Tissues thiocyanate (SCN) concentration and liver pathology of sheep and goats fed on cassava forages

Cassava leaves are good sources of protein which have a potential to substitute grain concentrate in livestock feed. However, a major constraint in using cassava fodder as animal feed is the presence of hydrogen cyanide (HCN). A study was conducted to compare the cumulative effects of thiocyanate (...
