HHC Quick Tips - Alfalfa Hay

HHC Quick Tips - Alfalfa Hay

 Alfalfa Hay is most common legume hay.  The stalks of hay are mostly fiber and the leaves contain protein.  Alfalfa is often very leafy and is higher in protein than grass hays.


In addition to being higher in protein, alfalfa has a high calcium to phosphorous ratio, which is why it is often paired with a lower calcium grass hay.
