Lucerne hay, also known as alfalfa hay, is a nutrient-rich forage that offers significant benefits for both horses and small animals like rabbits and guinea pigs.
It is high in protein, calcium, and energy, making it ideal for young, growing animals, pregnant or lactating mares, and performance horses needing additional nutrients.
For small animals, it should be fed in moderation to avoid excessive calcium intake but can be beneficial for growth and development.
Lucerne hay also promotes healthy digestion due to its fiber content and helps maintain strong bones and muscles in animals needing higher nutritional support.
