PSIV-26 Effects of extended-release eprinomectin on heifer growth and reproductive performance while grazed on endophyte-infected tall fescue or housed in drylot
Abstract:The objective was to assess the effects of an extended-release eprinomectin (LongRange) on beef heifer reproductive performance when grazed on endophyte-infected tall fescue or housed on drylot. In a split-plot design, fall-born, Angus × Simmental heifers (n = 153) were stratified by BW and divided into 6 groups. Groups were randomly assigned environmental treatments: grazed endophyte-infected tall fescue (pasture) or maintained in drylot and fed alfalfa hay. Within a group, heifers were randomly assigned to L… Show more
