In response, Vicchem is reminding Australian livestock producers and rural retailers of the importance of early intervention with Vicchem’s Bloat Drench, a trusted tool in managing frothy bloat.
Bloat, especially the frothy type, occurs when stable foam forms in the rumen and prevents the normal release of gas.
If left untreated, it can cause serious animal welfare issues, loss of production, and even death.
Vicchem’s Bloat Drench is a fast-acting formulation designed to quickly destabilise rumen foam, allowing trapped gas to be released and relieving pressure on the animal’s digestive system.
“This product has been formulated to break down foam fast,” Vicchem development and technical services manager Peter Jones says.
“It’s suitable for both treatment and prevention, making it a highly flexible option for livestock managers during periods of high bloat risk,” he says.
Made in Australia for Australian conditions, Vicchem’s Bloat Drench is effective across a range of grazing situations and is particularly valuable during peak growth in spring or following rainfall.
Key benefits include:
- rapid foam suppression and gas release.
- can be used preventatively or at the first sign of bloat.
- flexible administration via drench, feed or water.
- helps safeguard herd health and productivity.
Vicchem encourages farmers to act early and speak with their local rural retailer about stocking up ahead of the high-risk season.
