Preliminary results are presented from a physiological genetics approach to the study of bloat. Several protein band proportions separated by electrophoresis are shown to be correlated with bloat. Results from immunochemical techniques are outlined and a hypothetical explanation of the animal variation based on enzyme induction is mooted.
