Induction of fescue foot syndrome in cattle by fractionated extracts of toxic fescue hay.
Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Shreb) hay from a source known to cause "fescue foot" in grazing cattle was extracted with 80% ethanol. The ethanolic extract was further refined and fractionated into cation,nion, and neutral f fractions by ion-exchange chromatography. The cation fraction was partitioned with alkaline-chloroform to give chloroform-extractable cation and residual cation fraction...
متن کاملVideothermometry for assay of fescue foot in cattle.
Surface temperatures of hoofs of calves given toxic anion fractions of tall fescue were measured with an infrared sensitive camera. These changes expressed in terms of a weighted average coronary band temperature relate to clinical signs of fescue foot. The weighted average coronary band temperature values for control calves given saline solution were 27 to 31 C; those values of test calves giv...
متن کاملTall Fescue Toxicosis
widely used forage crop. It is insect and nematode resistant, tolerates poor soil and climatic conditions well and has a long growing season. Unfortunately, tall fescue also has a downside. Most tall fescue in the state is infected with a fungal endophyte, Neotyphodium coenophialum (formerly called Acremonium coenophialum) that is toxic to animals. Tall fescue was brought to this country from E...
متن کاملPhysiological Basis of Fescue Toxicosis
Tall fescue toxicosis continues to be a major syndrome in temperate climates of the world in terms of economic loss to animal producers. Studies with forage-fed animals over the past three decades have provided insight concerning the pathophysiological effects of the alkaloids present in tall fescue [Lolium arundinaceum (Schreb.) DarbyshJ infected with the fungal endophyte Neotyphodium coenophi...
متن کاملContractile response of fescue-naive bovine lateral saphenous veins to increasing concentrations of tall fescue alkaloids.
Various alkaloids found in endophyte-infected tall fescue have been shown to elicit different effects in the grazing animal. As part of an ongoing characterization of vascular response generated by different alkaloids, the objective of this study was to examine the vasoconstrictive potentials of ergonovine (a simple lysergic acid derivative) and alpha-ergocryptine, ergocristine, and ergocornine...
