The Authority also determined that there were no concerns for the environment arising out of use of the product in feed for dairy cows.
"The additive is considered to be efficacious to reduce enteric methane production when given orally at the concentration of 60 mg 3-NOP/kg DM feed (corresponding to 53 mg/kg complete feed, DM 88%) to dairy cows. This conclusion is extrapolated to all other ruminants for milk production and reproduction," concluded EFSA's FEEDAP panel.
This opinion progresses the Bovaer EU authorization application to the final stage of approval by the EU Commission's Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed (SCoPAFF).
Such a green light, said DSM, would allow it to start European market development for the feed additive in the first half of 2022.
Ivo Lansbergen, DSM's president, animal nutrition and health, commented: "It is very timely, after the IPCC's climate change report and the recent Global Methane Pledge during COP26, that a positive opinion has been given for a feed additive that we know can have such a beneficial environmental impact. We are hopeful that the European Commission will approve the application with speed so that we can offer a scientifically proven effective answer to the challenge of farming's methane emissions."
Bovaer is the result of a decade of scientific research, including more than 50 peer-reviewed studies published in independent scientific journals and 45 on-farm trials in 13 countries across four continents.
Since receiving full regulatory approvals in Brazil and Chile for Bovaer in early September 2021, DSM has signed a development agreement with JBS, one of the world's largest food producers.
