title = "Bloat Recognition and Response"

content = """
Bloat (ruminal tympany) can occur when cattle or sheep consume rapidly fermentable
feed or certain forages. Early recognition and intervention improve outcomes.

**Signs:** Distended left flank, discomfort (kicking at belly, lying down and
getting up), labored breathing, and in severe cases collapse. Frothy bloat from
legume pasture often develops within an hour of grazing; free-gas bloat may
occur with grain overload or obstruction.

**Immediate Response:** For frothy bloat, administer bloat guard or oil-based
antifoaming agent per label if available. For free-gas bloat, passage of a
stomach tube may relieve gas; veterinary assistance may be required for
trocarization if animal is in distress. Do not delay veterinary call for
severe or unresponsive cases.

**Prevention:** Avoid turning hungry animals onto lush legume pasture. Provide
dry hay before pasture access. Gradually adapt animals to high-risk forages.
