Creator:

De Lorme, Marthah J. M.

Abstract:

The digestion responses and degradation of ergovaline and production of lysergic acid in the rumen of sheep offered Neotyphodium coenophialum-infected tall fescue straw at two ergovaline levels was investigated. Six crossbred wethers (56 +1- 3 kg BW) were randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups in a cross-over design....

Abstract:

Perennial ryegrass (PRG, Lolium perenne) is a hardy cool-season grass that is infected with the endophytic fungus Neotyphodium lolii, which enables the plant to be insect repellant and drought resistant, lowering the use of insecticides and fertilizers. However, this fungus produces the compound lolitrem B (LB, m/z 686.4) which causes...
