Alfalfa hay is a nutrient-rich forage option commonly fed to livestock such as horses, cattle, and rabbits. Derived from the alfalfa plant, it is characterized by its vibrant green color, leafy texture, and high protein content. This hay variety is a valuable source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber, promoting healthy digestion and overall well-being in animals. Its balanced nutritional profile makes it especially suitable for growing young animals, lactating mothers, and those with higher energy needs. Alfalfa hay serves as a vital component of many animals' diets, contributing to their optimal health and performance.
Alfalfa Hay, Medicago Sativa, also known as Lucerne hay or Lucerne grass, is one of the most important forage crops cultivated in agriculture. It is widely grown throughout the world as forage for cattle and is typically harvested as hay. Alfalfa has the highest feeding value of all commonly grown hay crops. When grown on well-adapted soils, alfalfa is the highest yielding forage plant. Alfalfa Hay is used primarily for dairy cattle but is also fed to beef cattle, horses, sheep, goats and camels. One of the most important characteristics of alfalfa is its high nutritional quality as a â??completeâ?? animal feed. Alfalfa contains between 15% to 23% crude protein, as well as an excellent source of vitamins and minerals.

The haying process is totally manual and labour intensive process. The dry matter recovery is variable in nature. The dry matter means the hay residue of the same The pricing will fluctuate based on the dry matter recovery. The baling is done with a static baler in fixed size. During the sun curing process, the green pigments are lost. Which is a direct loss of Vitamin AD3. In order to avoid the loss of green pigmentation and core vitamin value of the forage, two-stage haying is executed by HAF�®. Stage One is direct sun curing and in Stage two passive sun curing is done in Net House. During the second stage of sun curing, high water content forage on drying process turns to Bottle Green Colour (which visually looks blackish green). Sometimes lump formation is evident in hay bales and its because the hay in post sun curing process reaches to Moisture level around 6% or 7 %. During the baling process, a mild spray of saline water is applied to the hay (which adds 0.34% Moisture). That enables the appropriate binding process of � the double-compressed bales. The usage of saline water (instead of regular water) for spraying prevents the microbial and toxin growth in the hay. Internationally accepted standard of Moisture in hay is 17%, whereas our hay has Moisture not above 9% in total. The shelf life of the HAF Alfalfa Hay is 30 Months and its all because of its meticulous processing methodology The bales must not come in direct sun light. Due to Photosensitivity, the green leafy material may loose green pigments. The standard weight of the Bale will be 45 Kgs or 50 Kgs, depending on the volume of the dry hay.
