Description
Alfalfa is a perennial grass that grows naturally on the plains of North America. Alfalfa hay is a very nutrient dense forage, with over 12% protein and lots of other nutrients like calcium, phosphorus and iron. It’s also easy to digest due to its high fiber content. a healthy alternative to other feeds. Since alfalfa is naturally high in protein and fiber, it makes an excellent source of energy for your animals. It’s also rich in vitamins A, C, and K. Because alfalfa hay is so nutritious, you only need to feed your horse ¼ of the amount of grain compared to feeding them straight grain. This means that alfalfa hay can save you money! Alfalfa has been used by farmers for many years as an excellent feed source for horses and cattle. Alfalfa is known to be highly palatable and nutritious, leading to higher intakes when compared.
