Read why dairy farmers still use so much Bloat Oil then answer a question
Farmers don’t often discuss bloat with their vet unless there has been a severe outbreak. We know bloat oil is still widely used, but is not serving them well. Farmers may not be aware of the alternative that not only outperforms bloat oil but is NOW less expensive.
Bloat oils are simply used to treat bloat with no added benefits. Rumenox helps protect herds for a longer period, lasting up to 3X longer in the rumen than bloat oil. This is very important, particularly on wet days when cows aren’t drinking much.
Farmers switching from bloat oils to Rumenox® will see both an improvement in herd health and cost savings.
