Danish farmers: Bovaer is animal cruelty
By Rhoda Wilson on April 14, 2025
Kent Nielsen, a citizen journalist in Denmark, has published a video and Twitter posts stating that two Danish farmers have already reported that cows being fed Bovaer have developed fevers, diarrhoea and mastitis. One farmer has had 6 cows die after feeding them Bovaer.
The Danish government has been force implementing the feed additive Bovaer into the national herd. The programme began in April 2024 when the Danish government set aside 518 million Danish crowns ($74 million) to finance the feed additive. By January 2025, farmers were being fined for not adding the harmful chemical to cattle feed.
A petition against the use of Bovaer, which was started in January 2025, says, “As of January 2025, the government will force farmers to add the chemical Bovaer to feed additives … Farmers who do not join will be punished with fines by the state.”
The petition goes on to state that several experts have come forward expressing concerns about the health consequences for both animals and humans who consume Bovaer-fed animal products. “Critics argue that the additive’s long-term effects on animal health and the environment are unknown,” the petition states.
