Bloat in dairy cattle is most
likely to occur when the pastures
runs heavy to clover. With the
warm season coming on we will
find the clover increasing in ir
rigated pastures. If grass was
not planted with the clover or if
a poor stand was obtained, bloat
may be somewhat of a problem.
Generally if there is a good
mixture of grass and clover the
danger of bloat is greatly reduced.
The coarser, stiffer grass blades
seem to promote belching or
prevent the fermentation that
causes bloating.
Occasionally in a newly seeded
pasture we will find the clover
developing much faster than the
grass and until the grass catches
up, livestock should be watched
for bloat.
Of all the old suggestions for
preventing bloat these are all
good. First, never put cows on
the pasture hungry. Fill them
up with hay or keep them on the
pasture so they never get hungry.
Plenty of water, salt and a
chance to eat some dry hay
from a rack in the pasture are
good suggestions.
The latest idea is to clip a
strip of the pasture every few
days. The clipped forage will
become dry or partially so and
the cattle will move to this strip
and pick up enough of this dry
pasture clipping to prevent bloat.
It would take 1,900,000 box
cars, which would reach across
the United States five times to
carry the nation’s lumber pro
duction in one year.
DO YOU NEED GLASSES?
Don't keep putting off the need for glasses. If you act
promptly, the fault might be corrected and glasses no longer
needed. Act today and don't take any unnecessary chances
with your eyes.
