Stop bloating
Pfizer Animal Health has reintroduced Bloat Guard to the Canadian marketplace after a one-year absence.
Bloat Guard is available as a medicated top dressing feed premix.
Its active ingredient is poloxalene, which works by reducing the surface tension of foam bubbles in the rumen. The bubbles burst and release their gas. This relaxes the esophagus and allows the gas to pass safely out of the rumen.
It can be fed to all cattle including lactating dairy animals with no withdrawal period. Potency is unaffected by pelleting and remains stable at temperatures up to 37 C.
For more information contact your veterinarian or phone 1-800-461-0917.
