SPOTLIGHT ON T​HE BARNYARD

Alfalfa has many advantages over grass in equine diets (and other species for that matter). Alfalfa is more nutrient dense meaning more protein, more energy and more calcium. Combine that with less sugars and starches and alfalfa becomes a 'super forage".

Not meant to replace hay in a horses diet but alfalfa will improve the overall value of any diet. Alfalfa provides 'cool' calories and can be a real benefit when hay quality is poor nutritionally.
