A note from Riverfords:
“Soil Association organic standards stipulate that all ingredients/components of a feed additive must be actively approved for use and be deemed safe and nutritionally useful for the animal. The main components that make up Bovaer are not included in the list of approved products/compounds and as a result, Bovaer would not currently be permitted for use in organic farming.”
