Better Bloat Control Now Available Says Eldridge
County Extension Director Maurice E. Eldridge notes preventive methods reduce or prevent bloat in Sioux County cattle. Dairy nutritionist N L Jacobsen of Iowa State University reports green-chopped forage with crude soybean oil and dry lot feeding yields bloat control in Iowa State tests. Oil at one fourth pound per 1000 pounds daily, or oil rate on pasture, with daily plot rotation, can stop bloat for about four hours. Daily penicillin 35 to 70 mg per animal also controls bloat for 7 to 10 days, with rotation or combination extending effect. Grass and legume pasture mixes and good grass hay help. avoid young growing alfalfa or clover. Applies to pasture bloat, not feedlot bloat from high grain. details available via Iowa State mimeo DH A403 from county extension in Orange City.
