Recurrent frothy bloat in goats associated with consumption of Strombocarpa ferox (Fabaceae) pods
Frothy bloat is the over-distention of the rumen and reticulum, resulting from the accumulation of stable foam formed by tiny gas bubbles produced by fermentation.

| description | Frothy bloat is the over-distention of the rumen and reticulum, resulting from the accumulation of stable foam formed by tiny gas bubbles produced by fermentation. Normally, this functional digestive disorder occurs in ruminants when their diet consists predominantly of legumes in their vegetative state; this produces substances that reduce the surface tension, contributing to the stabilization of bubbles. This paper describes one outbreak of recurrent frothy bloat in goats in northwestern Argentina. The main clinical signs observed in affected goats were moderate to severe distension of the abdomen, agitation, and mouths half-opened, expelling a greenish foam that oozed through the corners of their lips. A gross evaluation of the necropsied animal revealed that the rumen showed a creamy homogeneous ruminal content of greenish color. The microhistological analysis of the ruminal content showed seed coats of Strombocarpa spp. The epidemiological data, clinical signs, gross findings, and microhistological analysis of the ruminal content confirmed the diagnosis of recurrent frothy bloat in goats associated with the consumption of Strombocarpa ferox green pods. |

The main clinical signs observed in affected goats were moderate to severe distension of the abdomen, agitation, and mouths half-opened, expelling a greenish foam that oozed through the corners of their lips. A gross evaluation of the necropsied animal revealed that the rumen showed a creamy homogeneous ruminal content of greenish color.

El timpanismo espumoso es la distensión excesiva del rumen y el retículo resultado de la acumulación de formaciones estables de espuma que se generan a partir de pequeñas burbujas de gases de la fermentación. Normalmente, este trastorno digestivo funcional se presenta en rumiantes cuando consumen predominantemente leguminosas en estado vegetativo, ya que la presencia de sustancias que reducen la tensión superficial contribuyen a la estabilización de las burbujas. En este artículo, se describe un brote de timpanismo espumoso recurrente en cabras en el noroeste de Argentina. Los principales signos clínicos observados en las cabras afectadas fueron distensión moderada a severa del abdomen, agitación y boca entreabierta, con expulsión de una espuma verdosa por las comisuras labiales. La necropsia del animal reveló que el rumen mostraba un contenido cremoso homogéneo de color verdoso. El análisis microhistológico de dicho contenido mostró cubiertas de semillas de Strombocarpa spp. Los datos epidemiológicos, los signos clínicos, los hallazgos macroscópicos y el análisis microhistológico del contenido ruminal confirmaron el diagnóstico de timpanismo espumoso recurrente en cabras asociado con el consumo de vainas verdes de Strombocarpa ferox.
