FDA Approves Elanco Cattle Drug, the First for Reducing Gas Emissions

A product that reduces emissions from farm animal waste? There’s now a drug for that.

The FDA has approved an Elanco (NYSE: ELAN) drug developed to reduce the ammonia gas released from cattle manure. The agency says its Tuesday decision on the product, lubabegron (Experior), marks the first time it has approved a drug that reduces gas emissions from either an animal or its waste.
