Minimizing the Prussic Acid Poisoning Hazard in Forages

Sudangrass, forage sorghums and sorghum-sudangrass crosses (all in the genus 
Sorghum) are often planted for summer pasture and sometimes fed as green chop, 
silage or hay. Under certain environmental conditions, livestock may develop 
symptoms of prussic acid poisoning when these forages are pastured or fed as 
green chop. 

Death can result from prussic acid poisoning, most commonly when livestock have 
fed on plants that are either very young, stunted by drought or frosted. Cattle 
and sheep are more susceptible than swine, since they are more likely to 
consume large quantities of the poison....
