SWL Bloat Guard Block

Proven Protection on High-Risk Pastures

Legume pastures such as alfalfa and clover provide exceptional nutrition but also increase the risk of frothy bloat. Sweetlix® Bloat Guard® Block delivers a consistent source of poloxalene to help cattle safely utilize these productive forages while reducing the risk of bloat when consumed according to label directions.

Ideal for:

• Beef cattle
• Stocker cattle
• Cow-calf operations
• Grazing cattle on alfalfa
• Grazing cattle on clover
• Wheat pasture cattle

Continuous Protection Through Consistent Intake

Poloxalene works by reducing the stable foam that traps gas inside the rumen during frothy bloat. Because protection depends on maintaining effective levels in the rumen, cattle must consume the recommended amount every day while grazing bloat-producing forage. The Sweetlix® molasses-based formulation encourages predictable daily intake to help maintain continuous protection.

Benefits

• Helps prevent frothy bloat
• Supports safe utilization of legume pastures
• Encourages consistent daily intake
• Weather-resistant block
• Easy pasture placement
• No mixing required
