A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11864567B2) discloses a method for reducing gas emissions, specifically ammonia and carbon dioxide, from bovines by administering lubabegron or its physiologically acceptable salt. The method aims to increase the hot carcass weight of the bovine, potentially benefiting the livestock industry by improving efficiency and reducing environmental impact.
In addition to lubabegron, the patent claims the administration of other active ingredients such as monensin, tylosin, and melengestrol, or their physiologically acceptable salts, to achieve the desired reduction in gas emissions. The method specifies that the reduction can be measured per pound of the bovine's weight while alive or per pound of its hot carcass weight. By focusing on bovines, particularly cows, this method presents a targeted approach to addressing environmental concerns related to livestock farming while potentially enhancing the economic outcomes for producers through increased carcass weight.
