Drouth Creates Poisons Warn Farmers Of Green Feed Dangers
Washington July 31 The department of agriculture warns that drought makes green vegetation such as sudan grass cane and grain sorghum poisonous to livestock. Experts say grazing these crops during drought can produce hydrocyanic or prussic acid poisons from glucoside and enzyme reactions. Green potato tops sprouts tomato vines and similar plants may also be poisonous. Even in normal rainfall stockmen report 3 to 5 percent losses from plant poisoning on unfenced ranges, with drought increasing feed ravenousness and intake.
