Abstract
Abstract Feedlot bloat (as distinguished from pasture or legume bloat) is controlled while the ruminants are being fed a high concentrate feedlot bloat-inducing ration by the oral administration of a ruminant-edible water-soluble salt of a dimethyl dialkyl quaternary ammonium compound wherein the alkyl groups contain from 12 to 22 carbons. In a preferred mode of practicing the invention, from 75-100 percent of the alkyl groups are saturated and contain from 16 to 18 carbons. The anion of the quaternary compound must be of the type forming a water-soluble salt with the quaternary cation.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
30 words
The method of claim 1 in which alkyl groups contain predominantly from 16 to 18 carbons, and in which said water-soluble salt is selected from chloride, acetate, and sulfate salts.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
73 words
The method of controlling bloat in beef cattle during feedlot fattening wherein said beef cattle are fed a high concentrate feedlot bloat-inducing ration for an extended period of time, comprising concurrently feeding to said beef cattle a feedlot bloat-controlling effective amount of a quaternary ammonium compound within the dosage range of from 0.5 to 4 grams thereof per 100 lbs. body weight per 24 hours., said quaternary compound being represented by the formula
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words

Claim 6
Dependent Claim
32 words
A preparation for controlling feedlot bloat in ruminants during feedlot feeding, comprising a ruminant feed in admixture with a ruminant feedlot bloat-controlling effective concentration of a quaternary compound represented by the formula
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
27 words
The preparation of claim 7 in which from 75-100 percent by weight of said aliphatic hydrocarbon groups are saturated alkyl groups containing from 16 to 18 carbons.
