Alfalfa, known as the “Queen of forages”, is a legume, a nitrogen fixing plant that can extract nitrogen from the atmosphere and incorporate into plant proteins. The quality of alfalfa protein is excellent with more than 70% of its total protein being digestible. Alfalfa has one of the highest feeding values of forages. However, it is sometimes underestimated as an energy source. A ton of alfalfa hay contains as much TDN as 25 bushels of corn (and as much protein as 2/3 ton of soybean meal). Alfalfa hay will pass through the rumen of a cow in about one-half the time required by grass hay (36 vs 70 hours). Therefore, animals fed alfalfa hay tend to gain body weight faster, produce more milk, and maintain themselves in better condition than those fed other forages. Alfalfa can provide most minerals and vitamins at less cost than if supplied from processed sources. If alfalfa hay of 1% of the total body weight of the cow is fed, the beef animal will meet its daily requirements for calcium, magnesium, potassium, sulfur, iron, cobalt manganese and zinc. Phosphorus levels of alfalfa are more moderate, but still high enough that if fed at the above rates will supply about 2/3 of the daily requirements needed. The high level of calcium in alfalfa is especially important for lactating cows, young developing replacement heifers and bulls. Mineral content of alfalfa is related to fertilization and local soils. Ceads is harvesting the alfalfa from the land on which the plant has originated in history and given the rich and fertile soil in addition to the adequate climate, the alfalfa plant raised on this soil is highly rich in minerals and especially lab results show that CEADS alfalfa has up to three times more calcium than alfalfa grown elsewhere. It is therefore an excellent feed specially for dairy cows. Leafy, green alfalfa hay is unusually high in carotene, the precursor of Vitamin A. Vitamin A is the most common beef cow vitamin deficiency. Good quality alfalfa hay can furnish all the Vitamin A needs of beef animals. In addition to many dietary functions of Vitamin A, this vitamin also may have therapeutic value, and be a contributing factor in preventing “shipping fever complex” and other disorders associated with animal stress.
Alfalfa hay: Alfalfa - non-magnetic perennial fodder crop of the legume family, popular throughout the world. High nutritional value is caused not only by the diverse content of nutrients, but also by its high productivity. Alfalfa is the leader among feed grasses in protein content, which by its qualities is not inferior to animal protein. Alfalfa hay harvested during the formation of buds contains up to 10% protein.

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.

Alfalfa, also called lucerne, is a perennial flowering plant in the legume family Fabaceae. It is cultivated as an important forage crop in many countries around the world. It is used for grazing, hay, and silage, as well as a green manure and cover crop. The name alfalfa is used in North America. Alfalfa hay is an excellent source of energy, protein, calcium, and some other nutrients for horses. Its concentrations of protein and calcium meet the nutrient needs of horses in high levels of production, such as growth and lactation, but exceed the nutrient requirements of horses in other life stages. Used widely in animal feed, it is able to provide a nutrient-rich source in commercial animal production. MOQ: 40ft Container Supplied from Kenya, Spain, the United States, etc.
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.
