Alfalfa Hay – The High-Protein Boost for Growing Livestock

When animals need an extra nutritional push, Alfalfa Hay is the answer. Known as the “king of forages,” it delivers unmatched protein, calcium, and energy—making it ideal for young, lactating, or high-performance animals.

Nutritional Advantages of Alfalfa Hay

  • Crude Protein: 15–20%

  • Calcium: High (supports bone growth and milk production)

  • Digestible Energy: Higher than grass hays like Timothy

Benefits for Growing Livestock

  1. Promotes Rapid Growth
    Young animals—foals, calves, lambs, and kids—need protein for muscle development.

  2. Boosts Milk Yield
    Dairy cows and goats benefit from Alfalfa’s calcium and energy, improving milk quality and volume.

  3. Ideal for Underweight or Working Animals
    Alfalfa helps build body condition quickly without excessive grain feeding.

Best Uses by Animal Type

  • Horses: Ideal for performance or recovery, not for easy keepers

  • Dairy Cattle & Goats: Improves yield and quality

  • Beef Cattle: Helps in finishing diets

  • Sheep: Supports lamb growth and ewe milk production
