“…These findings suggest that the action of calcium and magnesium is mediated through the rumen. This view is partially substantiated by the findings of Smith (1963) that the ruminai magnesium level increased as bloat increased.…”

“…(1962) observed no significant correlation between cattle bloat on Ladino clover and the potassium, phosphorus and calcium levels in the plant. Smith (1963) reported no significant correlation between plant calcium and magnesium and the bloat severity in lambs grazing alfalfa pasture.…”

“…Jackson _et aJ.. (1962) found no significant correlation between cattle bloat on Ladino clover pasture and the phosphorus, potassium or calcium levels in the forage. Smith (1963) reported no significant correlation between the total amount of calcium and magnesium in whole alfalfa plants and the severity of bloat in lambs grazing alfalfa pasture. Smith (1963) observed that calcium and magnesium salts significantly increased bloat whether administered by foliar application to the growing alfalfa or by drenching the animal prior to grazing.…”

“…(1962) demonstrated that spraying alfalfa with calcium carbonate enhanced bloat severity in lambs. Both the foliar applica tion and the drenching of lambs with calcium and magnesium salts significantly increased bloat (Smith, 1963). Hubscher (1962) observed that calcium increased the incorporation of L-serine into phosphatidyl serine in microsomal subfractions.…”
