Effects of Sericea Lespedeza Supplementation on Steers Grazing Wild-Type Endophyte-Infected Tall Fescue [PDF]
AnimalsCondensed tannins (CTs) in certain leguminous forages can mitigate toxic alkaloid absorption linked to fescue toxicosis due to their high affinity towards various steroidal and protein-like alkaloids.

Impact of Low-Level Ergot Alkaloids and Endophyte Presence in Tall Fescue Grass on the Metabolome and Microbiome of Fall-Grazing Steers [PDF]
ToxinsFescue toxicosis (FT) is a mycotoxin-related disease caused by the ingestion of tall fescue, naturally infected with the ergot alkaloid (EA)-producing endophyte Epichloë coenophiala.

Metabolomic shifts in beef steers rotationally grazing toxic endophyte-infected tall fescue under fall conditions [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary ScienceBackgroundFescue toxicosis (FT) results from ingestion of tall fescue infected with the ergot alkaloid (EA)-producing endophyte Epichloë coenophiala. While the vascular system is a major EA target, their biogenic amine-like properties can trigger wider ...

Abdominal Fat Necrosis in a Pygmy Goat Associated with Fescue Toxicosis [PDF]
Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation, 2004 Abdominal fat necrosis was diagnosed in an 11-year-old female pygmy goat with a 10-day history of lethargy, anorexia, and progressive abdominal distension. Gross necropsy findings revealed multiple firm, dark yellow, nodular masses of fat throughout the abdominal cavity, which compressed several abdominal organs including the rumen, small intestine ...
