Alfalfa Cubes (for Horses)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Alfalfa Hay (Medicago Sativa or Lucerne Hay) is one of the most nutritious, versatile crops commonly used as animal feed for horses, dairy cows, beef cattle, camels, sheep, and goats. Alfalfa has high protein levels (generally between 15% and 19%) and ideal fiber levels allowing it to be easily palatable and digestible. Alfalfa cubes are primarily used for horses, although it is an excellent feed source for many animals.
