| | Sheep @ Purdue: Preventing Pasture Bloat in Sheep |
 | | When an animal is experiencing pasture bloat, ruminal conditions are such that a stable froth is produced in the rumen. | | | Pasture bloat (or green legume bloat) is caused by increased pressure by the ruminal contents. | | | Pasture bloat is usually a build-up of trapped gas caused by the failure of the animal to undergo normal eructation. |

| | The Nature of Genetic Disease |
| | Leaving aside the question of the role of genetics in behavior, the results suggest that the incidence of bloat increases with the size of the dog and the depth and width of the chest cavity. | | | This family study is another attempt to better understand genetic influences on bloat, which can cluster within certain families (familial bloat) or occur in unrelated animals (sporadic bloat). | | | Problems such as hip dysplasia and bloat clearly have a genetic component, but also an environmental component, and perhaps a behavioral one as well (which may also be partially determined by the genes). |

| | Fighting Software Overcomplexity and Relevance of the KISS Principle in SE |
| | Software bloat is an instance of Parkinson's Law: resource requirements expand to consume the resources available. | | | So yeah, I agree that bloat is everywhere...but machines keep getting faster and RAM keeps getting cheaper so companies feel justified in cutting corners to bang out bloated software, the bloating probably isn't even an effect of time limits anymore, probably bloated by design (or lack thereof)... | | | For everybody else massive bloat naturally diminishes compatibility and leads to incompatibilities that segment the field; your former competitor suddenly moves into a different niche or just die because he does not have the same resources as you. |

| | This leads to the generalization that Software Bloat is the production of software that either inefficient to use or is inefficient to store. | | | Computer Enthusiasts will often associate these two types of Software Bloat with software that seems to degrade in performance as new versions are deployed. | | | I have labeled the first as Feature Bloat and the second as Size Bloat. |

| | 9810 The Scriptor's Maid |
| | Bloat is not content with simple increase, but swells exponentially as the program accumulates "work-arounds" and the inevitable inconsistencies that will, with equal inevitability, engender even more of the same. | | | Ironically bloat begins not with what is most difficult to do, but with those things which pose only mechanical obstacles and require little invention or imagination to complete. | | | Bloat seems to have a life of its own as well as a very spiteful personality along with it. |

| | Gene Research to Help Reduce Bloat in Cattle - Life Sciences Network |
| | Larkin says there was a need to investigate plant genetic research, and its relationship to bloat in cattle because it is a problem which has not been solved by other means. | | | According to Larkin, bloat in cattle is estimated to cost Australian farmers approximately $50 million a year. | | | What we're trying to do is teach our important pasture legumes - lucerne and clover - to make these same chemicals which will confer bloat safety, and we're trying to get hold of the genes which will do that for us. |

| | Gastric Torsion and Bloat in dogs |
| | If you own a deep chested dog such as a Labrador Retriever, Doberman Pinscher, Akita or Great Dane you must be made aware of Gastric Torsion or commonly referred to as Bloat. | | | Once a dog bloats, it will usually bloat again in the future. | | | Dogs with bloat nearly always are between four and seven years of age. |

| | Merck Vet. Edition - Bloat In Ruminants: Introduction |
| | The causes of secondary bloat must be ascertained by clinical examination to determine the cause of the failure of eructation. | | | In primary ruminal tympany, or frothy bloat, the cause is entrapment of the normal gases of fermentation in a stable foam. | | | In secondary ruminal tympany, or free-gas bloat, physical obstruction of eructation occurs from esophageal obstruction caused by a foreign body, stenosis, or pressure from enlargement outside the esophagus (as from lymphadenopathy). |

| | Poor bunk management and not the ration being fed can be "the first domino to fall" resulting in digestive disturbances such as bloat, acidosis, and liver abscesses. | | | A situation for bloat or acidosis exists even though 24-hour consumption patterns look fairly regular. | | | Upon cleaning out large accumulations of stale feed, cattle may engorge themselves on the new, fresh feed and some cases of "grain bloat" may occur. |

| | Bloat is also bad for the Environment (which we live in and rely upon) since the manufacture of computer equipment involves the use of numerous very nasty chemicals which inevitably end up in the soil, water and air. | | | Software bloat keeps us all on the treadmill of always buying new hardware, which ultimately new software makes painfully slow, thus we are always falling behind. | | | It is liberation from those project managers and programmers who, rather than produce better, leaner, less buggy software, pass on the consequences of their bad choice to users who must pay to upgrade their hardware to accommodate the bloat. |

| | Bloat arises when the user expects the task to be simple and the device for doing the task is unnecessarily complicated. | | | Blame for this bloat in the interface layout and controls is usually attributed to a steady increase in the functions and features built into each new version of software products. | | | Instead, we believe it's the combination of the user's software experience, goals and tasks, and how well the software matches these that leads to the experience of bloat in the UI. |

| | Why is so much software so bloated? |
| | People are actually spending money to get even more bloat on their new hard disks they bought because the old one couldn't hold the old bloat. | | | Maybe bloat is a way to make software almost as usable, but with more features. | | | And if you're writing Free Software, you can provide the source to the library for others to consider, and they can either use your library as-is, or combine it with their own libraries, and we'll all be better off for it. |

| | This foam may hold the gases in large pockets (free gas bloat) or small pockets (foamy bloat), and it may be caused by feeding a high-concentrate ration in the feedlot, by feeding legume hay, or, most commonly, by grazing pastures which contain a large portion of leguminous material. | | | The microbial fermentation of forage material in the rumen leads to the production of a large amount of gas which is then absorbed into the rumen wall, passed into the omasum or, most commonly, expelled by eructation (belching). | | | The eructation of gas is prevented by the development of a stable viscous foam in the rumen. |
