Lab-Tested & Verified: No Traces of Bovaer or Rumin8 

 

At Nutraviva we are committed to transparency and maintaining the highest quality standards in our products. Recently, we have received numerous inquiries from our stockists and customers about the presence of feed additives, Bovaer and Rumin8, in our Collagen Hydrolysate and Beef Gelatin products.

To provide clear, science-backed reassurance to our customers, we undertook independent laboratory testing—and the results are in!

 

What Is Bovaer?

Bovaer is a feed additive designed to reduce methane emissions in cattle, aiming to support more sustainable livestock farming. Approved for use in over 68 countries, it has been positioned as an environmental solution in the industry. However, many consumers have raised concerns about its potential impact on the purity of animal-derived products.

 

What Is Rumin8?

Rumin8 is a feed management tool designed to optimise cattle nutrition and productivity while potentially reducing methane emissions. Like Bovaer, it is used in efforts to create more sustainable livestock systems. However, concerns remain about the presence of such additives in animal-derived products and their impact on purity and natural integrity.

 

Why Are Consumers Concerned?

With growing awareness around food sources and additives, many customers want reassurance that their products remain as natural as possible. Questions about how feed additives may influence product quality, nutritional content, or long-term effects have led to increasing scrutiny in the market.

 

Our Commitment to Grass-Fed & Finished Cattle

We are proud to confirm that our bovine-based products come from 100% grass-fed cattle, meaning they graze on open pastures. Feed additives like Bovaer and Rumin8 have never been part of their feeding regime.

 

Independent Lab Testing Results

To reinforce our transparency, we commissioned independent lab testing to check for any traces of Bovaer and Rumen8 in our Collagen Hydrolysate and Beef Gelatin powders. The results confirmed that no traces of these additives were found. This scientific verification underscores our dedication to providing clean, high-quality nutrition without unwanted additives.

 

Animal Welfare & Ethical Considerations

While our commitment is to grass-fed and finished cattle, we prioritise animal welfare above all. In situations where extreme conditions, such as drought, affect pasture availability, our suppliers take responsible actions to ensure the well-being of the animals, never compromising their health.

 

Trust in Every Serving

We understand that trust is built on transparency. Our lab testing results reaffirm our promise to deliver products that align with the highest standards of quality and purity. We remain committed to keeping our customers informed and will continue exploring independent verification options to maintain this trust.
