Metabolism of toxic plant alkaloids in livestock : comparative studies on the hepatic metabolism of pyrrolizidine alkaloids in sheep and cattle and of ergot alkaloids in an endophyte-resistant mouse model

Creator:

Duringer, Jennifer Marie

Abstract:

The pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) and ergot alkaloids are known natural toxicants found in livestock forage. These alkaloids contribute to large economic losses in livestock throughout the world. An understanding of the mechanisms of toxicity and development of better diagnostic tools for better management practices was investigated. Variability exists in the...

Metabolism of ergot alkaloids by sheep

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....
