Legume research to reduce cattle bloat
1 Feb 2002
Australian researchers have found that their genetic research
in plants could help farmers reduce bloat in cattle which results in an estimated cost to Australian farmers of approximately $50 million a year.
The preliminary results of research being undertaken by the
CSIRO were presented in Armidale last week.
Their research is looking genetically moulding pasture legumes to make condensed tannins which will confer bloat safety.
