Tympanitis, also known as bloat, is a disorder caused by excessive feeding of lush green fodders in cattle. Lush grasses and legumes often contain high amounts of soluble carbohydrates, which can ferment rapidly in the rumen, producing excess gas.
This leads to the accumulation of gas in the rumen, causing distension and discomfort in the animal, and can be life-threatening if not managed promptly.
Information Booster:
The fermentation of these highly digestible feeds leads to gas buildup, causing abdominal bloating.
Prevention includes gradually acclimatizing cattle to new pasture, providing adequate roughage, and avoiding overfeeding lush greens.
