About this bill
Business Committee opposes making methane-reducing feed a subsidy requirement
The Standing Committee on Business and Industry is considering a private member's bill to halt the use of the methane inhibitor Bovaer in Norwegian agriculture. The committee recommends that the government should not make methane-reducing feed a requirement for livestock subsidies, while a majority supports continued research into natural alternatives. The concern stems from reported problems with Bovaer in Denmark and Norway, as well as Norwegian dairies discontinuing its use.
