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

Aspergillus terreus and fescue toxicosis

Plant and Soil, 1989
The incidence ofAspergillus terreus recovered fromAcremonium coenophialum-infected and non-infected tall fescue grass and from the rumens of heifers grazing on the grasses was determined. The recovery ofA. terreus fromA. coenophialum-infected grass was similar to that from non-infected grass. The same was true of the recovery from the rumens of heifers
