Misinformation

Written by  Milking It

OPINION: Still on Bovaer, a wave of misinformation is circulating online wrongly linking Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates to the feed additive.

Gates has invested in a similar bovine animal feed additive through Rumin8, not the one he is being linked to online. In June of this year Rumin8 announced positive top-line results from its three cattle trials of its investigational methane-reducing feed additive.

According to reports, the additive has not yet received regulatory approval in the US.

Many social media users are citing unsubstantiated claims about the additive's safety, wrongly linking Gates to Bovaer and yet another Gates conspiracy theory.
