Lucerne High Energy Pellets

Lucerne or Alfalfa, is a high protein forage crop grown either to cut and feed to livestock as fresh material, silage or cut, sun-dried and formed into convenient, palatable, dust free pellets. The nutritional composition of lucerne offers in one ingredient a balance of high quality protein with rumen by-pass qualities for dairy cows and ruminants and an energy source from both plant sugars (about 3% of dry matter only) and digestible fi bre, plus a readily available calcium source.

These components make lucerne pellets an ideal protein source to balance cereals for all livestock. The fi bre component makes lucerne an excellent supplement to feed to horses and ruminants where digestive physiology is dependent on good fibre intakes.

Combining the benefits of the protein, fibre and materials in lucerne with the energy of barley. A good option when a little more energy is required to improve condition prior to showing or for leisure horses in light work, and the professional stud sheep breeders choice for both health and condition
