Field Studies on Etiology and Control of Fescue Toxicosis

Journal of Environmental Quality, 1975
AbstractAn outbreak of fescue toxicosis occurred in cattle in the southern part of Mississippi in 1969–70. A survey of veterinarians and county agents revealed that fescue toxicosis occurred in 15 Mississippi counties, with general distribution across the state.

Immunologic and Other Strategies to Overcoine Fescue Toxicosis

American Association of Bovine Practitioners Conference Proceedings, 1995
Tall fescue has desirable compositional characteristics, withstands heavy grazing and environmental stresses. However, animal performance (body weight gains and reproductive efficiency) is depressed in animals grazing this forage. The signs exhibited by affected animals are exacerbated by elevated environmental temperatures and humidity.

Method of treating fescue toxicosis with domperidone [PDF]

, 1994
A novel method for using domperidone, a dopamine receptor antagonist, for treating fescue toxicosis in animals is provided. Fescue toxicosis is caused by animals grazing on endophyte-infected fescue grass.

Pathophysiology of fescue toxicosis

Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, 1993
Abstract The pathophysiology of fescue toxicosis is discussed relative to observed symptoms and the inhibition of animal production (average daily gain and decreased reproductive efficiency). Hyperthermia, vasoconstriction and perhaps increased activity of hepatic mixed-function oxidases are important effects. Perhaps secondarily intake is reduced by

Effects of fescue toxicosis on reproduction in livestock

Journal of Animal Science, 1992
Fescue toxicosis in livestock is due to ingestion of endophyte (Acremonium coenophialum) -infected tall fescue. Understanding mechanisms responsible for decreased calving and growth rates, delayed onset of puberty, and impaired function of corpora lutea in heifers at puberty consuming endophyte-infected fescue is an emerging field in reproductive ...

Equine fescue toxicosis: signs and solutions

Journal of Animal Science, 1995
Gravid mares grazing endophyte-infested (E+) tall fescue exhibit increased gestation lengths, agalactia, foal and mare mortality, tough and thickened placentas, weak and dysmature foals, increased sweating during warm weather, reduced serum prolactin and progesterone, and increased serum estradiol-17 beta levels.

Fescue toxicosis

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Equine Practice, 2001
Most of the tall fescue pastures in the United States are infected by an endophyte, N. coenophialum. The fungus derives nutrients from the plant while supplying the plant with toxins for defense. The most detrimental toxins for animals in tall fescue are ergopeptine alkaloids, especially ergovaline.

Tall Fescue Toxicosis and Management

Crop Management, 2004
Tall fescue toxicosis is one of the most costly animal disorders facing livestock producers in the eastern U.S. As reported by Georgia researchers in 1977, it is caused by a fungal endophyte. At present, there is no cure for tall fescue toxicosis. There are, however, proven management strategies that can lessen the effect of toxicosis.
