3-Nitrooxypropanol, abbreviated 3NOP, is an organic compound with the formula HOCH₂CH₂CH₂ONO₂. It is the mononitrate ester of 1,3-propanediol. The compound is an inhibitor of the enzyme methyl coenzyme M reductase (MCR). MCR catalyzes the final step in methanogenesis.^[1] When it is fed to ruminants, their methane production is diminished.^[2] In 2021 Bovaer, a feed additive for cows produced by DSM based on this compound, has been approved in Brazil, one of the world's largest meat exporters and also Chile.^[3] In 2022, it was approved for use on dairy cows in the EU.^[4]^[5]
