Beef - Bloat

• Intensively fed beef cattle typically have a high proportion of rolled cereals in their diet, which quickly produces gas during digestion
  
  
• Cattle on this system are not able to expel gas fast enough during rumination, due to the small quality of long fiber in the diet
  
  
• Feeding live yeast reduces the amount of methane and ammonia produced in the rumen during the fermentation process, so avoiding any problems of bloat
  
  
• More efficient rumen fermentation means less energy wasted as methane and less protein lost as ammonia
