Alfalfa bales for horses and liv

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!

Hay is made up of dried cereal crops like grass or legumes. High-quality hay consists of seed heads, stalks, and leaves and has a green color. It is mainly used as livestock feed when pasture is limited. Common types of hay include timothy, bluegrass, Bermuda, ryegrass, fescue, alfalfa, and clover.

  • Orchard grass: Orchard grass is popular hay for horses. It is high in protein, fiber, and calories.
  • Oat hay: Oat hay is easy to grow and makes good feed for young livestock.
