BRIEF: Is the a way to manage sorghum sudan grass to eliminate its poisonous effects?


QUESTION:
Our son recently planted sorghum sudan grass to fill in spots that didn't grow. Now we have learned this is posionous to horses. We run a horse ranch. Is there any way to manage this grass to eliminate the posion effect?

ANSWER:
Don't feed it after freezing, when it is wilted, when it is too young and damaged, or when it is overfertilized. It is a good, highly productive feed.
