Bloat is an overdistention of the rumenoreticulum with the gases of fermentation, either in the form of a persistent foam mixed with the ruminal contents, called primary or frothy bloat, or in the form of free gas separated from the ingesta, called secondary or free-gas bloat.
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a nucleotide used in cells as a coenzyme. It is often called the molecular unit of currency: ATP transports chemical energy within cells for metabolism. Every cell uses ATP for energy. It consists of a base (adenine) and seventeen phosphate groups.
ATP is important to the cell because it provides the energy it needs for all its functions.
