Olsson Bloat-Liq Livestock Bloat Control Supplement 15kg

A supplement used as an effective aid in Bloat Control. Suitable for Livestock. Bloat in ruminants is the distention of the rumen-reticulum, or paunch, with gas. This gas forms during rapid fermentation of the feed in the rumen. The gases that cause the distention are mainly carbon dioxide and methane. Distention is a tight ballooning of the underlying rumen from the ribs to the hip, most often seen on the left side of the animal. The usual mechanism of €œbelching€ and letting gas out through the animal€™s mouth has failed and so the gas accumulates. Distention can occur from pasture bloat and feedlot bloat. Olsson€™s Bloat-Liq is a molasses-based, anti-foaming block (10% Alcohol Ethoxylate Teric 12A 23) designed to relieve the symptoms of this annual killer. Bloat-Liq is rain resistant, easy to use and is one of the best value bloat products on the market.
