The cyanide and nitrate contents of the types of plants suspected was investigated with qualitative field test and quantitative lab analyses. The concentration of cyanide (216.8 63.2 ppm, fresh weigh) in sorghum leaves was sufficiently high to endanger livestock, while the nitrate content was low. From these results , and the clinical signs of acute death, it was concluded that the animals died from cyanide poisoning as a result of eating sorghum. This report is thought to be the first documented case of acute cyanide poisoning from consumption of plants in Indonesia. aARTVET97
