Bloat in cattle is a dilation of the rumen. Symptoms of bloat include abnormal protrusion of the abdomen, ill-thrift of the animal, refusal of feed and water, lethargy or (unfortunately) being found dead in the pasture or barn.
The best way to tell if an animal has bloated is to look at the left side. If there seems to be an unusual swelling out on the left side when viewed from the front or rear of the animal, this is an indicator of bloat. In addition to the symptoms mentioned above, the animal may also kick at its belly. And of course, if you don't catch it soon, especially severe cases, you may have a dead animal on your hands.

Not really, but sometimes it can be, especially if you don't know when to feed it to cattle. Feeding alfalfa hay (straight alfalfa, mind you, with no grass) when cattle are really hungry will invite problems with bloat. Though the bloat won't be as severe as if you put them on fresh alfalfa, it still will be serious enough that you can't let it go untreated. Thus most producers prefer to feed hay that includes grass mixed in with alfalfa to have that extra roughage content so cattle won't bloat as readily.

Bloat in rabbits is often caused by a buildup of gas in their digestive system, which can be due to a diet high in carbohydrates or sudden changes in food. To prevent bloat, it is important to provide a balanced diet with plenty of hay and fresh vegetables, and to avoid sudden dietary changes. Treatment for bloat may include gentle massage, encouraging movement, and seeking veterinary care if symptoms persist.
