Oxbow Alfalfa Hay is a high-fiber legume hay with the same long-strand fiber found in grass hays, but with more protein, energy and calcium. This hay is perfect for young or lactating animals that need concentrated nutrition. The succulent taste stimulates the appetite of ill or post-surgical animals. Once an animal reaches adulthood or completes recovery, this nutritious forage should be replaced with a grass hay. Alfalfa Hay, mixed with any other Oxbow grass hay, creates a rich, flavorful and nutritious treat.

Alfalfa Hay can be used to help animals gain weight and will give a nice shine to their fur.
Elderly animals should be fed foods they enjoy, such as alfalfa, when considering quality of life.
Alfalfa Hay can be used in small amounts as an appetite stimulant for thin or convalescing animals.
Rabbits, guinea pigs and chinchillas under six months of age can be given Alfalfa Hay daily.
