Developing technologies to monitor the level of HCN in the growing crop could prevent livestock poisoning. In this study ncar-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) calibration to estimate HCN in forage sorghum is developed. The full spectral NIRS range (1100-2498 nm) was used as well as specific spectral ranges within the full spectral range, i.e. , visible (400-750 nm), short wave (800-1100 nm) and near - infrared (NIR) (1100-2498 nm). Using the full spectrum approach and the modified partial least-squares (MPLS), the calibration produced a coefficient of determination (R2) = 0.869 and standard error of cross-validation (SFCV) = 97.53\%, while the validation set had a R2=0.624 with a low standard error of prediction (SEP= 205.801 \%).}, keywords = {Dhurrin, Forage sorghum, HCN, NIRS, UPLC} }
