Is alfalfa good for horses?

Good quality hay can provide most of the nutrients a horse needs. Hay can be grass hay (ex. Timothy) or Legume, more commonly called Alfalfa. Legume hays are much higher in protein than grass hays, although, it should not be the only source of forage for young, growing horses, due to its high Phospherous level. Grass hay and Legume hay mixed is a great choice of forage, other than grass, for horses.

Can dwarf rabbits eat grass?

Yes, any kind of pet rabbit can eat hay. Hay is the most important part of a pet rabbit's diet! See the related question below for more info about a healthy rabbit diet. Timothy hay (a kind of grass hay) is best as a staple for adults, whereas alfalfa hay is good for young and pregnant rabbits. Adult rabbits can eat other varieties of grass hay, too (like brome, orchard grass, meadow grass), but legume hays (like alfalfa) aren't good for them.

Why is sheep rearing a major occupation in the temperate grasslands?

Grass grows in abundance. This grass is more nutritious and makes a very good feed for the cattle. It grows all round the year. Trees grow here and there. These grasslands are useful for cattle rearing. Argentina is known for cattle and Australia for sheep. The animals of this region mostly supply meat and wool.

Do rabbits eat hay?

Yes, hay is excellent for rabbits! Hay is a great way to keep a rabbit's teeth healthy (they keep growing, and need to be worn down by something!) and digestive system healthy (hay is high in fibre), and a great way to keep them entertained and occupied (rabbits like to graze). Rabbits should have 100% 24/7 unlimited access to fresh hay. Fresh hay is greenish (some varieties more than others), sweet smelling, no mould or moisture, and low dust. Avoid hay that's been sitting on the shelf for months. Good hay for adult rabbits is grass hays like timothy, brome, orchard grass, meadow grass, and oat grass -- although oat grass is a little high in sugars and shouldn't be offered too often. Legume hays, like alfalfa, are not good for healthy adults. Alfalfa is an excellent hay for young rabbits (under one year old), nursing rabbits, pregnant rabbits, and some rabbits who are underweight or have been very sick and need the extra protein and carbs.


How many feedings per bale of hay?

Please be more specific. What do you mean by this question, are you referring to how long a bale of hay will last when fed to livestock? How many livestock are you asking about? What type or class? What size is the bale, what type, what weight? What does it comprise of (i.e., grass only, legume only, or legume-grass)? All of these questions need to be answered before this question can actually be answered.
