Lucerne Bale

Premium Lucerne Bale

Give your horse or other suitable animal a nutritious source of quality forage with our Premium Lucerne Bale. Lucerne, also known as alfalfa, is naturally rich in protein, fibre, calcium, vitamins and minerals, making it a valuable addition to a balanced feeding programme.

Our lucerne is sun-cured for freshness and palatability and provides a highly appetising source of natural forage and energy. Its fibre content supports healthy digestion, while its naturally higher protein and mineral content makes it particularly useful for horses and other animals requiring additional nutritional support.

Feeding Information

Lucerne can be fed as part of a balanced forage-based diet. Introduce new forage gradually and ensure fresh, clean drinking water is available at all times.

The appropriate amount depends on the animal's size, age, workload, body condition and overall diet. Because lucerne is more nutrient-dense than many grass hays, feeding quantities should be considered alongside other forage and concentrates.

Storage

Store lucerne bales in a dry, well-ventilated area, protected from rain and ground moisture. Keeping forage dry helps preserve its freshness, palatability and nutritional quality.
