Owing to the production of this alkaloid, the ingestion of endophyte-infected grasses causes toxicosis in grazing animals. The aim of this work was to determine if ergovaline is produced in several grasses (Agrostis castellana Boiss and Reuter, Brachypodium phoenicoides (L) Roemer and Schultes, Dactylis glomerata L, Festuca arundinacea Schreb, Festuca arundinacea Schreb subsp fenas (Lag) Arcangeli, Festuca ovina L, Festuca rubra L, Holcus lanatus L and Lolium perenne L) infected by fungal endophytes in ‘dehesa’ pastures in Spain. Forage and seed samples of several ecotypes of these grass species were analysed for their ergovaline content by HPLC with ﬂuorescence detection. The ergovaline content ranged between 0.03 and 0.85mg g 1 in forage and 0.28 and 3.17mg g 1 in seed samples of F arundinacea, between 0.00 and 0.08mg g 1 in forage and 0.02 and 0.19mg g 1 in seed samples of F rubra, between 0.00 and 0.02mg g 1 in forage samples of H lanatus, and was 0.11mg g 1 in one ecotype of F ovina. All nine ecotypes of F rubra had ergovaline in seed samples, but in three ecotypes the alkaloid was not detected in forage samples. No ergovaline was detected in the other four endophyte-infected grasses analysed.

Above?ground biomass production was recorded from April to June and the NDF (neutral detergent fibre), ADF (acid detergent fibre), hemicellulose, cellulose, lignin, and digestibility were determined in the dry matter. Principal component analysis was applied to the data. The changes with time along the growth period show a parallel effect on the three positions of the slope, although the effect tended to be greater on the middle and upper zones. There were decreases in the levels of protein, cellular content, and digestibility, and an increase in cell wall components. The variability in nutritive characteristics induced by the phenology and time changes in the communities was reflected in the first factor of analysis, whereas the topographic gradient was related to the second component.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">doi: 10.1080/00103629409369171</style></notes><research-notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">doi: 10.1080/00103629409369171</style></research-notes></record></records></xml>
