QUESTION

For the prevention of primary bloat?

OPTIONS

(A) Mix the wheat straw with green fodder before offering it to animals
(B) Avoid feeding green fodder
(C) Both are true
(D) None of the above

ANSWER

(A) Mix the wheat straw with green fodder before offering it to animals

EXPLANATION

Primary frothy bloat on lush forage can be reduced by mixing green fodder with dry roughage such as wheat straw, which lowers the tendency to form stable foam and moderates intake. Completely avoiding green fodder is unnecessary, so only the first preventive statement is correct.
