We have received numerous comments, messages and phone calls today enquiring whether we feed, or will be feeding, our cows the Bovaer Feed additive. We can categorically confirm that we do not feed additives of any form, and we will not ever be doing that. The Bovaer Feed additive is being trialled on a small number of farms within the cows diet to reduce methane emissions - not on our farm.
We personally think the additive is trying to fix a problem that isn’t that big to start with, there are many other causes of emissions in the world that could be significantly reduced without feeding extras to our cows!
Our cows diet is 85% homegrown on our farm, including grass, wheat, barley and maize. The rest is made up of cereals, which is a bit like your breakfast muesli, made up of vitamins and cereals to give them a healthy, balanced diet.
We would like to assure you that our milk is high quality, high welfare, low food miles and we are incredibly proud of our product.
As always, thank you for supporting your local dairy farm
