Our Premium Low Sugar Alfalfa is a high-quality alfalfa grown for horse owners who want the nutritional benefits of alfalfa while being mindful of sugar and starch intake. With 21.1% crude protein, only 10.2% NSC, and 1.2% starch, this forage provides quality protein and highly usable energy through digestible fiber rather than excessive sugar and starch.
 
KEY FEATURES:
60 lb Bales: Convenient two-tie bales that are easy to handle, stack, and feed.
 
Excellent Protein: 21.1% crude protein provides quality nutrition to support muscle development, topline condition, growth, maintenance, and recovery.
 
Low Sugar & Starch: 9.0% WSC + 1.2% starch = 10.2% NSC, making this an excellent choice for horse owners looking for an alfalfa with a lower non-structural carbohydrate profile. (As always, consult your veterinarian before feeding horses with metabolic conditions.)
 
Quality Digestibility: With 59.6% Total Digestible Nutrients (TDN) and a Relative Feed Value (RFV) of 140, this hay provides a good balance of digestible fiber, protein, and energy.
 
Leafy & Nutrient Dense: A 6.9% lignin level contributes to fiber digestibility, while the combination of quality protein and digestible fiber supports overall forage value.
 
Balanced Mineral Profile: Naturally rich in Calcium (1.25%), with Phosphorus (0.36%), Magnesium (0.34%), and Potassium (3.41%) to contribute to a balanced equine diet.
 
Steady Energy: 0.61 Mcal/lb of Net Energy for Lactation (NEL) provides usable energy from forage, with much of the energy coming from digestible fiber rather than high levels of sugar and starch.
 
What this means for your horse:
Clean, consistent, and harvested for quality, our Premium Low Sugar Alfalfa provides the protein, fiber, and energy horses need while maintaining a low NSC profile of just 10.2%. With 21.1% protein, only 1.2% starch, and an RFV of 140, it’s an excellent option for horse owners who want the nutritional benefits of alfalfa while being more mindful of sugar and starch intake.
