The incidence of bloat in cattle grazing legumes can
be reduced by maintaining at least 50% of the stand as
grass. Also, cattle should not be turned out onto a pasture
with a high percentage of legumes when cattle are
hungry or the pasture is wet. Once cattle are adapted
to legume/grass pastures, they can graze it even when
wet. A final option is to use “bloat guard” blocks which
contain poloxolene.
