Alfalfa cubes overall are better than pellets for our purposes. Pellets can’t be a substitute for alfalfa hay, but cubes can. Alfalfa cubes are convenient, provide high nutrient value, and have little waste.
Do alfalfa cubes need to be soaked?
If your horse is fairly new to being fed alfalfa cubes, or if you know he tends to eat too fast and is prone to choke, you’ll want to spray the cubes down with water before feeding them. There’s no need to soak them for a long time beforehand, as they will start to soften right away after being sprayed.
Does alfalfa cause colic in horses?
Rich alfalfa hay can also cause colic, so we recommend feeding a grass hay or grass/alfalfa mix. Changes in management or a horse’s routine can be stressful and contribute to colic risk as well. Therefore, ensuring your horse has access to fresh, clean water is very important.
Can you feed too much alfalfa?
Too much alfalfa requires a lot of calcium to buffer the acidic metabolites from protein metabolism. If there is not enough calcium available, the body will remove calcium from the bones, joints, and muscles. In addition, alfalfa can overstimulate the pituitary gland.
