Le village de Simbara, situ\u00e9 dans l\u2019arrondissement de Mabo, est plong\u00e9 dans la consternation apr\u00e8s la perte soudaine de 22 vaches appartenant \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9leveur Samba Diallo. Ce drame, survenu le samedi 4 juillet 2026, rappelle les risques que repr\u00e9sentent certaines jeunes pousses de sorgho en d\u00e9but d\u2019hivernage pour le cheptel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Selon les constatations effectu\u00e9es par le service d\u00e9partemental de l\u2019\u00e9levage de Kaffrine, les animaux auraient succomb\u00e9 apr\u00e8s avoir consomm\u00e9 des repousses de sorgho, connues localement sous le nom de \u00ab Bassi \u00bb. Ces jeunes pousses, qui apparaissent au d\u00e9but de la saison des pluies, pr\u00e9sentent un danger particulier pour les ruminants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Les agents de l\u2019\u00e9levage expliquent que ces repousses renferment une forte concentration d\u2019acide cyanhydrique, \u00e9galement appel\u00e9 cyanure d\u2019hydrog\u00e8ne, une substance hautement toxique susceptible de provoquer une intoxication foudroyante chez les animaux. L\u2019ingestion de ces jeunes plants peut entra\u00eener une mort rapide, notamment lorsque le p\u00e2turage intervient peu apr\u00e8s les premi\u00e8res pluies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Au-del\u00e0 de la lourde perte \u00e9conomique subie par l\u2019\u00e9leveur, cet incident constitue un signal d\u2019alerte pour l\u2019ensemble des \u00e9leveurs de la r\u00e9gion. Les services techniques invitent les propri\u00e9taires de b\u00e9tail \u00e0 faire preuve d\u2019une vigilance accrue en cette p\u00e9riode d\u2019installation de l\u2019hivernage et \u00e0 \u00e9viter de laisser les animaux p\u00e2turer sur des parcelles o\u00f9 viennent de repousser des plants de sorgho.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Les autorit\u00e9s de l\u2019\u00e9levage appellent \u00e9galement \u00e0 renforcer les actions de sensibilisation afin de pr\u00e9venir de nouveaux cas d\u2019intoxication et de prot\u00e9ger le cheptel, ressource essentielle pour les m\u00e9nages ruraux de la r\u00e9gion de Kaffrine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
