Evaluation of Blessed Thistle as an Ameliorator of Stress Response in Fescue-fed cowsOrrick, Samuel Ryan 01 May 2011 (has links)
The objectives of this study were to document the negative effects of endophyte-infected fescue consumption on cow physiological responses after stress challenge and to assess the ability of blessed thistle to ameliorate these responses. Twenty -seven Angus crossbred cows approximately 5-7 years of age and a body weight of (634 ± 80 kg) were equally divided into 3 treatments. Each treatment was divided into 3 replicates, leaving pens of 3 cows per treatment replicate. Each pen was balanced for initial body weight and low age. Each experimental group was randomly assigned to one of three replicates and one of three treatment dietary regimens: control/endophyte-free (EF) fescue, endophyte-infected (EI) fescue, endophyte-infected fescue + blessed thistle supplementation (EIBT). Ergovaline, one alkaloid compound thought to be deleterious in the endophyte-infected fescue metabolites was detected in EI seed analysis performed before the trial commenced. Endophyte-free seed samples were negative for total ergot alkaloids. No treatment interaction was observed for heart rate, body temperature, prolactin and urinary alkaloid analysis rate (P >0.05). A replicate interaction was observed for prolactin (P <0.05). There was an effect of stress point between before and after samples taken on D-1 and D 29 on body temperature, heart rate and cortisol (P <0.05). Results suggest treatments were ineffectual at inducing symptoms of fescue toxicosis. The full capability of blessed thistle to ameliorate symptoms of fescue toxicosis may not be fully represented in this study. Further research and knowledge into the mechanism by which fescue toxicosis impacts health and productivity of livestock is needed to develop sustainable treatment regimens.

Evaluation Of A Novel Endophyte-Infected Tall Fescue Cultivar As A Safe Forage For Pregnant MaresAl Rashed, Hussain Ali 11 December 2009 (has links)
Fescue toxicosis is a condition that afflicts livestock grazing endophyte-infected tall fescue and is particularly detrimental to pregnant mares. A two year evaluation study of a novel endophtye-infected cultivar, AGRFA-144 (A-144), did not induce fescue toxicosis in late-term pregnant mares. All mares delivered viable foals except in E+ group which had two viable foals, one stillborn-dystocia and one compromised foal which was euthanized at 72 h pp. Serum P4 concentrations were similar among A-144, NE+, and E- mares (p>0.05). Foal BW and foal/placental weight ratios were similar for A-144, NE+, and E- (p>0.05). Foal serum P4 was similar on 1 d and 2 d in all groups, but was lower (p = 0.049) in the A-144 group than the E- foals on day 0. Neutrophil/lymphocyte ratios were similar (~5:1) in all foals on d 0 and 2. IgG values were similar (p>0.05) among A-144, NE+, and E-.

Fescue taxonomy in the Pacific coast statesWilson, Barbara L. 25 February 1999 (has links)
Accurate taxonomy is essential to preservation and management of native
grasses. Four problems in fescue taxonomy were investigated: the identity of the
native fescue that dominates western Oregon and Washington prairies, the relationship
of native Festuca roemeri to closely related grasses, the status of F. howellii and F.
washingtonica, and fescue identification.
The cespitose fine-leaved fescue that dominates prairies in western Oregon and
Washington had previously been identified as F. rubra. Two fescues were found to
dominate these habitats, one introduced F. rubra var. commutata, and the other native
F. roemeri. The two differed in isozymes and subtle morphological traits.
Isozymes, flow cytometry of DNA, and leaf anatomy clarified relationships
among F. idahoensis, F. roemeri. and the northwest California fescue that shares
characters with both of them. Isozyme band patterns divided them into two groups; F.
roemeri and a mixture of populations of F. idahoensis and the northwest California
fescue. All three fescues were tetraploid. All three fescues were distinguished using
leaf anatomy. Festuca roemeri and the northwest California fescue shared leaves
elliptic to obovate in cross section and usually having three sclerenchyma bands, at
margins and midrib; F. idahoensis had leaves round to hexagonal in cross section, with
five or more sclerenchyma bands, Festuca idahoensis and the northwest California
fescue had numerous long adaxial leaf hairs; F. roemeri had few and short adaxial
hairs. Leaf shape was phenotypically plastic in F. roemeri and the northwest California
fescue, but constant in F. idahoensis. Leaf sclerenchyma development was greater in
the field than greenhouse for all three fescues.
The northwest California fescue was recognized as F. roemeri var. klamathensis
B. L. Wilson fined.
Morphometric analysis of F. howellii and F. washingtonica revealed that the
two are distinct taxa. Festuca washingtonica appeared to be a rare species endemic to
lightly grazed and ungrazed areas of eastern Washington. The F. howellii holotype was
conspecific with F. elmeri, not F. viridula as previously thought. Because F. howellii is
an earlier synonym, F. elineri must now be called F. howellii.
Identification keys were provided for identifying fertile or sterile fescues and
ryegrasses of the Pacific coast states. / Graduation date: 1999
