Natural Lucerne Hay Nutrition

Lucerne, also known as alfalfa, is a nutritious legume hay widely used in animal feeding programs.

Compared with many grass hays, lucerne generally contains higher levels of protein and calcium, making it particularly useful for animals with increased nutritional requirements.

Lucerne provides:

Protein: Supports normal growth, muscle development and tissue maintenance.

Calcium: Essential for normal bone and skeletal development.

Fibre: Supports normal digestive function and provides important roughage.

Natural Plant Nutrients: Contributes to a varied, balanced feeding program.

Ideal for Rabbits

Torwood Farm Mini Lucerne Bale is particularly useful for young, growing rabbits, which have increased requirements for protein and calcium.

Lucerne may also be appropriate for pregnant and lactating rabbits requiring additional nutrition.

For healthy adult rabbits, grass hays such as Timothy, Oaten or suitable meadow hay should generally form the main hay portion of the diet, with lucerne provided only when nutritionally appropriate.

Ideal for Guinea Pigs

Growing guinea pigs require quality fibre and balanced nutrition.

Lucerne hay can provide additional protein and calcium during growth and may also be useful for pregnant or lactating guinea pigs when recommended as part of a suitable diet.

For healthy adult guinea pigs, a good-quality grass hay is generally preferred as the primary forage.

Important: Lucerne hay does not replace the guinea pig's daily requirement for dietary Vitamin C.

Suitable for Horses & Ponies

Lucerne is widely used in horse feeding programs as a source of quality forage, protein and calcium.

The Torwood Farm Mini Lucerne Bale is convenient for owners who need smaller quantities of hay, including for:

• Small ponies
• Miniature horses
• Supplementary forage feeding
• Travel and temporary feeding arrangements
• Small-scale horse ownership

Feed according to the animal's bodyweight, condition and overall nutritional requirements.

Convenient 22-Litre Mini Bale

One of the biggest advantages of Torwood Farm Mini Lucerne Bale is its practical size.

The 22L packaging makes it easy to store, transport and use without the handling difficulties of a full-sized bale.

It's particularly convenient for owners with limited storage space or only a few animals to feed.

Feeding Directions

Rabbits: Provide lucerne hay as part of an age-appropriate, balanced diet. Particularly suitable for growing rabbits and animals with increased nutritional requirements.

Guinea Pigs: Offer as part of an appropriate feeding program, particularly for growing animals. Continue to provide suitable grass hay and adequate Vitamin C.

Horses & Ponies: Feed as part of a balanced forage ration, adjusting quantities according to bodyweight, workload and nutritional requirements.

Introduce any new hay gradually and always provide unrestricted access to clean, fresh drinking water.

Storage Instructions

Store Torwood Farm Mini Lucerne Bale in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location.

Keep away from moisture, direct rain and contamination.

Protect from rodents and pests.

Do not feed hay showing signs of mould, excessive dust, unusual odours or deterioration.
