Alfalfa is a highly palatable, nutritious, nutrient dense perennial grass forage. It will typically test well over 12% in protein and is packed with many other nutrients like calcium, phosphorus and iron. It’s easy to digest due to its high fiber content, provides an excellent source of energy for your animals, and is rich in vitamins. Alfalfa has been used by farmers for many years as an excellent feed source for horses and cattle. Alfalfa is known to be an ideal for horses and livestock needing high protein and energy. This is not recommended for goats and should only be fed in limited amounts to rabbits due to the higher calcium and protein levels in a rabbit's body.
