Description

Sorghum is a valuable forage crop but can produce prussic acid (also known as hydrogen cyanide, HCN), which can be toxic to livestock. In this publication, Purdue and Kansas State researchers discuss characteristics affecting dhurrin content and HCN potential, feeding options, and symptoms and treatment for HCN toxicity.
