Sudden Feed Change
Causes Bloat
ITH th o coming of spring, when
c a ttle are changed from dry feed
to p asture, to avoid serious loss
it is necessary for the farm er to w atch
carefu lly for bloat.
B loat is a form of indigestion due to
th e excessive form ation and accumula
tio n of various gases in th e paunch or
rum en. The a tta c h is especially ap t to
occur when cattle are suddenly changed
from a day diet to green clover or al
fa lfa . It is o ften seen during warm,
w et w eather, or when heavy dew or
n i n m oistens the foliage.
The chief sym ptom of blo atin g i t a
gudden distension in th e le ft flank,
w hich swells up and appears as tig h t as
a drum head when thum ped w ith the fin
er B elief must be im m ediate if suffoca
ion la to bo avoided, and consists in
p roviding an a rtific ia l ou tlet for the
gas by “ ta p p in g " the anim al. T his is
b ast accom plished by in sertin g a tro car
and canula into tho most prom inent par
>on of the -well g. To prevent fo rth
er gas form al
adm inister a drench o f
tw o ounces of t rpentm e in a p in t of
raw linseed oil or a q u art of new milk.
As a p rev en ti a. avoid tu rn in g the
c a ttle out until th e dew or rain ha*
dried off. In addition, giving a full
feed of dry rm g l. ige,
