Effects of fescue cultivar on performance of beef cows grazed on summer stockpiled tall fescue pastures
… of wild-type, endophyte-infected tall fescue (E+) and novel endophyte-infected tall fescue (NE) summer stockpiled (SS) pastures and the performance of fall-calving beef cow/calf pairs stocked on each cultivar. Fescue cultivars used were KY-31 and MaxQ for E+ and NE treatments, …

Management and nutritional quality of tall fescue and alfalfa grown in combination, compared to tall fescue fertilized with nitrogen
’Kentucky 31’ endophyte-free tall fescue fertilized with 160 kg N ha⁻¹yr⁻¹ was compared to similar fescue grown with ’Cimarron’ alfalfa in a randomized block pasture experiment with four replications. Quality and yield of stockpiled forages and performance and serum minerals of grazing steers were …

Estimating forage mass of tall fescue pastures and dry matter intake and digestibility of fescue forage by beef steers
… methods of estimating forage mass of tall fescue pastures, and dry matter intake and digestibility in beef steers under indoor and grazing conditions. Forage mass was estimated with the herbage cutting method (HCM) and three indirect methods; the pasture capacitance meter (PCM), the plate …

Assessing the Effect of Nitrogen Sources, Rates and Time of applications on Yield and Quality of Stockpiled Fescue and Tall Fescue Pastures
In Virginia, tall fescue [(Schedonorus phoenix (Scop.) Holub,) formally known as Festuca arundinacea L.] can be found on more than 4 million ac of hay and pastureland. Two separate experiments were conducted at three different geographical locations over two growing seasons. The objective of …

Nitrogen cycling in tall fescue turf with added clippings
… clippings as a nitrogen (N) source for tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea, Schreb. Rebel’) turf, and to determine the maximum feasible loading rate of clippings onto tall fescue turf. Test plots in both studies received additional clippings from adjacent donor plots. In the first study, grass …

Genetic variation of susceptibility to fescue toxicosis in cattle
… of two sires were fed endophyte infected (E + ) fescue seed to quantify differences in susceptibility to fescue toxicosis among sire groups. One of the sires, a Polled Hereford, had a commercial reputation of producing calves with less severe symptoms of tall fescue toxicosis than their …

Native Forb Establishment in Tall Fescue-dominated Cattle Pastures
… during seed-based enrichment planting of tall fescue-dominated cattle pastures in two separate experiments: one testing a range of site preparation treatments with different seasons of sowing and comparing their effects on tall fescue suppression and seeded native plant establishment and the …

Comparison of techniques for estimating pasture herbage mass and productive ground cover for Lakota prairie grass, Kentucky 31 endophyte free tall fescue, Kentucky 31 endophyte infected tall fescue and Quantum 542 tall fescue grazed by stocker steers
… The backbone of these forages has long been tall fescue (Lolium arundinaceum (Schreb.) S.J. Darbyshire). Knowledge of the plant species that make up a pasture and the relative amounts of each species present is important for interpreting potential animal performance. It is also important to know …

Management and Livestock Performance of Alfalfa-Tall Fescue Mixed Stands
Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) and alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) have many desirable forage attributes, are grown extensively throughout the USA, and combined form a productive pasture mixture. The objective of this research was to develop recommended management practices for alfalfa-tall …

Serum Cholesterol of Young Cattle Grazing Bermudagrass and Fescue Pastures
… (Neotyphodium coenophialum) tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) pastures (E+ fescue) with those grazing bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) pers.] pastures (BG). Cattle grazing E+ fescue appear to have a higher prevalence of fat necrosis than do cattle grazing other forages. …

Impact of grazing stockpiled tall fescue of lactating beef cows
… cow-calf pairs grazed stockpiled tall fescue at three different endophyte infection levels (20, 51, and 89%) and four forage allowances (2.25, 3.00, 3.75, and 4.50% of BW). A hay feeding treatment was included as a standard for comparison. Each experiment was a randomized complete block …

Consumption of Endophyte Infected Fescue During Gestation in Beef Cows
Tall fescue is a widely grown, cool season grass prevalent in the eastern United States that is known for its resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses. A main reason for tall fescue's resistance to these stresses is attributed to the presence of a fungal endophyte. Unfortunately, this endophyte …

Using Tall Fescue to Remove Nutrients from Renovated Turkey Processing Wastewater
… valuable ornamental plants, such as tall fescue, for wastewater treatment without decreasing the overall treatment efficiencies of a greenhouse-based hydroponic system. The wastewater, from a turkey processing plant, was treated in a sand bioreactor system. Reduction of nitrate and …

Canopy, microenvironment, and nitrogen effects on summer recovery of tall fescue
… microenvironmental and plant responses in tall fescue. Microenvironment and regrowth of tall fescue in response to mowing managements and nitrogen rates in spring that created different canopy structures was studied. In early spring, 50 and 160 kg/ha of N were applied. Mowing managements were: …

Influence of seaweed extract and other plant growth regulators on growth, persistence, and quality of tall fescue and their potential to alleviate tall fescue toxicity to livestock
… Morgan-Jones and Garns) and endophyte-free tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.). The influence of plant growth regulators on forage quality of endophyte-infected tall fescue and performance of wether lambs was evaluated in two grazing trials. Greenhouse and field experiments were randomized …
