Overview

Description & composition

Alfalfa pellets are produced from dehydrated ground alfalfa compressed into uniform cylindrical pellets, preserving the forage's natural nutrients in a homogeneous, highly digestible, and easy-to-handle format. Their compact size simplifies storage, transport, and automated feeding, promoting steady voluntary intake while drastically reducing feed waste and dust. Standardized to deliver consistent crude protein and fiber profiles, they serve as a versatile ingredient across diverse livestock feeding programs and commercial feed manufacturing.

• Moisture: Maintain below 12% to minimize moisture absorption, risk of mold growth, and product deterioration.
• Management: Apply the FIFO (First In, First Out) system to use the oldest stored inventory first.
• Environment: Store in areas with constant air circulation, protected from rain, direct sunlight, and moisture leaks.
• Handling: Use pallets or skids to avoid direct contact with the floor and keep pellets away from damp walls.
