Is it possible that something was put into the feed that caused the bloat?
Bloat is one thing, but if this has never happened before on this scale, then it is something else, or something in addition to bloat.
It happens every year when the temps get up to high 90s low 100s. The fermentation process in the gut really goes into high gear when the temperatures get too high. Changing the diet can reduce the bloat, but that's difficult to do on a huge scale.
Feed them wine metabisulphate? Cancel the ferment process
