Risks for animal health related to the presence of ergot alkaloids in feed
Abstract The European Commission requested EFSA to provide an update of the 2012 Scientific Opinion of the Panel on Contaminants in the Food Chain (CONTAM) on the risks for animal health related to the presence of ergot alkaloids (EAs) in feed. EAs are produced by several fungi of the Claviceps and Epichloë genera.

Germplasm Collection and Molecular Detection of Endophytic Fungi in Iranian Tall Fescue (Festuca Arundinacea Schreb.) [PDF]
Tall fescue is a popular pasture grass grown in many countries. A systematic endophytic fungus, Acremonium coenophialum, lives in a symbiotic association within tall fescue and may impart superior competitiveness to the plant through increased ...

Dataset of the Effects of a Low Dose of Isoflavones in Beef Cattle Undergoing Tall Fescue Toxicosis
Tall fescue toxicosis negatively impacts blood flow, elevates body temperature, and reduces beef cattle’s average daily gain (ADG). In previous studies, isoflavones have diminished the symptoms of tall fescue toxicosis in ruminants.

A feed-restriction model to identify factors responsible for fescue toxicosis-induced reduction in food intake [abstract] [PDF]
only availableFescue toxicosis results from intake of ergopeptine alkaloids derived from a fungus (Neotyphodium coenophialum ) in tall fescue, and produces reduced productivity. Contributors to this reduction are decreased feed intake and growth.
