Details: Toxicity:
Sorghum species are used as animal forage and hay, but under certain conditions may cause several types of toxicity, including nitrate poisoning, cyanogenicity, and a syndrome that includes ataxia, cystitis, and birth defects; this taxon, a hybrid of S. bicolor and S. halepense, is among those with known risks (Burrows & Tyrl, 2001; McKenzie, 2012).
