The UK Government has today launched a UK-wide call for evidence asking agricultural industry, scientists and the wider public for information on the use of new types of animal feed products that can reduce methane emissions from livestock.
Ruminant livestock – cows and sheep - are the leading cause of farm greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, feed products with methane inhibiting properties have shown potential in reducing reduce GHG emissions, especially from housed cattle. These products may include ingredients like methane production inhibitors, seaweeds, essential oils, organic acids, probiotics, and antimicrobials

This ^^ is needing an overwhelming response before it becomes government policy for us to feed ruminants another input manufactured by big/corporate pharma.
After years of telling us to reduce the use of antimicrobial products, all of a sudden it seems to be ok to feed them to ruminants.
All on the back of science
