  • Dr. Daniel Poole: Understanding Fescue Toxicosis | Ep. 138
    Jul 16 2025

    In this episode of The Beef Podcast Show, Dr. Daniel Poole from North Carolina State University unpacks the challenges of fescue toxicosis and its impact on cattle performance. He explains how ergot alkaloids in toxic fescue affect growth and reproductive efficiency. Learn about genetic selection, pasture management, and practical strategies to minimize production losses. Listen now on all major platforms!


    "Ergot alkaloids cause vasoconstriction, reducing blood flow to the skin and ovaries, which directly affects fertility."


    Meet the guest: Dr. Daniel Poole is a Professor of Animal Science at North Carolina State University with over a decade of experience studying reproductive physiology in cattle. He earned his Ph.D. in Animal Science from The Ohio State University and completed postdoctoral research at Penn State University.
