Alfalfa hay (also known as lucerne) is a significant and the most cultivated forage crop that is harvested worldwide. It thrives in warmer temperature climates and is commonly used as livestock fodder. This is an important crop because it is a high-quality nutritious fodder containing every essential amino acid, enzymes, vitamins, minerals and trace elements. While you may crop it at various stages of growth, it is recommended that harvesting it at early bloom would hold more nutrient values. This is a popular product due to its high protein content, highly digestible fiber, and high content in carotenoids. Dairy cows, beef cattle, horses, sheep, goats, rabbits and humans consume this product as a part of their diets. Alfalfa is cut and baled for ease in transportation, storage and feed.
