LOVELOCK - The cold weather this past week has raised concerns and questions of feeding certain forage species to livestock. These are very legitimate concerns with the sorghum species. Prussic acid poisoning can occur when feeding frost-damaged sudangrass, sorghum-sudangrass hybrids, forage sorghum, or grain sorghum. These species contain varying concentrations of cyanogenic glucosides, which are converted to prussic acid, also known as hydrogen cyanide (HCN). As ruminants consume forage containing high levels of cyanide-producing compounds, prussic acid is released in the rumen, absorbed into the bloodstream where it binds hemoglobin and interferes with oxygen transfer. The animal soon dies of asphyxiation.
