Answer by  whydah (57)

Bloat is caused by the build up of excess gas in the rumen, or stomach of the goat. Goats experience two types of bloat; frothy bloat and dry bloat. Overfeeding of moisture rich pasture such as clover produces Foamy bloat. Grain overconsumption causes Dry bloat. Of the two, Frothy bloat is the more dangerous of the two.
