Influence of Ralgro® on suckling calf performance on tall fescue pastures with various levels of endophyte infestation

Brazle, F.; Whittier, J.
Four hundred and ten cow-calf pairs were allotted to tall fescue pastures

containing 40, 45, or 70% endophyte fungus infestation. One half of the calves in

each pasture were implanted with Ralgro® initially and reimplanted about 110 days

later. Calf gains on the 70% endophyte fungus pasture showed a greater (P<.05)

response to implanting than those grazing the 40 and 45% endophyte-infested tall

fescue pastures during the 165 day trial.
