چکیده انگلیسی
Negative effects on cattle grazing tall fescue [Schedonorus arundinaceus (Schreb.) Dumort.] infected with the wild-type endophyte Neotyphodium coenophialum (E+) are well documented, but information about the carryover effects on weaned calves is limited. Our objective was to compare pre- and postweaning performance by spring-calving cows and calves grazing E+ with that by cows grazing a nontoxic endophyte-tall fescue association (NE+). Pregnant Gelbvieh à Angus crossbred cows (n = 136; 492 ± 19.2 kg of initial BW) were stratified by BW and age and allocated randomly to one of four 10-ha pastures in yr 1 (October 15) and one of eight 10-ha pastures in yr 2 (November 30). Pastures were allocated randomly before establishment to E+ or NE+. Cows remained on their assigned pastures until weaning in yr 2 but were removed from NE+ in the summer of yr 1 because of low forage mass. After weaning, calves grazed bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] followed by cool-season annual grasses. Cow BW and pregnancy rate, and calf weaning weight and preweaning gain were greater (P < 0.05) from NE+ versus E+. Weaning weight differentials were maintained throughout postweaning production phases, resulting in heavier HCW (P < 0.05) by steers and a tendency for greater (P < 0.10) subsequent calving rates by heifers. Therefore, replacing E+ with NE+ may improve preweaning cow and calf performance and heifer reproductive rates, but postweaning gains may not be affected by previous exposure to E+.
