Co-exposure of the Mycotoxins Lolitrem B and Ergovaline in Steers Fed Perennial Ryegrass (Lolium perenne) Straw: Metabolic Characterization of Excreta

Past research showed a strong linear correlation between levels of the mycotoxins lolitrem B (LB, a tremorgen) and ergovaline (EV, an ergot alkaloid and potent vasoconstrictor) in perennial ryegrass (PRG) forage. The purpose of this study was to characterize the excretion of these two compounds in b...

Zusammenfassung:Past research showed a strong linear correlation between levels of the mycotoxins lolitrem B (LB, a tremorgen) and ergovaline (EV, an ergot alkaloid and potent vasoconstrictor) in perennial ryegrass (PRG) forage. The purpose of this study was to characterize the excretion of these two compounds in beef cattle consuming PRG straw and to utilize liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry to investigate the metabolism of LB and EV in excreta. Four groups of steers (n = 6/group) were fed endophyte-infected PRG for 64 days (2256/638, 1554/373, 1012/259, or 247/
