Blue-green algae

摘要

Most of us are familiar with algae blooms in our stock ponds. One of my ponds has gone through this process this year, with the water appearing thick and green with algae. It is, of course, related to heat and nutrients along with stagnant water thathasn't been getting replenished. While unpleasant and capable of depleting oxygen in the pond when decaying after the bloom, our standard run-of-the-mill algae blooms aren't really a danger to our cattle. However, things are different with "blue-green algae."
