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
topics (OpenAlex): Plant and fungal interactions; Botanical Research and Chemistry; Plant Toxicity and Pharmacological Properties
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.
