Bloat-Drench is ready for use as an oral drench for individual cattle, for mixing with molasses in bail feeding and to be metered into drinking troughs or drum rollers.
Drench application
Bloat-Drench is ready to use as a drench and requires no further dilution or mixing. Drenching individual animals with 21 mL of Bloat-Drench twice daily will prevent bloat. A suitable time for dairy animals is after each milking. It may be necessary in extreme bloat risk situations to increase the rate of dosage to 42 mL twice daily.
Bail feeding with molasses
Where facilities are available in the dairy, Bloat-Drench may be mixed at a ratio of 1:1 with molasses and fed at the rate of 55 mL per head twice daily in the bail. Cows which do not drink the mixture should be drenched with Bloat-Drench at the drench application dosage.
Drinking troughs and drum rollers
If adequate metering devices are available, Bloat-Drench may be added to drinking troughs or drum rollers to provide cattle with an intake of 42 mL of Bloat-Drench daily. Where there are no metering devices available, allow 42 mL per 15 litres of water trough capacity. As water consumption is variable it may be necessary to adjust the level of Bloat-Drench added to the drinking trough. It is vital that no other source of drinking water be made available.
