Abstract
SINCE 1947, reports have reached us of excessive salivation in ruminants after consuming certain forages. Frequently these forages were red clover hay, but other types of forages were involved. The cattle would consume from 1 to 3 feedings of such forage, salivate excessively, and then refuse further feed. The refusal of the cattle to consume ‘slobber forage’ represents an economic loss to the farmer, including a loss of milk production and the necessity of purchasing replacement forage.
