Sudden Feed Change
Causes Bloat
x4FITH the coming of spring, when
W. cattle are changed from dry feed

KaFITH the coming of spring, when
W. cattle are changed from dry feed
to pasture, to avoid serious loss
it is necessary for the farmer to watch
carefully for bloat.
Bloat is a form Of Indigestion due to
the excessive formation and accumula-
ton of various gases in the paunch or
rumen. The attack is especially apt to
occur when cattle are suddenly changed
from a day diet to green clover or al
falfa. 1t is often seen during warm,
wet weather, or when heavy dew or
rain moistens the foliage.
The chief symptom of bloating is a
sudden distension in the left flank,
which swells up and appears as tight as
a drum head when thumped with the fin
ger. Relief must be immediate if suffoca
tion is to be avoided, and consists in
providing an artificial outlet for the
gas by "tapping'' the animal. This is
best accomplished by inserting a trocar
and canula into the most prominent por-
ton of the swelling. To prevent furth-
er gas formation, administer drench of
two ounces of turpentine in pint of
raw linseed oil or quart of new milk.
As a prevention, avoid turning the
cattle out until the dew or rain has
dried off. In addition, giving full
feed of dry roughage, such as the ami
mails are accustomed to, just before turn
ing them out, will be found helpful! In
preventing this trouble. -sA--r.~-s'4' =
