Statement from Michael Crowley, MLA Managing Director
Food safety and care for the environment are Meat & Livestock Australia's (MLA) top concerns. Customers can rest assured that their favourite beef is safe to consume as Bovaer®10 does not pass into meat products.
MLA undertakes scientific research and development studies to ensure Australian consumers have access to high quality, safe red meat that is good for them and produced sustainably.
MLA has spent more than $1 million studying Bovaer®10 over three projects in partnership with industry and universities. MLA is currently undertaking two further research projects to the value of $8.1 million.
MLA found Bovaer®10 can have a big impact on reducing methane emissions. Adding less than a quarter of a teaspoon of Bovaer®10 to 15–20kg of cattle feed can reduce methane emissions by up to 60–90%.
