PAS_1 Therefore, for these 2 varieties, the soft-red winter wheat had a greater bloat potential than the hard-red winter wheat based on results from the cannulated heifers, but no differences were observed in the frequency of bloat in stocker cattle. In this study, shrinking of cattle before grazing wheat pasture did not induce bloat. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19574572
PAS_2 Breeding wheat cultivars with enhanced phenolic content in forage may be one approach to reduce bloat incidence in grazing cattle. (https://www.publish.csiro.au/cp/CP11078)

Procedure of Use "When bloat occurs to an animal distention of upper left flank takes place and if it strikes with fingers, drum like sound is heard. To cure this problem, flour of wheat (Triticum astivum) is kneaded by mixing appropriate quantity of water and edible oil. Thereafter, small lumps of kneaded flour are fried in edible oil. Pound these fried lumps (In local language it called as ""muthiya"") and add sugar and ghee (purified butter) and make small bolus. Bolus is fed to animal and it recovers from bloat the same day by this treatment. In the village 25 % of persons are using this method.
