Do you feed it and how much? Do you mix it with other greens?

I don`t know if it is true or it is just old wives tale, but here it is said that fresh clover causes bloat in goats and rabbits (my sheep dont want to eat it at all) if fed in high amounts so I was always really careful not to give them too much, just a few plants mixed with other stuff.
 
We feed various kinds of clover in the growing season when we're gathering fresh forage a couple times each day. We always feed a mix of plants but have never limited clover particularly and never had a problem with our rabbits. Our goats will also eat all the clover they can get. Near the end of the growing season, the clover can have fuzzy white stuff on the leaves (mold? mildew?) and of course we don't feed it then.
