Immunologic and Other Strategies to Overcoine Fescue Toxicosis
American Association of Bovine Practitioners Conference Proceedings, 1995Tall 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.

Fescue Toxicosis in Commercial Cattle Feeding Operations
American Association of Bovine Practitioners Conference Proceedings, 1986Tall Fescue (Festuca Arundinacea Schreb.) accounts for approximately 35 million acres of grassland in the U.S. Fescue pastures continue to be a major cattle grazing staple in the transition zone of the U.S. including the south central regions of the country.

Fescue toxicosis and its impact on animal agriculture.
Veterinary and human toxicology, 1993Studies of fescue toxicosis have identified several classes of plant/fungal alkaloids that may be responsible for the toxicosis problem of endophyte (Acremonium coenophialum) infected tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea). This review explores the interaction of these alkaloids with the animal's system and attempts to explain the various anomalies of ...

A model of fescue toxicosis: responses of rats to intake of endophyte-infected tall fescue.
Journal of animal science, 2007A study was conducted to develop a model for fescue toxicosis using rats fed a diet containing endophyte-infected tall fescue seed (E+). Rats implanted with telemetric transmitters to continuously monitor core body temperature (Tc) and activity were housed at thermoneutrality (21 degrees C) and were fed a diet containing endophyte-free fescue seed (E-).

Reproductive problems related to fescue toxicosis in mares
1997An outbreak of abortion, agalactia and weak foals was observed in a thorougbred breeding farm in south - central Chile. Of 96 pregnant mares, grazing on tall fescue, 11 aborted and 6 presented agalactia. A high percentage of weak foals was also observed. Acremonium coenophialum was isolated from tall fescue, suggesting that the reproductive ...

Effect of fescue toxicosis on hepatic gene expression in mice.
Journal of animal science, 2006Fescue toxicosis affects wild and domestic animals grazing fescue pasture infected with the endophytic fungus Neotyphodium coenophialum. Signs of fescue toxicosis include increased core body temperature and respiration rate and decreased milk yield and reproductive performance.
