Iowa State Starts Long Range Research On Bloat
Iowa State College advances its most complete long range program to study bloat in dairy cattle. The cooperative project involves husbandry, biochemistry, veterinary physiology, agronomy and related fields led by Norman L. Jacobson. Legumes like Ladino clover and alfalfa link to bloat while birdsfear and tea fall may not. Soil fertility and climate also appear to affect bloat occurrence. Both pasture and feedlot rations trigger bloat. The team seeks specific ingredients to induce and understand bloat to advance progress.
