Abstract
It has been known for some time that livestock, in a field environment, exhibit large individual differences in their response to toxins of endophyte-infected tall fescue (EIF). There has been little attempt, however, to quantify the level of response to these toxins or identify animal sensitivity either before, during, or after exposure. A first step toward this goal is to determine reliable markers that can be used in this selection process.
