Poulsen, chairman of the National Association of Danish Dairy Producers, told the publication.
Denmark has aggressive climate goals that include reaching “climate neutrality” by 2050 and reducing emissions by 70% by 2030, compared to 1990 levels.
The cow feed policy is part of Denmark’s emissions-reduction goals, and reportedly, one additive mixed in with cow feed called Bovaer may be the cause of the cows’ health decline, according to Jyllands-Posten.
Bovaer is a “synthetic organic compound that can be added to cattle feed to reduce the methane they produce and expel,” according to UC Davis.
Cow burps emit more methane than cow flatulence, according to NASA.

Complete nonsense to feed the caws with poison to reduce them farting! Only uneducated idiots can proposes nonsense! CO2 does not heat the planet but the sun does! Read my website https://solargsm.com.
Exactly. But the problem is that governments are forcing this additive on farmers.
