Variation among inbred and linecross mice in response to fescue toxicosis.

Abstract excerpt

Variation in response to fescue toxicosis was examined in inbred and linecross mice. In Exp. 1, exposure to a 50% endophyte-infected tall fescue diet (E+) reduced ADG of males from six inbred lines, but ADG of males from one line was modestly higher on E+. Lines differed (P < .01) for reproductive organ weight, but the diet x line interaction was not significant. In Exp. 2, an apparently susceptible (C57) and an...
