A government climate policy promoting greenie-drugged cattle feed is causing cows to drop like flies.

Cows are reportedly collapsing and in some cases being euthanized in Denmark following the implementation of a climate policy aimed at reducing a cow’s greenhouse gas emissions, according to a Danish media report. [some emphasis, links added]
The Nordic country has promoted policies that finance large dairy farms to adopt synthetic additives in their feed as of Jan. 1, 2025, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, according to Agriland.
However, farmers are reportedly voicing concerns now that their cows have started giving less milk, collapsing, and in some instances getting so ill that they need to be euthanized, according to the Danish media outlet Jyllands-Posten.
“We have so many people who call us and are unhappy about what is happening in their herds,” Kjartan Poulsen, chairman of the National Association of Danish Dairy Producers, told the publication.
Denmark has aggressive climate goals that include reaching “climate neutrality” by 2050 and reducing emissions by 70% by 2030, compared to 1990 levels.
The cow feed policy is part of Denmark’s emissions-reduction goals, and reportedly, one additive mixed in with cow feed called Bovaer may be the cause of the cows’ health decline, according to Jyllands-Posten.
Bovaer is a “synthetic organic compound that can be added to cattle feed to reduce the methane they produce and expel,” according to UC Davis.
Cow burps emit more methane than cow flatulence, according to NASA.
So feck with the digestion system and get bad results . Didn’t some chinese do that with melamine in milk powder as chemically it was technically the same but it killed babies.

Lactalis just fired 270 French dairy families yesterday. https://bit.ly/4hWB8pl
The same Lactalis that’s spending €11 BILLION on new processing plants.
Let that sink in. The world’s largest dairy company—processes milk in 51 countries, owns 250 plants, makes Président cheese and Parmalat milk—just told 270 farm families their milk isn’t worth the diesel to collect it.
But here’s what should scare every dairy farmer from Wisconsin to New Zealand:
They’re not broke. They’re restructuring the entire industry.
Their numbers tell the real story:
→ Profit margin on YOUR commodity milk: 1.2%
→ Profit margin on their premium yogurt: 20%
→ Investment in NEW processing: €11 billion
→ Investment in farm support: €0
Those 270 French families? Some had been shipping to Lactalis for three generations. One farmer near Normandy told French media his grandfather started selling to them in 1947. Now his son has 18 months to “find alternative arrangements.”
This is the template every processor is copying:
I just got off the phone with a contact at another major processor (can’t name them yet). They’re running THE EXACT SAME PLAYBOOK:
Cut small farms under 500 cows
Demand 4.2% minimum butterfat
Lock in mega-dairies with 10-year contracts
Invest everything in component extraction
Remember when Danone dropped 89 organic farms in 2022?
Remember when Saputo cut 200 suppliers in 2021?
Remember when Dean Foods went bankrupt in 2019?
This. Is. The. Pattern.
The math is brutal and it’s global:
France: Only farms over 80 cows surviving
Netherlands: 30% of dairies closing by 2030
Canada: Quota system can’t save small farms anymore
USA: 89% of small dairies unprofitable
Australia: Processor consolidation accelerating
While Lactalis cuts farm families, they’re partnering with precision fermentation companies. By 2030, they’ll be making “dairy” proteins in steel tanks for 1/5 the cost.
Your milk won’t just be worthless. It’ll be obsolete.
Three things happening RIGHT NOW:
Component Segregation: Processors are building plants that ONLY take high-component milk. If you’re shipping 3.6% butterfat, you’re already on the cut list.
Scale Elimination: That 270 farms Lactalis cut? Average size was 280 cows. Every processor has the same spreadsheet with YOUR name and cow count.
Fermentation Preparation: Lactalis, Fonterra, Danone—they’re ALL investing in fermentation. They’re planning for when they don’t need cows at all.
One of those French farmers posted this on Twitter yesterday (translated): “My father survived two milk crises. My grandfather survived World War II. I can’t survive Lactalis.”
That hit me hard.
Because it’s not about working harder. It’s not about being a better farmer. It’s about multinational corporations deciding your family legacy isn’t profitable enough.
You’ve got maybe 18 months before your processor makes the same announcement. Not because milk prices are low. Not because there’s too much supply. But because they can make more money WITHOUT YOU.
What’s your plan? Because “hoping it doesn’t happen here” isn’t working for those 270 French families today.
And please, don’t tell me “it’s different here.” That’s what French farmers said too.
Share this if you think farmers deserve to know what’s coming.

some of that will have to do with EU subsidies. Big farms get the most
Where do the mad cat women of the SPCA stand on this? Why isn’t Mike King of ‘Free the Piggy’ fame getting his balls in a twist about it? Has anyone asked the mad bitch in Hunterville who insists on shade for sheep why she isn’t in Denmark painting signs?
Oh, that’s right. It’s to do with climate change & the animals are now merely collateral damage to the cult of the insane.
