Intake twice daily at approximately 12-hour intervals has been shown to control bloat. This presents a management problem with beef cattle under most grazing conditions. This trial tested the effectiveness of poloxalene administered to beef cattle grazing immature alfalfa in a molasses-salt block and as “Bloat Guard” mixed with rolled sorghum grain fed free choice in a self feeder.BeefPoloxaleneBloatAlfalfaConference paper
