https://www.dsm.com/corporate/sustainability/our-purpose/min... seems to be more than scientists think it could help.

They claim:

“Just a quarter teaspoon of Bovaer® per cow per day suppresses the enzyme that triggers methane production in a cow’s rumen and consistently reduces enteric methane emission by approximately 30% for dairy cows and even higher percentages (up to 90%) for beef cows. It takes effect immediately and it’s safely broken down in the cow’s normal digestive system into compounds already naturally present in the cow's stomach. As soon as the additive is not fed anymore, full methane production resumes and there are no lasting effects in the cow“

If that is correct, it also may end up being a highly profitable product for that company.
