PERFORMANCE AND PHYSIOLOGY OF YEARLING STEERS GRAZING TOXIC TALL FESCUE AS INFLUENCED BY CONCENTRATE FEEDING AND STEROIDAL IMPLANTS

Fescue toxicosis can produce negative effects on animal weight gain and physiology. Sixty-four steers were grazed on endophyte-infected (E+) KY-31 tall fescue for 77 days in 2007 and sixty steers grazed for 86 days in 2008 to evaluate interactions with implantation of steroidal implants and concentr...
