Maximize Livestock Growth Discover the Protein Powerhouse of Alfalfa Hay

Alfalfa has long been appreciated for its high protein content. It is normally around 20% crude protein (CP) for dairy-quality hay/haylage and 16% to 18% CP ... The hay that was cut at the half-bloom stage was highest in digt'stible crude protein and in total digestible nutrients. It also gave the highest yields of ... In order to determine of nutritive value of alfalfa in different cuts using in situ and gas production technique, this study was carried out. Protein. Alfalfa hay generally contains a level of crude protein (CP) that is much higher than in competing forages such as cereal silages. Alfalfa hay contains high levels of protein and calcium, which makes it beneficial for horses with high energy and protein needs. Values ; Crude protein, 20.8, 23.1 ; Crude fibre, 20.5, 22.7 ; Crude fat, 3, 3.3 ; Ash, 11.7, 13 ... The crude protein on this roughly 50:50 alfalfa-grass hay was only 9.2%! Considering that full alfalfa hay averages about 18-21% crude protein ... Alfalfa hay ; Dry matter, % as fed, 89.4 ; Crude protein, % DM, 18.2 ; Crude fibre, % DM, 28.9 ; NDF, % DM, 44.8 ; ADF, % DM, 33.4 ... Nutrient composition of GBLRs and alfalfa hay pellets (DM basis %). Items, GBLR, Alfalfa Hay Pellet. Dry matter, 93.4, 93.8. Crude protein, 16.5, 15.2. Even late cut alfalfa typically contains 12 to 15 percent crude protein. Fiber content of alfalfa hays range from 20 to 28 percent. In contrast, grass hay ...
