Nitrate toxicity in summer annual forages for Kansas cattle
Summer annual forages can accumulate excessive nitrates. Test to determine nitrate and prussic acid levels and forage quality. Nitrate converts to nitrite, blocking oxygen transport and risking death, especially in stressed animals. Factors include plant species, growth stage, part, time of day, drought, heat, sunlight, frost, disease, temperature, and management. Avoid high nitrate risk by staggered nitrogen fertilization, weed control, proper harvest timing, and lab analysis before feeding.
