Capturing value from your sustainability efforts
Dairy producers have access to a new value stream opportunity by using product interventions and third-party, scientifically validated feeding protocols to monetize greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions via a newly created carbon inset market.
Producer implements third-party, scientifically validated feeding protocols aimed at reducing GHG emissions. When dairy producers incorporate Bovaer ® or Rumensin® into their feed rations and use UpLook™, they will gain carbon market access to monetize GHG emission reductions.
UpLook calculates and analyzes on-farm data, allowing producers to quantify the impact of their operation’s GHG reduction data to then be marketed on carbon marketplaces
A dairy’s carbon assets are calculated and marketed through Athian, Truterra or other marketplaces. These marketplaces connect consumer packaged goods (food companies, restaurants and retailers), industry processors and dairy operations by enabling the monetization of validated interventions.

Elanco’s sustainability programs are designed to meet producers where they are in their carbon market journey. Elanco strives to advance animal protein sustainability by providing products and services that are value contributors for our customers.
UpLook
A platform to quantify producers' carbon footprint on their operations. UpLook allows producers the opportunity to monetize their carbon credits.
Bovaer
Bovaer reduces enteric methane emissions, enabling the industry to reduce absolute GHG emissions with no negative impact on milk production and quality.
Rumensin
By helping the dairy cow better use the feed she’s given, Rumensin allows dairy farmers to produce more milk with fewer resources and reduce methane by approximately 5%1.

For All Products
The label contains complete use information, including cautions and warnings. Always read, understand and follow the label and use directions.
BOVAER
Caution: Do not feed undiluted. For use in feed for lactating dairy cows only.
Directions for Use: Thoroughly mix Bovaer 10 into a total mixed ration at 540‐720 g/ton of complete feed (100% dry matter basis) to provide 27.2‐36.3 mg 3‐nitrooxypropanol per pound (60‐80 mg per kilogram) of dry matter intake. Feed continuously to lactating dairy cows.
RUMENSIN
Caution: Consumption by unapproved species or feeding undiluted may be toxic or fatal. Do not feed to veal calves.
Dairy Cows: For increased milk production efficiency (production of marketable solids-corrected milk per unit of feed intake):
Feeding Directions: Total Mixed Rations (“complete feed”): Feed continuously to dry and lactating dairy cows a total mixed ration (“complete feed”) containing 11 to 22 g/ton monensin on a 100% DM basis.
Component Feeding Systems (including top dress): Feed continuously to dry and lactating cows a Type C medicated feed containing 11 to 400 g/ ton monensin. The Type C medicated feed must be fed in a minimum of 1.0 lb. of feed/cow/day to provide 185 to 660 mg/hd/day monensin to lactating cows or 115 to 410 mg/hd/day monensin to dry cows. This provides cows with similar amounts of monensin they would receive by consuming total mixed rations containing 11 to 22 g/ton monensin on a 100% DM basis.
