Alfalfa

Alfalfa is a versatile plant that can be used as a high quality feed for horses and livestock, as a soil improver, and for human consumption (ie. sprouts etc.). Quality alfalfa hay has high protein, energy, vitamins, and minerals. It is often the preferred forage for horses and livestock because of its high quality, high digestibility, and good roughage value.

Alfalfa is the most important forage legume grown in Canada. It is the most widely adapted perennial forage legume. It has the highest yield potential and the highest feeding value of all adapted forage legumes.
