How much cyanide is in apple seeds and LD50 of cyanide to horses?

Apple seeds contain amygdalin, which can release cyanide when metabolized. The amount of cyanide in apple seeds is relatively low, with about 0.6 to 2.0 mg of cyanide per seed. The LD50 (lethal dose for 50% of the population) of cyanide varies, but for horses, it is estimated to be around 2 mg/kg. Therefore, ingesting a significant quantity of apple seeds could potentially be harmful to horses, depending on their weight.
