Farm Notes Tips to Avoid Cattle Bloat
Fall is peak bloat risk for pasture cattle. Manage legume intake to 25 percent with lush legumes and 40 percent with late bud alfalfa. Limit grazing area, prevent selective eating, use green chop, and fertilize with nitrogen to suppress legumes. Inspect cattle hourly during day and avoid high risk setups at night by grazing grass heavy pastures or providing cereal grain pasture or hay away from risk. Have mineral oil ready and use proper dosing to prevent lung entry. If a cow staggers or goes down, an incision in the left flank may be needed to release bloat, with veterinary suturing required. Prompt action saves the cow.
