CLOVER BLOAT MAY
USUALLY BE PREVENTED
Cattle Should Be Changed From Dry
to Green Feed Gradually.

A sudden change from dry feed to
a green, succulent feed of any kind is
likely to cause bloating in cattle.
This is especially likely to occur when
they Craze on white clover in the
spring when it is young and green. or
when it is in full bloom. 1t rapidly
ferments in the paunch, and the gas
there produced causes distension of
this large stomach on the left side of
the animal, with the characteristic ap-
pearance. and the general train of
symptoms. familiar to most cattle
owners.
Preventive measures always give
the most satisfactory results in ward
ing of this condition. When first turn
Ing cattle on clover, it should be done
gradually until the digestive organs
become accustomed to the change;
and the safest way is not to permit
them to eat this succulent feed foI
longer than twenty minutes to hall
an hour the first day, and increase the
length Of the period each day after
wards until. it seems to have lost itl
bloating effect. It is safer. also. not
to turn the cattle on. this pasture
while the dew is on 1t.
Another preventive method is tt
give the cattle some dry feed, such az
hay. before turning them on the clio
yer. This. Of course. lessons the
quantity of clover consumed and tends
to prevent fermentation of the greer
feed.
After a short while. when the stom
ach has accommodated itself to thu
change from the dry to the succulen
iced, the animals may consume largt
quantities of the latter without appar
ent inconvenience.-W. H. Dalrympll
