What is the nutritional difference between feeding a horse alfalfa hay versus standard timothy grass?
I am planning a balanced dietary schedule for equine performance. How do the protein levels calcium ratios and metabolic energy contents compare between these two primary forage options?

Alfalfa is a legume that yields significantly higher protein calcium and digestible energy levels, making it ideal for growing lactating or working horses. Timothy is a cool-season grass that provides high fiber and lower calories, perfect for maintenance.
