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.
