Yes they can. Alfalfa is high in protein and calcium and can cause mineral and vitamin imbalances if fed improperly. However that being said it is a good source of nutrition if fed correctly. You can add just a few pounds of it to a horses diet and see a marked improvement in most cases. You should always consult with your equine vet before changing a horses diet.
