Kenny KravitzDisappointed to see <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Sheffield" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sheffield</a> dairy farm Our Cow Molly buying into completely unsubstantiated right wing conspiracy theories about Bovaer. The video they've linked to takes safety issues when handling the raw substance and tries to conflate it to the far lower concentrations that go into the cattle feed. There's also no evidence that it ends up in the milk, or that it negatively affects milk yields. They're also buying into the campaign wealthy landowners are mounting against Labour's removal of farmers' exemption from inheritance tax in a big way, with banners on display. Guess I'll be finding somewhere else to get my milk and ice cream.<a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Bovaer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bovaer</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/ConspiracyTheories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ConspiracyTheories</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Conspiracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Conspiracy</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/InheritanceTax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InheritanceTax</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/UKPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UKPol</a>

Science Feedback🔍 Why misinformation about a cow feed additive prompted people to throw milk away?In Dec 2024, posts about <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Bovaer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bovaer</a> went viral, with concerns over its safety and calls for boycotts. Some even promoted raw(unpasteurized) milk consumption instead—a risky trend linked to food poisoning outbreaks. Misinformation and threats of a boycott were particularly widespread in the U.K.

The Japan TimesA plan to introduce Bovaer into U.K. cattle feed to reduce methane emissions has prompted a wave of disinformation. <a href="https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2024/12/16/world/sanitizing-cow-burps/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2024/12/16/world/sanitizing-cow-burps/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/commentary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#commentary</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/worldnews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#worldnews</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/agriculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#agriculture</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/greenhousegasses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#greenhousegasses</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/climatechange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#climatechange</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/cows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cows</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bovaer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bovaer</a>

JulesAll the hysteria about <a href="https://social.coop/tags/bovaer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bovaer</a> is particularly ridiculous given that cattle feed in the UK can already legally be 0.15% plastic <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/dec/15/legal-plastic-content-in-animal-feed-could-harm-human-health-experts-warn" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/dec/15/legal-plastic-content-in-animal-feed-could-harm-human-health-experts-warn</a> and dairy cattle are being fed all sorts of antibiotics for mastitis. It's so bizarre that everyone's up in arms about something actually well tested just because it's new, but seem to assume what cattle were eating already must be harmless.<a href="https://social.coop/tags/AnimalAgriculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AnimalAgriculture</a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/ConspiracyTheories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ConspiracyTheories</a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/PlantBased" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PlantBased</a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/Vegan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vegan</a>

michael<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MilkAndMore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MilkAndMore</a> have emailed to emphasise they would never feed their cows <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Bovaer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bovaer</a> and they don't care how much methane they emit. Or something like that. We have already replaced most of our weekly use with <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Oatly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Oatly</a>, may have to consider the residual order. (which we kept in case milk needed for baking, and also to stay in the loop with one of the very few return and refill systems functioning in this country)

Adam Jacobs 🇺🇦This so so weird. Methane-reducing feed additives for cattle such as Bovaer have the potential to make really useful reductions in greenhouse gas emissions from the dairy industry.We should be welcoming them with open arms.And yet there are rampant conspiracy theories about them and people boycotting them.Why? It makes absolutely no sense to me.<a href="https://mas.to/tags/Bovaer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bovaer</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateChange</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/DairyFarming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DairyFarming</a><a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8rjdgre3vpo" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8rjdgre3vpo</a>

Corin Ashwell 🌍 🌿 🍄Maybe some of the people terrified of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bovaer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bovaer</a> will turn to veganism or at least give up dairy products as a result? That should also appeal to their apparent health consciousness.
