[Jacob-list] baking soda

[Quentin & Libby Llop]

I never heard of feeding sheep baking soda. Probably that's what I get 
for learning about sheep at university instead of over the internet. I 
really can't see how it would help prevent bloat as mixing baking soda 
with acid produces gas and how would you tell if it did? I've run 40 to 
100 crossbred ewes for 35 years, sometimes on straight alfalfa and only 
had one case of bloat, with out baking soda.
