	abstract = {Blood samples from 159 animals of known susceptibility to bloat were  
analysed for a range of proteins, minerals, acid base status, hormones and  
enzymes.  Urine samples from the cows and heifers were analysed for minerals  
and osmolality.  Each animal was sampled once only in a fed state.  An  
increase in bloat breeding value of one unit (increasing susceptibility) was  
significantly associated (P<0.05) with a decrease in liveweight of 28 ({\textpm}6) kg  
and increases in blood of 0.26 ({\textpm}0.07) U/1 pepsinogen, 0.33 ({\textpm}0.14) mmol/l  
urea, 29.5 ({\textpm}11.3) nmol/1 Se, 4.9 ({\textpm}1.2) mmol/l red blood cell K, 0.5 ({\textpm}0.2) g/l  
beta globulin, and 13.9 ({\textpm}6.1) pmol/l gastrin.  The data suggest there may be  
some physiological or metabolic differences between high and low susceptible  
animals either arising during the selection and breeding programme or which  
contribute to the susceptibility mechanism. },
