interesting info about Bromoform from Wikipedia:

Bromoform is the main trihalomethane produced in beachfront salt water swimming pools with concentrations as high as 1.2 ppm (parts per million). Concentrations in freshwater pools are 1000 times lower. Occupational skin exposure limits are set at 0.5 ppm.

i wonder if any of the bromine winds up in the cow's milk or meat

Also there's no info on the nutritional uptake of the cows. Killing the methane-producing bacteria could potentially mean killing the digestive powerhouse of the animal.
It does not kill the methane-producing bacteria, it just inhibits a specific enzymatic pathway.
