2008 journal article

Urea metabolism in beef steers fed tall fescue, orchardgrass, or gamagrass hays

JOURNAL OF ANIMAL SCIENCE, 87(4), 1346–1353.

By: G. Huntington n, K. Magee n, A. Matthews n, M. Poore n & J. Burns n

author keywords: fescue; gamagrass; orchardgrass; steer; urea metabolism
MeSH headings : Amino Acids / administration & dosage; Animals; Cattle / metabolism; Dietary Carbohydrates / administration & dosage; Dietary Supplements; Male; Nitrogen / metabolism; Nitrogen / urine; Ornithine / metabolism; Poaceae / metabolism; Random Allocation; Urea / metabolism
TL;DR: The concept of improved N use in response to increased carbohydrate fermentability in the rumen, due either to inherent differences in forage fiber or to supplementation with readily fermentable carbohydrate (starch or fiber), is supported. (via Semantic Scholar)

2005 journal article

Intake, digestion, and N metabolism in steers fed endophyte-free, ergot alkaloid-producing endophyte-infected, or nonergot alkaloid-producing endophyte-infected fescue hayI

Journal of Animal Science, 83(5), 1179–1185.

By: A. Matthews n, M. Poore n, G. Huntington n & J. Green n

MeSH headings : Animal Nutritional Physiological Phenomena; Animals; Blood Urea Nitrogen; Body Temperature; Cattle / physiology; Dietary Proteins / metabolism; Digestion / physiology; Drinking / physiology; Eating / physiology; Ergot Alkaloids / biosynthesis; Ergotamines / analysis; Festuca / chemistry; Festuca / classification; Festuca / microbiology; Hypocreales / metabolism; Male; Nitrogen / metabolism; Prolactin / blood; Temperature; Urea / urine; Urination
TL;DR: Results from this study indicate that E+ tall fescue hay was lower in ad libitum DMI, DM digestibility, and N retention than NE or E- hays with similar chemical composition. (via Semantic Scholar)
