"Bharwad has learnt from elders in the village that it is always better to treat bloat promptly. The remedy consists of boiled groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) and plain water. Heat about 50 millilitres of groundnut oil and bring to a boil. Poured into a tall vessel containing about 250 millilitres of water. When the mixture cools down, stir it well and drench to the afflicted animal. This brings almost instantaneous relief from bloat."

Disease Description
|
Bloat is a form of indigestion marked by excessive accumulation of gas in the rumen. Immediately after cattle consume a meal, the digestive process creates gases in the rumen. Most of the gases are eliminated by eructation (belching). Any interruption of this normal gas elimination results in gas accumulation or bloat.
