Alfalfa hay is an excellent source of good quality protein and fiber. These hays are higher in protein and minerals and are more palatable than grass hays. Alfalfa in particular is high in energy and is an excellent source of vitamins and minerals. It has the most feed value of all the perennial pasture forages.

Alfalfa represents a crucial source of vegetable protein for animal farming and besides being rich in vitamins, minerals and amino acid, it is an inexhaustible source of digestible fiber, indispensable for the growth of healthy and long-living animals, able to produce top-quality milk, meat and eggs.

With its high nutritional quality, Alfalfa hay is one of the best and most popular horse feed varieties available. The biggest benefit of alfalfa for horses is that it tends to be more nutrient-dense than most grasses when harvested at the same stage of maturity. Because it’s so nutrient-dense, it is a good feed for underweight horses. Alfalfa is ideal on high planes of nutrition, such as lactating broodmares, growing horses, thin horses, racehorses, performance horses, or young foals that aren’t getting enough milk.
