• Cows are allowed to fart once more in the UK

A major UK trial of a controversial feed additive designed to reduce emissions

of planet-warming methane gas by dairy cows has ended.

Arla Foods, owner of the UK's largest dairy co-operative, is now reviewing the

results of the tests on 30 farms before any decision on future use is made.

The launch of the Bovaer supplement trial last year saw concerns raised

over food safety, as well as misinformation and conspiracy theories posted online,

with videos on social media showing people flushing milk down the toilet in protest.

Bovaer is now the focus of an investigation in Denmark after farmers raised fresh

concerns but manufacturer DSM-Firmenich said the additive was "proven, effective and safe".
