[QUOTE="AngusLimoX, post: 189258, member: 3319"] I hear a pint of oil is enough, probably depends on size of animal somewhat. Puncturing the rumen with a "trocar and cannula" is explained in one of my vet books as a last ditch effort to save the animals life. Once you poke into the rumen the gas escapes through a hollow tube. You have to know where to place the instrument and chances of infection are elevated at the incision site. I don't worry about bloat, once they hit pasture it is shooting out their rears too fast to cause trouble inside! :shock: [/QUOTE]
