Über diesen Titel

Alfalfa is one of the most debated feeds in equine nutrition, and few forages generate as many myths. In this episode, we take a science-based look at alfalfa for horses and break down where common beliefs come from and whether they are actually supported by research. We discuss protein, calcium, behavior, ulcers, and health concerns so horse owners can make informed feeding decisions based on the individual horse, not barn lore.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Does alfalfa make horses hot or more reactive
  • Protein, kidney health, and joint development myths
  • Calcium levels
  • Why alfalfa is often recommended for ulcer-prone and performance horses
  • Differences between long-stem alfalfa, pellets, cubes, and chopped forage

This episode is designed to help horse owners evaluate alfalfa for horses using evidence-based nutrition rather than opinion.
