Evaluation of Resistance to Fescue Toxicosis in Purebred Angus Cattle Utilizing Animal Performance and Cytokine Response

Poole, D. H., Mayberry, K. J., Newsome, M. K., Poole, R. K., Galliou, J. M., Khanal, P., … Serão, N. V. L. (2020, December 14). Toxins, Vol. 12.

By: D. Poole n , K. Mayberry n, M. Newsome n, R. Poole  n, J. Galliou n, P. Khanal n, M. Poore n, N. Serão n

author keywords: fescue toxicosis; genetic tolerance; cytokines; cow productivity
MeSH headings : Animal Feed / analysis; Animal Feed / toxicity; Animals; Behavior, Animal / drug effects; Behavior, Animal / physiology; Cattle; Cattle Diseases / chemically induced; Cattle Diseases / metabolism; Cattle Diseases / microbiology; Cytokines / metabolism; Ergot Alkaloids / analysis; Ergot Alkaloids / toxicity; Herbivory / drug effects; Herbivory / physiology; Poaceae / microbiology; Poaceae / toxicity
topics (OpenAlex): Plant and fungal interactions; Turfgrass Adaptation and Management; Botanical Research and Chemistry
TL;DR: Findings from this study support the proposed fescue toxicosis selection method, could accurately distinguish between tolerant and susceptible animals based on the performance parameters in cattle chronically exposed to ergot alkaloids, and provides evidence to warrant additional analysis to examine the impact of ergotAlkaloids on immune responsiveness in cattle experiencing fescues toxicosis.

author keywords: Bos taurus; Epichloe coenophiala; fescue toxicity; host genetics; T-Snip test
topics (OpenAlex): Plant and fungal interactions; Turfgrass Adaptation and Management; Botanical Research and Chemistry
TL;DR: Results indicate that the T-Snip test may be predictive of cow performance (aBWd, aBCSd, and adjWW) in an endophyte-infected tall fescue environment. (via Semantic Scholar)

Modeling host-microbiome interactions for the prediction of meat quality and carcass composition traits in swine

Khanal, P., Maltecca, C., Schwab, C., Fix, J., Bergamaschi, M., & Tiezzi, F. (2020, July 29). Genetics Selection Evolution, Vol. 52.

By: P. Khanal n, C. Maltecca n , C. Schwab, J. Fix*, M. Bergamaschi n & F. Tiezzi n 

Contributors: P. Khanal n, C. Maltecca n , C. Schwab, J. Fix*, M. Bergamaschi n & F. Tiezzi n 

MeSH headings : Animals; Female; Gastrointestinal Microbiome; Genome-Wide Association Study / methods; Host-Pathogen Interactions / genetics; Male; Metagenome; Models, Genetic; Polymorphism, Single Nucleotide; Pork Meat / standards; Quantitative Trait, Heritable; RNA, Ribosomal, 16S / genetics; Swine / genetics; Swine / microbiology
topics (OpenAlex): Genetic and phenotypic traits in livestock; Genetic Mapping and Diversity in Plants and Animals; Effects of Environmental Stressors on Livestock
TL;DR: Inclusion of microbiome information in the model improved predictive ability of phenotypes for fat deposition and color traits whereas including a genome-by-microbiome term did not improve prediction accuracy significantly, providing novel insight on the use of microbiome Information for the phenotypic prediction of meat quality and carcass traits in swine.

155 Evaluation of cytokine response as an indicator of genetic resistance to fescue toxicosis in purebred Angus cattle

Mayberry, K., Poole, R. K., Newsome, M. K. A., Khanal, P., Poore, M. H., Serao, N. V. L., & Poole, D. H. (2019, July 1). Journal of Animal Science, Vol. 97, pp. 45–46.

author keywords: fescue toxicosis; genetic tolerance; cytokines
topics (OpenAlex): Plant and fungal interactions
TL;DR: Evaluating the cytokine response of cows deemed either tolerant or susceptible to endophyte-infected fescue found greater concentrations of GASP-1, VEGF-A, and IL-4 in tolerant compared to susceptible cattle may mitigate the detrimental effects of fescUE toxicosis, including suppressed PRL and vasoconstriction, leading to improved animal performance in a fescues environment.
