Description
This paper reviews the progress of bloat research carried out in Canada over the past 20 years to clarify the etiology of bloat, identify bloat-safe characteristics in forage legumes, and develop techniques to breed a bloat-safe cultivar of alfalfa. To this end a number of research institutions have been involved and a number of diverse and complementary disciplines have contributed.
