How Ruminants can eat Cassava Leaves containing Cyanide without dying
Cyanide is a toxin in cassava roots and leaves. If sheep, cow or goats eat too much of this cyanide, they'll likely die. One way to prevent this is by feeding them sulphur or sulphur-amino acids like methionine. Another way is to reduce the cyanide content by wilting the leaves under shade followed by sun-drying.
