Endophyte Infected Tall Fescue: Plant Symbiosis to Animal Toxicosis [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021 Endophyte-infected fescue is a major cool season forage used for livestock production in the United States and through other areas of the world. A unique aspect of this forage resource is the symbiotic relationship with an endophytic fungus (Epichloë ...

Integrative interactomics applied to bovine fescue toxicosis
Scientific Reports, 2022 Bovine fescue toxicosis (FT) is caused by grazing ergot alkaloid-producing endophyte (Epichloë coenophiala)-infected tall fescue. Endophyte’s effects on the animal’s microbiota and metabolism were investigated recently, but its effects in planta or on ...

Condensed Tannins Attributes: Potential Solution to Fescue Toxicosis?
Agriculture (Switzerland), 2023 Tall fescue (Schedonorus arundinaceous (Schreb.) Dumort. nom. cons. Lolium arundinaceum (Schreb.) Darbysh.) toxicosis results from the consumption of alkaloids released by wild-type endophytes (Epichloe coenophiala) that live in symbiosis with the plant.

Animals, 2021 Beef cattle phenotypes are affected by the consumption of toxic fescue. Toxic fescue’s impact is dependent on heat stress and breed composition, with genetic variability for robustness to toxin exposure believed to exist within and across breeds.

Urinary Alkaloid Excretion as a Diagnostic Tool for Fescue Toxicosis in Cattle [PDF]
Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation, 2000 Fescue toxicosis research studies have often included serum prolactin as a physiologic index of the disorder. Serum prolactin has not been used as a clinical measure of fescue toxicosis because of variation associated with sex and physiologic condition of the animal and climatic and seasonal factors.

Grassland Research, Volume 2, Issue 2, Page 106-111, June 2023., 2023 Many forage grasses have a beneficial fungus living inside them. The presence of this fungus is a necessity to many producers. Knowing when and how to test for it has been a problem in the past. Here, we compare different methods of fungal testing and different time points that will help producers make testing decisions.
