Description
Bloat in ruminants is the distention of the rumen-reticulum, or paunch, with gas. This gas forms during rapid fermentation of the feed in the rumen. The gases that cause the distention are mainly carbon dioxide and methane. Distention is a tight ballooning of the underlying rumen from the ribs to the
hip, most often seen on the left side of the animal.
The usual mechanism of “belching” and letting gas out through the animal’s mouth has failed and so the gas accumulates. Distention can occur from pasture bloat and feedlot bloat.
Olsson’s Bloat-Liq is a molasses-based, anti-foaming block (10% Alcohol Ethoxylate Teric 12A 23) designed to relieve the symptoms of this annual killer.
Bloat-Liq is rain resistant, easy to use and is one of the best value bloat products on the market.
