**The Bovine Dystopia: Denmark’s Mandate to Add Bovaer to Cow Feed and Its Alarming Consequences**
Americans may chuckle when they remember Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and her call to eradicate cow flatulence as part of her utopian Green New Deal, but the globalists weren’t kidding. As of October 1, Denmark implemented mandates requiring farmers to add the chemical feed additive Bovaer to their cows’ diet. Those who fail to comply face fines. Yet, reports from Danish farmers reveal troubling side effects: declining milk production, instances of mastitis (a bacterial infection), and even the euthanization of cows adversely affected by this so-called “cure” for climate change.
### A Scheme Straight Out of Dystopian Fiction
The scenario reads like something from a Robert Heinlein or Aldous Huxley novel. Unelected globalist powers, amplified by figures like Greta Thunberg, raise the alarm that the planet is on the brink of disaster unless corporations develop chemical innovations to force-feed cows and curb their greenhouse gas emissions.
In such dystopian tales, readers recognize the nefarious nature of these Big Brother plans and marvel that people could be deceived into endorsing such folly. But this is no fiction.
### Bovaer’s Introduction in the United States
Bovaer is already in use in the United States. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved it for cattle use on May 28, 2024, stating:
> “FDA has no questions at this time regarding whether Bovaer will achieve its intended effect and is expected to pose low risk to humans or animals under the conditions of its intended use.”
The “intended effect” refers to reducing methane emissions from cows.
### Questioning the Science and the Need for Bovaer
The premise behind Bovaer’s use — combating climate change — rests on contested science. Cows have emitted methane through natural fermentation processes for thousands of years, with overall methane levels remaining essentially stable over time. Yet, globalist authorities demand urgent intervention to combat “cowgenic” methane as part of the “Global Methane Pledge,” which aims to reduce anthropogenic methane emissions by 30% from 2020 levels by 2030.
### What Is Bovaer Made Of?
Manufactured by multinational companies DSM-Firmenich and Elanco, Bovaer contains silicon dioxide, propylene glycol, and 3-nitrooxypropanol (3-NOP). While propylene glycol is found in human foods (and antifreeze), 3-NOP is known as a skin irritant, corrosive to eyes, and potentially harmful to inhale. Remarkably, it is deemed acceptable once it passes through a cow’s gut.
Farmers are being told that Bovaer is “safe and effective.” However, the corporate narrative doesn’t emphasize environmental salvation as much as profit. Instead, farmers are encouraged with promises of financial rewards through carbon credits.
### Profit Through Carbon Credits — But at What Cost?
Elanco’s website boasts:
> “Every dairy could use additional, diversified income. That’s where Bovaer® from Elanco comes in. Bovaer is one of the most scientifically researched and recognized methane-reduction feed ingredients globally. Bovaer provides an access point for dairy producers to be financially rewarded for reducing their dairy’s carbon footprint by decreasing their herd’s enteric methane emissions.”
Yet Danish farmers tell a different story. Milk production is declining, veterinary bills are rising, cows are becoming ill, and some have had to be euthanized. Meanwhile, government fines loom over any farmer who discontinues the use of Bovaer.
The only consistent profit appears to benefit the companies pushing this government-subsidized additive.
### The Real Victims: The Cows
Critics of Bovaer argue that its supposed environmental benefits are outweighed by serious risks: threats to human health, harms to bovine fertility (rat studies show decreased sperm production and motility), and unethical treatment of defenseless animals.
The nonprofit journal *Science, Public Health Policy, and the Law* has warned that Bovaer may cause long-term adverse effects on animal welfare and food quality. Moreover, the lack of labeling requirements means consumers unknowingly participate in a global experiment.
The journal posits:
> “Commercial interests, not climate concerns, are driving the rapid push to mandate Bovaer. This issue is compounded by increasing pressure on farmers to adopt Bovaer or face potential financial penalties via manipulated carbon credit systems. Such coercion attacks free markets and individual choice, forcing farmers into economically and ethically compromising positions.”
### A Larger Agenda?
The push for Bovaer could be part of a broader scheme to control food production, reduce the population, and dominate industries. Demanding centralized, industrial farming techniques while seeking to eliminate independent producers fits a larger agenda of monopolization and control.
### Danish Farmers Speak Out
Short-term experiences have been grim. One Danish farmer reported six dead cows within the first month of the mandate. Others are circulating petitions to revoke the requirement. Those who stopped using Bovaer noted that their cows recovered, only to fall ill again upon resuming the additive.
### Cows Are Not the Culprits — The Real Problem Lies Elsewhere
Cows have been unfairly scapegoated for climate change, but the true culprits are corporate entities and their globalist backers. This unfolding story echoes the warnings from George Orwell’s *Animal Farm*: without resistance to such authoritarian control, future generations may be enslaved silently and voicelessly—just like the cows.
