ABSTRACT

The effectiveness of poloxalene was compared with penicillin in the control of bloat in cattle experimentally grazed on Ladino clover. Experiment I involved the use of poloxalene incorporated in grain pellets and Experiment II the use of poloxalene in salt-molasses blocks. When the cattle consumed sufficient amounts of poloxalene (10 g/animal/day), severe and lethal clover bloat was prevented, whether the poloxalene was incorporated in pellets or blocks. Poloxalene maintained its effectiveness much longer than did penicillin. Poloxalene-treated blocks appeared more adaptable to range management practices than poloxalene-treated grain pellets.
